From hospitals to blockades, Hanne Bosselaers stands with Gaza. Aboard The Conscience, she joined the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social to defy the siege. What's happening in Gaza is not a conflict, it’s a crime. Only global solidarity and organized resistance can end the genocide

Europe must break with US imperialism and reject building its own capitalist empire. We need a socialist Europe, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, and in solidarity with the Global South’s liberation struggles @petermertens.bsky.social

🇧🇫 Thomas Sankara was assassinated on 15 October 1987. The Marxist president of Burkina Faso fought for pan-African unity against the stranglehold of IMF debt and to feed his people. He succeeded: the UN recognized that hunger had been eradicated in just four years ✊

Trump is glorifying the memory of Columbus by reviving #ColumbusDay, but that’s an insult to Native Americans. 1492 didn’t mark the start of a dream; it marked the beginning of genocide.

The spirit of Bandung wasn’t just about being free; it was about being free together. The Global South has always fought for freedom, but Bandung was a radical moment of collective liberation. Made possible through unity and solidarity @progintl.bsky.social

The spirit of Bandung burns in the Sahel. These states forced the military to throw the French out, resisting neocolonialism through action. Anti-imperialism lives in protest, not in policy. Dismantle neocolonialism

On 30 Sept 1965, one of the worst massacres of the 20th century began. Backed by the CIA, the Indonesian military and right-wing mobs slaughtered up to 1 million communists and leftists. A methodical purge erased a powerful movement.

Wada Masako, a survivor of the Nagasaki bombing, asks: ‘What is dignity? Should human beings be treated like that?’ Her testimony is a call for peace and nuclear disarmament.

Jeremy Corbyn — convener of the League Against Imperialism Centennial Campaign (LAI27) — reminds us:
If humanity has already outlawed biological weapons and landmines, we can and must do the same for nuclear weapons — even more destructive and dangerous than both combined.

Thomas Sankara’s legacy is alive!

1848 – Slavery abolished in Martinique.
After a workers’ rebellion made the decree a reality.
Not a gift from France—but a win forced by resistance.
