al aqsa flood permanently transformed the world. it exposed the true nature of social democracy and forced the west to give up the lies it relied on to maintain legitimacy and to abandon the facade of international law and "the rules based order"

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Hey buddy, please try to be critical with what you’ve been told to believe about China. You’ve been lied to, and it’s worth taking some time to reassess. @upstreampodcast.bsky.social has a really good China series. Some are gated, but the ungated options are a good place to start.

Good to hear about the state of play for workers and worker organising in China w/ Immanuel Ness. An astonishing comparison is that the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) represents 75% of the 402 million workers in China. Union density in the US is 10%, an all time low.

American liberals really need to learn about Cuba in a way that isn’t just US state department propaganda. Might I suggest: Helen Yaffe’s book “We Are Cuba!” and her appearances on @upstreampodcast.bsky.social www.patreon.com/upstreampodc... And Blowback’s season on Cuba blowback.show/Season-2
