Alcohol is a drug
A pub is a drug consumption room
A Bar man is a drug dealer.
All done in a strictly regulated and controlled environment. Acceptable
Now imagine if alcohol was banned like others drugs.
Chaos!
Regulate and control all drugs.

Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed on a stunning victory in Michigan.
You stood up against corporate greed, against racism and against genocide.
Your incredible campaign shows that there’s something more powerful than big money, hatred and lies: hope.

8 people including a 4 year old kid
If they were Jewish/Israeli we'd rightly see their faces, know their names, world leaders scrambling to condemn it & find those responsible.
But they're Palestinians so nothing.
Israel will do it again tomorrow as they have for decades.
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill eight including child, hospitals say bbc.in/4Abm6Ep

It's now manifestly clear from London to Washington that their governments act in the interests of Israel before all else.
What a staggering fact.
A monstrous nation with wanted war criminals as its leaders.
Israel calls the shots
BREAKING: Labour has announced it's pulling out of coalition and power-sharing with the Greens in 11 local authorities over the party's 'Zionism is racism' policy.

Seven years ago, Lula was in prison serving an unjust conviction.
Today, he is the re-elected president of Brazil.
In 2018, he said “there is no point in trying to end my ideas, they are already lingering in the air”.
Lula’s ideas don't just linger. They live!
Viva Lula!

29 students.
The TOTAL number of students in the massive UK government report who said they experienced antisemitism.
Israel has murdered 862 TIMES that number of Palestinian kids.
With the support of the UK.

Didn’t the war criminal, Netanyahu, recently walk in and out of New York completely unperturbed?
Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

British state used drug policy to reinforce NI state during peace process & legitimise PSNI post GFA. That strategy needed loyalist paras & a drug market was next step in collusion. 3 decades later those state sponsored loyalist paras are for hire thugs for British far right.
Well it has been two years since I used this account as I got locked out and couldn't get back in and then somehow I accidentally got in this morning. How is everyone that's still active on here?

International Law is officially dead, by the West's own hand: The Polish PM declared he will ensure the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu's arrest will be ignored when he visits Poland. Meanwhile US Congress imposed sanctions on ICC officials.
Sure aren't we all just working class scumbags. We make them their wealth so they get to do this and we are taxed for it. 😅

“KILLING IN THE NAME” just hit 1 billion streams on Spotify! Thanks to all those who listened to it: those who love it, those who hate it, and those that have enjoyed it without understanding it. Righteous proof that rebel music and irony are alive and well.

The 1%, yes, the billionaire class, are now fully in control. With this presents an opportunity for the working class to unite bcoz that is all there is, the working class! Middle and upper is now all but an illusion. We are bigger than billionaires who are destroying democracy!
True hero of the working class whos poitical hero was James Connolly will be sorely missed but has inspired the resurgence of true socialists.
Hope Eddie Dempsey gets the gig
