“The real question, then, is not ‘what can we do?’, but ‘what are we afraid to do?’ Whose comfort are we protecting when we ask safe questions? Whose illusions do we preserve through politeness? Solidarity is not an optic; it is a disruption. It is noisy, uncomfortable, often isolating. It pulls reputation apart rather than polishing it.

We are too fluent in the language of outrage, too comfortable in the posture of virtue. History will not absolve spectatorship, even when specta…

Few countries are more aware of the fragility of democracy than Poland.
45 years ago, Lech Walesa started Poland's Solidarity Movement, stared down the Soviet Union, and became his country's first democratically elected president.
He joins the show from Phoenix, Arizona to discuss today's dangers and his own extraordinary personal and political story.
Christiane Amanpour is fixated on history, which is important, but 82 year old Lech Walesa is not having it…

Via the organizer:
"After the capture of El Fashir by RSF militias, mass atrocities against civilians took place: killings, rapes, torture, and ethnic cleansing. This is another stage in the genocidal war being waged in Darfur and other regions of Sudan.
We demand:
• Protection of civilians and an immediate end to these atrocities.
• Withdrawal of the RSF from El Fashir and other occupied areas.
• Immediate access of humanitarian aid.
• End of international support for the RSF.
• Designation of the RSF as a terrorist organization"

Some reactions to the current Indonesian protests:
- As far as the underlying issue goes, that of legislative pay, the protesters are in the wrong there, as legislators do actually deserve to be compensated for the extra expenses associated with the position
- That being said, the rights we consider "First Amendment rights" here in the US (speech, assembly, petitioning the government for redress of grievances) are fundamental and should be protected. The protesters have a right to protest even if they are wrong about legislative pay.
- Furthermore, police response to the protests has been disproportionately violent and fascistic. The death of a protester struck by a police vehicle shows the danger of both car culture and police militarization. Further protests on these two topics are necessary, and I stand in solidarity with any protesters speaking out against police brutality and vehicle deadliness.

In light of "Antifa" being designated a "terrorist organization," a (very mildly) good thing that anyone can do is say publicly: "I am antifa."
Antifa is *already* a decentralized non-organization, but throwing up enough chaff that dragnet "surveillance" of online spaces becomes useless is a good thing. I promise you really don't want to live in the world in which whoever the president considers "antifa" has been hunted down and locked up, but thankfully, the president doesn't have the resources to make that happen without lots of local police cooperation. Local police are generally champing at the bit to bash leftists under the flimsiest of pretexts and already have programs doing undercover surveillance of leftist spaces, but they also don't want to look like fools or be mocked by their communities, so a strong public response indicating sympathy for and/or real solidarity with "antifa" could influence things right now.

2/2 Reflection on #citizenship:
I do not treat the concept of “#democracy" lightly. I was born into the aftermath of centuries of totalitarian oppression that ended suddenly, leaving the nascent Ukrainian state of the late 90s and early 2000s floundering in the turbulent whirlpool of hopes and fears felt by millions of people who were finally allowed to ponder: how to build a free democratic state in the place of Soviet and imperial ruins?
I was taught the words "democracy", "citizen", "freedom", "voting", “liberty" (and more) by people who, less than two decades prior, weren't allowed to leave the borders of their country. I was told about self-determination by people whose political choices were ridiculed, punished, and eviscerated form most of their lives. The duty of governing ourselves felt to us ephemeral - a nice fantasy, akin to a fairytale or a utopia from fictional works.
And then I saw those same people fight with their bodies and souls once the previously unfathomable democracy was threatened. Protests in 2004, then again in 2014, then the unthinkable war against foreign invasion in 2022. Democracy no longer felt abstract or silly. It became as tangible as saying "I love you".
I write of Ukraine as I reflect on becoming a citizen of another country because the history and values of my adopted United States feel as real as the skin on my legs, the significance of its legacy lays as heavy as the weight of my waist-long hair, and the desire to uphold the freedoms of its Constitution burns my throat as harshly as dehydration after a long day in the sun.
People have asked me why I even want to join this country, when the present moment is shrouded in impenetrable darkness. And I answer: because I've felt the warmth of a newly lit fire of freedom breaking through shadows that for centuries looked like solid walls. I have seen kindness, and solidarity heal the fear and hate of oppression. I've seen liberty emerge from nothing but the human soul.
I am not a religious person, but I have faith. Faith in the ideals at the foundation of the American project. Faint but powerful recognition that "we the people" now includes me.
I love #America. And I hope to keep loving my home for the rest of my life.

