October 30, 2023 - Tens of thousands of striking garment workers took to the streets in Bangladesh, demanding fair wages. Many of the workers make clothes for big Western brands, but get paid only around 75 dollars a month. The unions are demanding a tripling of the wage. [video]/[video]

See the chap with glasses and an incredible moustache in the bottom right? that's Magnus Hirschfeld, the gay Jewish doctor who ran the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Research) in Berlin. It was largely his books, his research that the Nazis burned.

Everyone else in this photo is a trans person that Dr Hirschfeld worked with. This photo was taken at their christmas party.

It is important to note that this action was not an "oh, Nazis ALSO targetted other prople". They directly linked Hirschfeld's institute and research to claims of a Jewish plot to destroy German society.

If that sounds familiar, it's because it is the EXACT same rhetoric being rolled out by prominent TERFs for the last few years including, yes, The Wizard Lady.

Antisemitism, racism, and transphobia/homophobia are ALWAYS linked together.

Putting up graffiti & posters in Iran that says "Mahsa Amini" the name of a 22 year old Kurdish woman who was murdered by police in Tehran this week, after being arrested for allegedly failing to wear a hijab.

Since her death the country has exploded in rebellion with riotous protests breaking out in cities around Iran, especially in the South East Kurdish region.

"Let's write #Mehsa_Amini's name on the walls of the city. Place Mahsa's photo on our cars. Let's also place photos of the other innocents killed next to her photo and ask for what sin the children of this land were killed and covered in blood.

Mahsa is not just another name or victim, but the "code name and symbol" of the people, youth and women of this land. We shout it in our national mourning. We shout our "code name" in every gathering we get the chance, we make it a symbol of the petition of all the dead as we speak of totalitarianism and the overthrow of the government.

Let's close the shops and the markets in coordinated strikes as a movement of sympathetic and harmonious mourners.

Wherever we are, with whatever facilities we have, on the streets, in the city squares, on the boulevards, on the rooftops and intersections, in the name and memory Dear Mahsa, let's show our anger and turn it into a protest.

Let's not keep our tears, hatred and anger in the house, let's bring it to the street. The street is our right, it is our property, it is our house of protest"

Because of Brexit, all companies which only operate ATMs inside the EU have now replaced the UK’s Union Jack with the Irish tricolour for the English language option.

Ye killed our language lads, so now we’ve kidnapped yours.
