Free public transport in Ukraine

2 mois 1 semaine ago

The common weal versus capitalist modernity.
Free public transport can open cities to all. It combats social injustice and can also help to tackle climate change, by moving away from car-centred urban transport systems.
Public transport has been made free in more than 130 municipalities in Brazil – and, in Europe, Luxembourg; Tallinn, Estonia; Belgrade, Serbia and several French cities.

No concessions to any imperialism! The Zapatistas' Clear Stand on Ukraine

From the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico's Indigenous revolutionaries issued an uncompromising condemnation of the invasion that prioritised solidarity with grassroots resistance over geopolitical convenience. Their position—supporting Ukrainian resistance and Russian anti-war movements whilst rejecting both Putin and NATO—offered a radical alternative to the campist logic that dominated leftist discourse across Latin America and in Spain. When Israel launched its assault on Gaza in October 2023, the Zapatistas applied the same ethical framework, condemning those who "justified Putin's invasion of Ukraine citing 'self-defense' but now invalidate that argument against Israel, and vice versa."”

Finanslovsaftalen og KV25: Stem mod den borgerlige regerings fortsatte underfinansiering af velfærdssystemet

2 mois 1 semaine ago
Finanslovsaftalen indeholder nogle små godbidder, der smager voldsomt af valgflæsk.

Brazil, COP30 and the extractivist paradox

2 mois 1 semaine ago

With each passing day, the evidence—not only scientific but also empirical, as seen in [the floods in] Valencia last year—confirms the ecological emergency. Not as a phenomenon of a grim future, but as a present reality. The UN Secretary-General himself, António Guterres, stated that 2024 was "a masterclass in climate destruction." This statement was part of his opening address at the COP29 global climate summit in Baku, exactly one year ago.

Palestinian COP30 coalition demands

2 mois 2 semaines ago

For nearly two years, Israel has waged a livestreamed genocide against Indigenous Palestinians in Gaza and across historic Palestine, devastating lives, land, and ecosystems. UN experts have described Israel's crimes as including domicide, urbicide, scholasticide, medicide, cultural genocide and ecocide. In September 2025, the UN Commission of Inquiry confirmed that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.
