Protesters in Mexico City form a huge Palestinian flag, as part of the protests throughout the city during the World Cup.
Mildly interesting - every year the IDN give out around €15,000 to small degrowth-aligned groups, to celebrate those running degrowth-esque events.
We've just announced the winning applicants - out of 34 applications, 10 were awarded a grant of €1,000.
So basically - a 1 in 3 chance of being allocated funding!
You can read about those who were granted funding here: https://www.degrowth.network/news/2026-06-11-idn-events-fund-2026-announcement-of-results/
RT: @implausibleblog Zack Polanski, “Secondly, I think it's undoubtedly true that the conversation around Israel is so obviously toxic"
"And I say that as a Jewish person, it is so vital, as you were saying, that we separate antisemitism from criticism of the Israeli government"
"Now, it won't surprise you to hear me say this, I imagine as a Jewish person, antisemitism exists in our society"
"It's a real problem in the same way that Islamophobia is a real problem and all forms of racism"
"And I would say, as workers, as socialists, as progressives, as people on the left, it's really important that we collectively show solidarity to racism in all of its forms"
"That is a different conversation from recognising that there has been an ongoing genocide in Palestine, but also in the West Bank, where the settlers are as well, that there's been an illegal occupation that has been going on for decades and decades now, for an entire generation"
"And from the absolute complicity, in fact, more than complicity, from the active enabling of the British government, who are still sharing arms or selling arms licences, sharing intelligence"
"And it is so important, I think it's really revealed the gap between where Westminster establishment politicians are and where the public are"
"Because I've been saying this for a while, and I hope people in the room would know I would say this even if it was an unpopular thing to say"
"But actually, we're in the place where public sentiment so strongly shows that people are undoubtedly and unsurprisingly concerned about an ongoing genocide, yet we still have establishment politicians continuing to support it"
"We've got Wes Streeting, who suddenly seems to have woken up and noticed what's going on just in time for a leadership election, talking about a genocide"
"And then we've got Andy Burnham, who says that he can't judge or make a comment on it"
"And that seems odd to me when we've seen four years now of horrendous and brutal and horrific livestreamed attacks on our TVs and our phone screens"
"And I think every single politician needs to recognise right now what's going on, to speak with clarity, to speak with transparency, and call out what's going on"
White folks, with a lot of societal privileges: "I can't afford to protest. I might lose my job."
Non-white folks, without much societal privileges: "I can't afford to not fight. I might die "

“It inflicts burns that can penetrate to the bone.”
Israel has repeatedly used white phosphorus over populated areas of Lebanon, in violation of international law.
When we finally capture Netanyahu and his criminal colleagues, it will be long trials in The Hague.
At this point, if you're still planning to sit in your living room, sportswashing genocide and fascism (or worse, have given money to support it by buying a ticket), then get the fuck off my timeline.
In two days, the soccer world championship will start.
If you'll watch any soccer match, I ask you to unfollow me.
I don't want followers for whom fascism isn't a red line. I don't want followers who are so simple-minded that they value their own entertainment more than boycotting an utterly corrupt and fascist institution.
If your friends ask you to join them on a public viewing, say no and explain to them why you boycott an organisation that gifts Trump a fake peace prize. If they insist on watching the game anyway or put you under pressure, then fascism isn't a red line for your friends.
In that case, remember this quote by Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor:
> It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race.
If you watch a soccer match, I won't think well of you.
