Solidarity with 18 of our comrades in Filistin İçin Bin Genç who have been taken into police custody after calling on the Turkish state to stop supplying oil to Israel. We call for their immediate release!

Went to the Br*tish Store today outside of Brussels. Finally, I’m able to make bread in this country

My job says I should look at the answers to the committee questions, but my heart says to look at the conflict of interest declarations and see who has a nice summer house on the coast

BREAKING: the #nuclear referendum in #Slovenia planned for November is officially cancelled by Parliament. Reasons include malversations during the organisation, but also increasing opposition against manipulated information provision. Earlier coverage: sloveniatimes.com/41185/nuclear-…

Turkey carried out massive air strikes on civilian targets in North-East Syria, killing and injuring dozens of people. Civilian infrastructure such as grain stores, power plants and administrative facilities have been targeted. Take action! Our Statement: makerojavagreenagain.org/attacks-on-roj…
