THREAD: Why is antifascism fading from Europe's official memory, while anti-communism is rising? And what does this shift mean for democracy, the far right, and the future of political possibility? Let's talk about memory politics — and how it shapes power.

"Demilitarisation of Palestine"? As Israel commits genocide in its most sadistic forms, are new conditions being quietly slipped into the defunct peace process? And still no word on justice, accountability, or reparations, without which peace is unacceptable (post-WWII history…
Jeremy Corbyn says people are signing up for the new party at the rate of 500 every minute.
Macron just stated France will recognize Palestine as a state starting from September.
America was founded as a genocidal settler colony and Trump’s isn’t afraid to proclaim it unabashedly without all the flowery language of ‘melting pot’ and hyphenated American identities. Just bare heart of US put on display
