I know Liberals mean well when they say to me, "G33k, you and I want the same thing. A fair and equal #society." But I do get annoyed by that. Quite a bit.
Because I am for a #fair and #equitable society. Hence why I am an #AnarchoSyndicalist and a #AnarchoCommunist. And a fair and equitable society is one without #Capitalism. Which Liberals are not on board with because they still want to be a "small #business owner."
According to The Sunday Times' 2025 rankings, Saffron Walden in Essex is currently the best place to live in England[^1]. This historic market town of around 16,000 people combines rural charm with excellent amenities, including a bustling high street, top-rated schools, and convenient access to Cambridge just 15 miles away[^2].
The town has transformed from its former reputation of being "old-fashioned and stuffy" into a vibrant community with fresh ideas, independent shops, and an emerging food scene "defying the Essex stereotypes"[^1]. Local resident India Burrett describes summers there as "like being in the south of France with everyone milling around"[^2].
While housing costs average £607,100, the town offers strong transport links to London (43 miles away) and a rich heritage dating back to 1141 when its market first began trading[^2]. The area features extensive green spaces and maintains a strong sense of community, with resident Henry Rowe noting that despite having lived in Perth, Australia, he "will always return to Saffron Walden"[^2].

It's too hot outside and inside ! My freckles are starting to join up all over my body and a nice ice cold G&T didn't help either. So we've decided to go for another walk down to the harbour in the village which was heaving with tourists earlier and probably still is. On a plus note this tan accelerating factor 30 sun oil is working a treat. 🔥😍🌞
🇺🇸 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will meet on Tuesday in Washington with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Mauro Vieira discusses whether BRICS is anti-West and whether global governance must change to reflect today’s realities.
In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira discusses Brazil’s role in the expanding BRICS bloc and whether the group is positioning itself as a challenge to Western dominance.
Speaking from Rio de Janeiro after the BRICS summit, Vieira explains President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s call for a global trade currency, critiques the current state of the United Nations, and explains what Brazil envisions for a more balanced multipolar world. With absent leaders, rising tensions, and growing ambitions, is BRICS reshaping global power, or just talking about it?
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the New Development Bank (Banco do Brics) on July 4, 2025, where he criticized the United Nations (UN) as "insignificant" for its inability to prevent what he described as a "genocide" in Gaza and its failure to create a Palestinian state.

Resistance in Gaza: Command Post Struck, Tanks Destroyed
At least five Zionist soldiers were wounded in three separate incidents in the Gaza Strip, occupation newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Saturday. A “security incident” in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, also prompted an emergency aerial evacuation of wounded personnel.
The Palestinian Resistance launched a series of coordinated attacks against Zionist occupation forces across the Gaza Strip, delivering yet another blow to the military amid the ongoing genocidal war.
Al-Qassam targets C2 position, snipes soldier
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters targeted a Zionist command-and-control post east of al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City with heavy mortar fire. In a separate operation in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, a Resistance sniper struck a Zionist soldier with a fatal shot.
Al-Quds Brigades targets forces across Gaza
Simultaneously, al-Quds Brigades—the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)—confirmed multiple successful operations targeting armored vehicles. The group detonated a pre-planted anti-tank explosive device east of al-Tuffah, destroying a Merkava tank during its incursion.
Another explosive device was used to destroy a tank east of al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Fighters returning from the operation reported direct hits and confirmed the tank was neutralized.
Earlier in the day, al-Quds Brigades said its fighters struck a military vehicle along the Kissufim supply route northeast of Khan Younis using a pre-planted improvised explosive device (IED). Additionally, a barrel-shaped explosive device destroyed another military vehicle in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Younis.
Occupation troops were also targeted with mortar fire on Jabal al-Sawrani, east of al-Tuffah, where occupation forces have been massing in recent days.

