At @PlatformGlasgow with Keira Mclean and @JoeySimons8 chatting through our heritage project! The importance of researching, documenting and celebrating our own histories of resistance and survival feels more relevant than ever as Glasgow's working class history and diaspora..

Great afternoon finding out more about the housing activism archive and collective with a fantastic panel of speakers. One of the key take away as was people archiving their own stories and creating their own histories. Find out more here glasgowtenantsarchive.com

Palestinian poetry is not only poetry for times of crisis. It is poetry for all time. It is another form of injustice to approach it as an extension or symptom of tragedy or even worse as merely a token of sympathy and solidarity asymptotejournal.com/blog/20…

Berlin Police provoke Palestinians on the street then brutally attack them for no reason; systematic state violence with impunity, and full green light from the regime of Olaf Scholz @Bundeskanzler.

You're watching British cops move in to attack residents who've just shut down the ThalesUK arms factory in Glasgow. Protecting the forces of genocide. Attacking the community. We don't want these killers in our city. Solidarity with the people of Glasgow.

100 years ago today John Maclean died at his home in Glasgow. Prison and poverty -- two pillars of capitalism -- extinguished the greatest Scottish revolutionary of his day. His last months were spent fighting for safe housing, fair work, and anti-imperialist solidarity.
