This is rather cool. Shared with me by Gil Cividanes who writes "The photo taken in front of a [Francoist] Spanish grocery on West 14th Street, NYC in about 1937. The girl on left is my aunt Zazi aged 18-19, the woman to her right is my grandmother's friend Doña Francisca." Don't buy fascist goods.

Barcelona metro stopped for a minute today in respect to the family of Maricarmen Abascal who, as the screen explained, died this week aged 87 after being evicted from her Madrid home - where she'd lived since 1956-, sparking the wave of housing protests across Spain.

Even as Jeremy Clarkson's farm is destroyed by Climate Change he is still denying it, because he is a Right Wing moron.
Look on the bright side Jeremy if your farm is worthless the Inheritance Tax won't be very much.

We are just Germany in the 1930s instead of blaming Jews we are blaming migrants.
But they aren't responsible for Austerity, Brexit or the profiteering crisis.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story.
It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war.
These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

I can cast an invisibility spell on Nigel Farage.
It's easy.
Just say,
"Tell is about the £5m bung, Nige"
and watch him vanish.

This is one movie I’ll be first in line to see. Sean Penn has reportedly written and will direct a January 6 film inspired by Michael Fanone’s story, and the rumor is Bradley Cooper may star. None of the casting is confirmed yet, but if this comes together, count me in.

We've had a week of politicians saying that what Israel is doing is illegal, wrong, it must stop
But as usual there has been absolutely no action
It took them just 4 days to take action against Russia
