In 1943, Black American soldiers in England faced a battle not against Hitler—but against Jim Crow. The Battle of Bamber Bridge showed how racism followed the U.S. Army overseas—and how one British town saw those men simply as soldiers, as equals, and was proud to have them.

HOW TO KEEP REFORM OUT IN YOUR AREA…

Great tool just launched - Vote tactically in the May 1st local elections:

Stop the Tories and Reform
Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.

Anyone know anywhere in Devon, Dorset, Bristol or near where I could move my sailing boat and live on. I really don’t want to live where I am right now.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Another classic 1936 poster. "Aixafem el feixisme" (Let’s crush fascism) by Pere Català i Pic shows an espardenya (Cat) alpargata (Span), crushing a swastika on a wet, cobbled street of Barcelona, symbolising both fight by the working class against fascism and Catalan identity.

A bloody disgrace that the Spanish parliament with votes of the reactionary Spanish right PP and Vox together with the reactionary Catalan and Basque right Junts (Puigdemont et al) and PNB have just re-legalised the hunting of wolves in Spain.

The man who partied while responsible for the deaths of thousands due to his negligence is being paid to take to the stage at Edinburgh Usher Hall.

Let Usher Hall know that Boris isn't welcome, & let them know that they shouldn't be welcoming him.

So Nigel Farage has replaced Boris Johnson as the MP trousering the most money from other jobs.

Farage has pocketed over £570,000 in outside income in just six months.

I brought a Bill to ban all MPs' Second Jobs.

I'll keep pushing to end this racket once and for all.

Remember, RFK Jr said that measle outbreaks were common. He said that. Just last week. Now, because of him, people aren't getting vaccinated. Now, because of him, people are hospitalized and dying. Get vaccines

Austerity is the insane idea that it's possible to cut your way to prosperity

After 15 years of stagnation, we should know it doesn't work by now

But we're an insane country because we let our politicians keep doing it despite knowing the immense harm it does to the economy, communities & people

I was very lucky to go on Nick's walking tour of Barcelona a few years ago. It was very special to see the city through the lens of the Spanish Revolution. Highly recommend going if you are in Barcelona.
