To many in Eastern Ukraine, Poland, Russia, and Jewish communities, Stepan Bandera wasn’t a hero—he was a fascist ideologue whose movement left a trail of war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
Glorifying him isn’t nationalism—it’s historical amnesia.

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty.
So I asked the Chancellor — who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter — if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.
This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.
That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

"Along with racialized minorities, fascists typically target... people with disabilities. Kennedy doesn't even bother to hide his dehumanizing view of those he deems "unhealthy," a group he estimates is over half of Americans."
This is the Reform/Farage vision for the UK.
