X-Twitter is full of garbage: bots, scams, porn/prostitution, contrived, staged, misinformation, AI, boosted pro-Trump, racist, right-wing propaganda. Time to try BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/forevertore…

We do love a good manifesto.❤️
Our 2026 state election manifesto is at the printers now. The first chance you'll have to grab a copy is at our campaign launch, taking place on Sat 1st August, 4pm at the Aboriginal Advancement League in Thornbury. Tickets are selling fast - get yours today via the link below.
ALT VS's state election manifesto - "A Socialist Manifesto for real change" - with a red-and-black cover showing portraits of VS candidates, lying on a wooden table beside an open spread labeled "Key facts" showing charts and paragraphs about wealth inequality.

Wonderful to see VS candidate for South West Coast Hera Sheppard featured in the media. The usual suspects are whingeing about her being 'too young' but we'd rather run an 18 year old who wants to make society better than someone 'more experienced' who stands for the status quo.
ALT A screenshot of an article in the ABC. The headline reads 'School student Hera Sheppard runs for seat in Victorian election'. Below it is a photo of Hera wearing a Victorian Socialists t-shirt.

Let’s make this Victorian election a statement that us workers demand control of the results of our labour!
Enough with billionaires and bureaucrats growing fat off our labour and sacred Aboriginal land.

Even if you live in an electorate where a Greens (much less a Socialist) candidate stands any chance, this is the *strongest* way to send a message to Labor that they can't take left wing votes for granted and to arrest their rightward drift.

Left-leaning Victorians, please vote:
1. Socialist
2. Greens
3. Labor
Even if you’re a Labor voter who doesn’t fully agree with the first two parties, it’s clear that the Labor Party needs to be dragged left kicking and screaming in order to stop people turning to the far-right

Fight for Public Housing!! @vic_socialists @VicGreensWomens
The Victorian Labor Government plans to give the public land at 139 Highett Street to private developers to build mostly expensive, private units. gabrielledevietri.org.au/iss…

The Green Party: "(We support) the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital, equal rights for all, and the right of return for Palestinians and their descendants."
Racists: "That's racist".

VS candidate for Pascoe Vale Yasemin Shamsili was out this morning supporting striking Merri-Bek council workers - members of the ASU - fighting for a better deal than the real wage cut of 2.75% that's currently on the table. Solidarity with these legends! ✊ ❤️ 🙌

A few pics from the last month or so of campaigning. We've knocked on more than 160,000 doors so far and had tens of thousands of conversations with residents.

Great door-knock this weekend in West Heidelberg. Over 800 doors called on. 20+ new yard signs going up in the next couple of days.
I'm going to be busy.
Order your @vic_socialists yard sign or volunteer here:

If you seriously don't believe that "Zionism is racism", then how do you explain the hierarchical structures in the country - with European Jews on top, Arab Jews second, and Ethiopian Jews in third place?
How do you explain that the Israeli state refuses to even recognise the Jewishness of the Igbo Jews and Lemba Jews (who are black) or the Kaifeng Jews (who are Chinese)?
How do you explain what happened to the Arab Jews on their arrival - when they were sprayed with a toxic chemical, and then thrown into concentration camps, while European Jews were given the best housing - or how they were used as human shields; forced to occupy precarious villages on the country's periphery?
How do you justify Yemenite Children Affair - when babies were snatched from their Yemenite parents, and given to European families?
How do you explain all these quotes (this is a sample from my book, "The Zionists Who Hate Jews") - which shows that Israel's early leaders had a visceral hatred of the Arab Jews?
How can a country be responsible for so much race-based discrimination and hatred, and not be "racist"?

Can a concert be organised outside an arms factory or port shipping bombs to Israel? What do you say @macklemore ?
