I’m very sad to say this, but one of the @PopularFront_ community has been killed fighting in Ukraine. Cooper ‘Harris’ Andrews, 26, was a long time PF supporter and part of our Discord. He was a former US Marine and lifelong leftist organiser. He was killed in Bakhmut.

It would’ve been so much easier for Greta to choose only “popular” struggles to talk about—ones the UN and its various bursaries deem “acceptable”. Instead she’s forged her own path and recognises tyranny when there’s tyranny, not just when it’s convenient. Big respect to her.

We are completely against Israeli occupation and the countless war crimes carried out by Israeli forces, but we will not be brow beaten into acting like a massacre on civilians is chill. This is the first and last I’ll say on this. Save your breath.
Massacres are always bad. We will not be drawn into “but what about” talk, especially not from people who’re safe and have no frontline experience. Do not expect us to engage in political arguments with you. We will present information as it is. If you don’t like that, fuck off.