Kenyan Communist Revolutionary, Julia Njoki, Murdered in Police Custody
Communist revolutionay Julia Njoki was murdered by police in a cell in the Nanyuki police station, a city in central Kenya. Julia Njoki was kept in detention because she was unable to pay the deposit of 50,000 shillings decided by a Kenyan court. She died following multiple head injuries.
Her death comes in the context of a huge uprising against the right wing government.
The death toll from the uprising in Kenya has surged to over 30 people,with at least 107 others wounded during the nationwide marches.
The marches saw clashes erupt between protesters and police in the capital, Nairobi, as well as the city of Eldoret, with the KNCHR accusing the police of cooperating with armed gangs, who were armed with machetes and spears, in the wake of the violence.
There was widespread destruction of property in the uprising as the privatization of the country drives poverty and resistance.
The Trump administration is attacking academia because it threatens existing power structures and dominant elites. This is seen most clearly when it comes to Palestine.
Η κατάπαυση του πυρός στην #Γάζα είναι προϋπόθεση για την αναγνώριση της Παλαιστίνης ως κράτους, υπαινίχθηκε ο Μακρόν. Δλδ, για να το κάνουμε δίφραγκα, όσο το Ισραήλ σφαγιάζει τους φουκαράδες τους Παλαιστίνιους, ο Μακρόν δεν θα αναγνωρίσει την Παλαιστίνη ως κράτος. Και ύστερα κοροϊδεύετε το ζαβό.
το τέλος γενικότερα παρακολουθούμε των πάντων Δύσης και Ανατολής, αναπτυγμένων και υπανάπτυκτων κλπ. Μόνο οι χρόνοι θα έχουν μια διακύμανση με την έννοια οτι κάποιοι θα προσπαθήσουν να καθυστερήσουν το αναπόφευκτο αλλά αμφίβολο αν θα το καταφέρουν. Εγώ νιώθω οτι κάνω καταγραφή του τέλους την ανθρωπότητας, τουλάχιστον όπως την ξέρουμε...κάτι σαν τους τελευταίους δεινόσαυρους πριν την εξάλειψη
Macron is now indicating that a ceasefire in Gaza is a precondition for France to recognise the State of Palestine. What a gift to Netanyahu! All he needs do, to prevent the recognition of Palestine is ensure that there is no ceasefire in Gaza!
Hospital sources told Al Jazeera that Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 85 people since dawn, including 46 in Gaza City alone.
Meanwhile, Al-Shifa Hospital Director Muhammad Abu Salmiya warned that Gaza’s hospitals could shut down by tomorrow without fuel. He accused the Israeli army of restricting fuel deliveries “up to the point of death,” saying medical teams are stretched thin and supplies are running critically low.
People are absolute about their privacy. But none of those types will ever factor in that if the law is supposed to work, there needs to be an accurate record of interactions. The cops can't just write in a report, "Talked to a guy."
Just like the #Nazis tried to #erase #Jews from #Germany's #History, #Trump's attempt to erase #America's #LGBTQ+ population will not be successful. He can take down as many websites as he wants and erase as many #references to LGBTQ+ history and #culture that he wants but he will not be successful. ---

PKK Burns Weapons in Bid for Integration Into Reactionary States
Following a call from PKK leader, Abdullah Öcalan, to lay down its arms, the PKK held a disarmament ceremony in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) on July 11th.
Besê Hozat, co-chair of the KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Executive Council, led the group of 15 male and 15 female guerrillas who burned their weapons and belts.
Speaking at the historic ceremony, Besê Hozat said: “We are taking this step in response to Leader Apo’s call, the February 27 call, and the decisions of the PKK’s 12th Congress.”
Kurdish militants want to return to Turkey and enter mainstream politics, one of the PKK’s joint leaders told AFP on Friday after the group’s fighters began destroying their arms at the ceremony.
Speaking to AFP after handing in her own weapon alongside 29 of her comrades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party’s top female commander Bese Hozat said if Turkey were willing, the disarmament process could be completed very quickly.
But the 47-year-old militant also warned the fragile peace process risked being derailed if Ankara fails to free the PKK’s jailed founder Abdullah Ocalan, also known as ‘Apo’ — Kurdish for ‘uncle’.
“If Apo were freed tomorrow and… Turkey made legal and constitutional arrangements the next day, within a week we could return to engage” in bourgeois state politics, she said of a process which Ankara expects to last for months.
Hozat said it was essential Turkey put in place mechanisms to allow them to return without fear of prosecution or reprisal.
“We do not want to wage armed struggle against Turkey, we want to come to Turkey and do democratic politics. In order for us… to achieve democratic integration with Turkey, it is imperative we can freely travel to Turkey,” she said.
“If Turkey takes concrete steps, enacts laws and implements radical legal reforms… we will go to Turkey and engage in politics. If (not)… we will end up either in prison or being killed.”
Asked whether she now expected Turkey and its Western allies to remove the PKK from their blacklists of terrorist organisations, Hozat said the issue was irrelevant.
“Right now, the PKK no longer exists, we’ve dissolved it. We are a freedom movement.. advocating for peace and a democratic society.
“The PKK has achieved its main goal: the existence of the Kurds has been recognised.”
The PKK dissolution represents a severe turning point for internationalist politics, as the organization that permitted revolutionary collusion in the region speed walks its way into collaborationist politics.
Democratic integration into Turkish politics is essentially an oxymoron as class politics and reactionary parties dominate the state.
Furthermore, the PKK’s posture in Syria has also drifted into collaboration as the new regime continues its massacres and clearly settles into a riole as a gendarme for US and Zionist imperial schemes. The PKK’s attempt to join this regime is damning, even if minor concessions are wrangled out in the negotations.

I discovered an anti-corpo lifehack and tbh I think its a pretty great one!
So you know those annoying "sign up for our free trial" sites that basically "forget" to notify you that you need to cancel and try to get you for like 10,000 years of subscriptions?
I found a way to counter.
I use a lot of cash purchased "nonreloadable" credit cards bc I'm trying to counterpunch with privacy, okay? Last night I was signing up for a free trial of a thing and I didn't have a disposable card avail that would cover the "post trial" cost.
So... I used one of the many leftover cards I have with like, less than five dollars on them for a "two hundred after trial" thing.
Aaaaaaand it worked.
So basically: - I used a throwaway email - I used a 'paid in cash' card to secure my trial - There's literally no way they can really charge me unless I decide I want to continue.
Obv this only works if they take gift card style credit cards (the ones I use only work for US based payment processing annoyingly) and you need to be able to like, GET one but yeah.
