1/ Brief thread on the relationship of the official (not ‘public’) history of British policy during the Troubles and the precise nature of its relationship to the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act

A really interesting thread in providing some context to the lack of transparency in creating this panel and official history project. The political interference is not only clear in directing the structure and form but also deeply paranoid in its desire to control the narrative.

Niao Collective Another mix of 'Do you hear the people sing' was put together by Milk Tea Alliance PH 🪧🪧🪧 where they mixed together versions from a number of countries to show the unity of the causes and how the song resonates with many.

And a sign language version of “Glory to HK” 🤓

Bagpipe version of “Glory...”, played in a mall, because HK is the best.

And the pan- #MilkTeaAlliance “Do You Hear the People Sing?” 😭

And yes, 'All I know is I won't go speechless' made it into protest art too:

There is a version of 'Glory to Hong Kong' in Animal Crossing too. Isabelle really likes the song, ok?

In light of 'Glory to Hong Kong' being banned earlier today... Defo worth checking this thread about protest songs of Hong Kong (And some from the wider #MilkTeaAlliance )

i feel like many of us in the trinity encampment are acutely aware of how lucky we are that the people of ireland are so pro-palestine, forcing the university to fully capitulate in mere days, whilst our comrades elsewhere are being bulldozed and brutalised

Instead of providing accom for those seeking protection and refuge, as is their right, the state decided that no one can use our public spaces.
This gov continues to fail us all, Irish and immigrant alike.
Failure to plan, failure to build, and failure to provide.

A vote for a Fine Gael MEP is a vote for the far right.

The government is finding it was to erect fences and barriers than to come up with a long term solution to this. The question now is where is the next tent city going to pop up absent a plan to house homeless asylum seekers?

2. the academic boycott of Israel has huge chances of success, in the short term in reputational damage and delegitimising academic-washing of genocide, in the long term by truly isolating an apartheid regime, as in the case of South Africa.
3. Support BDS, it works.

The German-speaking world often has a knee-jerk response to BDS, claiming boycotts are antisemitic per se. This is obvious nonsense, evidenced nowhere better than in this Nature article on the history of academic boycotts

A short 🧵.

At a time when the US Supreme Court is mulling over explicit homelessness criminalisation, the AGS here seem to have invented an offence from whole cloth

#EveryWorkerNeedsaUnion #jointhewobblies

For a workers lead union such as the IWW, we believe that every worker needs to be part of a union.

You can join the IWW today wherever you work or live, no matter if you are working or not.

Members of ‘far-right’ parties oppose a United Ireland; want the Irish language to die; say people in the North are not Irish; are supported by Brits who cheer the soldiers responsible for Bloody Sunday, and by loyalist paramilitary hangers on. Can you see it now?

Moving asylum seekers around like cattle isn't right Simon Harris TD
Dealing with the situation means opening up disused buildings & housing the men there. These are humans who are seeking refuge not numbers or cattle