Content warning: thoughtful article on Jewish solidarity with Gaza

Appreciating these reflections from writer & organiser Simone Zimmerman.
"Standing at the action that day, I was heartened to witness the growing ranks of Jews standing against the horrors in Gaza. But the presence of these progressive Zionist groups also provided a painful reminder of their long absence. ...
"Jewish communities should ask themselves “What would you have done to stop the annihilation of the Jews of Europe?” and should do just that for Palestinians now. You are either for genocide or against it.
"... most of us—myself included—had our own painful confrontation with Zionism. We recall both the isolation of being cast out of the mainstream Jewish community and the sweetness of building new relationships of solidarity. I’m only here today because many people offered me an off-ramp. That’s why many in my position feel that it is our responsibility to engage—to exercise humility and grace as we sit with other Jews in their fear and shame, and invite them to take action with us."

Hundreds of people expressed outrage over passive stance of Polish ministry in light of recent interceptions of the flotilla ships on international waters.
During the demonstration two activists spillt red paint and smashed the window in the entrance to the ministry. The crowd marched for several hours through the city centre despite police trying (and quickly failing) to stop them. The march concluded in front of the police station the activists had been taken to and turned into a solidemo.

In May 2025, the FA
restricted women's
football to only
people "born with
ovaries."

The ban immediately
ended the careers of
4 Clapton women and
non binary players.

Trans and intersex
players have been
fairly and safely
taking part in FA
women's football
for years.
claptoncfc

This ban is unwanted,
unevidenced and
unenforceable.

Is the FA seriously
proposing mandatory
sex testing for the
hundreds of thousands
of players who play
grassroots football?

One banned player said:
"Playing for Clapton
CFC surrounded by
loving, supportive
teammates was one of
the best things to ever
happen to me.
Football should be
sanctuary, instead
the FA have made it
a place for exclusion,
discrimination and
intrusion".
claptoncfc

Already, we've heard
reports of players being
subjected to invasive
questioning and
investigation because
of how they look.

The FA is responsible
for this toxic
harassment of gender
non conforming players.

On 5 December 1921,
the FA announced
a ban on women's
football.

It took 50 years to
overturn it.

We are on the right
side of history.

Our protests and
our solidarity will
mean we won't have
to wait 50 years to

ban.

course now.

A supporter said:
"The FA is a governing body that has
a track record of banning women for
playing their favourite sport.

teams to be bought by capitalists

Fun fact!
"our post office used to have a national savings bank – up until 1969 – and there is no reason we shouldn't have one today”
Some other reasons:
"Banks are failing to meet the needs of a growing number of Canadians. Thousands of towns and villages across our country do not have a bank. But many of them have a post office that could provide access to financial and banking services.”
"Postal banking is lucrative!
New Zealand: Kiwibank generated 81% of New Zealand Post's after tax profits.”
"France: Banque Postale has an obligation to provide products and services to as many people as possible. It provides a Livret A or passbook savings account, at no charge, to anyone who requests it. It also provides banking services to the financially vulnerable and financing for social housing, voluntary organizations and microentrepreneurs lacking bank credit.”
"Canada Post's secret postal banking study
Canada Post conducted a secret four-year study on postal banking that indicates that adding this service "would be a win-win strategy" for the corporation. This study was obtained though an Access to Information (ATI) request. Unfortunately, 701 of the study's 811 pages were redacted. CUPW has asked Canada Post's President to release the full report, but he has refused.”

When you start to see that capitalism is nothing but systemic exploitation and domination, and that Marxism-Leninism only reproduces the same state capitalism under another name through authoritarian state socialism, you then realize that leftist parties don’t actually bring about any fundamental change, because they to keep power rigidly centralized, to preserve existing hierarchies, and to maintain the dominance of the ruling classes.
If you want a genuine alternative, one built on w…

Trump proclaims he will strike against Antifa. Yet he cannot strike what has no head, what rejects the very principle of leadership. Antifa is not an institution but the spirit of resistance itself. It is the refusal of free people to bend before nationalism, capitalist rule, and authoritarian command.
He believes domination can be imposed upon liberty, as if coercion could extinguish solidarity. But our strength lies in direct action, in the free cooperation of equals, in the collecti…

So Carney tries to force AC employees back to work after less than 12 hours. Every day, he shows the Liberal Party has abandoned working people, and Carney is just the latest. Trudeau’s government didn’t care either.
“Steven Tufts, associate professor and labour geographer at York University, says Air Canada has become dependent on the federal government to solve its labour-relations issues.
He mentioned last year's dispute between the airline and the pilots' union. Air Canada asked for the government to be ready to step in before the two sides reached a tentative agreement in September 2024.”

I hold that genuine freedom can only be realized through the direct self-management of labor and the collective organization of social life by those engaged in it. No political vanguard, governmental apparatus, or capitalist hierarchy can provide emancipation, it must emerge from the autonomous initiative of workers acting in solidarity, constructing federations of production and community based on voluntary association and mutual responsibility.
For me, anarcho-syndicalism represents …

Jimmy Fallon's career, reputation, and legacy is determined by what he does tonight.
He can't just talk about it.
He can't joke about it.
He has to end his show in protest and solidarity for free speech, expression, and the rule of law.
