If you wonder what you can do for #Palestine, your time will come sooner than you are ready for. Dock #workers in #France, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to load military equipment destined for #Israel. A #genocide requires a lot of logistics/resources, so much so that all levels of society are involved. Be there and be counted when it creeps into your meetings, your procurement reviews, your accounting, orders, shifts, artistic opportunities...

🧡 Traditional costumes today divide opinion: some see them as a supposed idyll of the β€˜good old days’, others find them old-fashioned and reject them. During summer, we we take a look behind the scenes, scrutinise the history and marvel at the restoration of originals. As always more info in alt texts + thread!

How others treat corrupt politicians:

theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

Not that French politicians are champions of morality, but apparently they do care to see the law applied to their corrupt colleagues. Of course they've seen their king's head roll, and that may have played a role. And then there was May '68…

I would like to see the connections, if any, b/w the #French and the #US precursors to #Fascism, if any

Gravelines, #France
A French police officer enters the sea in an attempt to prevent migrants and asylum seekers from boarding small boats. Officers used teargas and pepper spray to try to disperse hundreds of people trying to board boats, but were overwhelmed by the numbers. A record 15,000 migrants have left northern France and arrived in the UK this year.
