The History of Connolly Books
The culture of 1930s Ireland were not receptive to socialist ideas. From the first Coercion Act (1930) under the Free State government of William Cosgrave's Cumann na nGaedheal to de Valera's @fiannafailparty, socialism was considered subversive.

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years.
That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East.
Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.

El señor Zelenski debería mirar bien estas imágenes… Es el líder de la Revolución cubana, Fidel Castro, recibiendo a miles de niños ucranianos que sufrieron exposición a radiación en el accidente de Chernobyl… fueron recibidos en Cuba y tratados integralmente durante más de 20 años sin ningún costo, como un deber humano con el pueblo soviético.
Ayer, Zelenski, en “agradecimiento” por aquel gesto, votó en la ONU a favor de que se mantenga el bloqueo cruel y genocida contra mi país… La miseria humana no tiene límites!

The newest Israeli parliamentarian says it is they (ISRAELIS) who are the Supreme Court and then threatens to "curse" the world.
These are maniacs.
With nuclear weapons.
You begin to see how they smile as they slaughter children....
Terrifying

Bolsonaro lost to Lula in Brazil, then fled to the US & got a visa. Same warm welcome for Cuban elites after 1959 & white South African farmers in 2025. Trump has made it explicit: the US is the refuge for racists worldwide & the global capital of white supremacy & the far right.
Connolly Books retweeted
China responds to Trump’s allegations of election fraud in Brazil:
You tried to influence the election.
Your side lost.
Now you call the result “rigged.”
We recognize the Brazilian people’s choice.
At this point, Washington is no longer being humiliated by others.
It is humiliating itself.
