'The same gluttonous feast, again at the Kremlin, in gilded surroundings once tsarist but now communist!...I harangued the delegates who were gorging themselves, telling them how hateful it was that workers' delegates should be stuffing their faces when Russian workers were perishing of hunger.'

electoralism and political parties are a sham and a waste of time (and I know cos I wasted 7 fucking years in the labour party) but there’s always an Ⓐlternative just saying
#OtD 2 Sep 2005 after hurricane Katrina, New Orleans police shot in the back and killed Henry Glover, an unarmed African-American. Police physically attacked people trying to help Glover. Another officer drove Glover away, then set the car on fire stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9239...
"Nepal is demanding climate compensation from the world's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases after deadly floods in the country killed more than 1100 people." Interesting, and entirely justified. We can expect this to become a lot more common.

"The U.S. was gripped by a reign of racial terror after World War I, when whites rose up to quash prosperous Black communities."
Remembering ‘Red Summer,’ when white mobs massacred Blacks from Tulsa to D.C.

this fucking monster needs a short drop.
The colonial envoy of the so-called “Board of Peace” Tony Blair allegedly asked President Abu Mazen of the Palestinian Authority to remove the word “Palestine” from textbooks in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank and replace it with “Samaria”. Abbas said no.
Did they shut down the neonatal unit and conduct an “independent review” without a timeframe or a roadmap when Lucy Letby was killing babies? If not, what warranted the drastic measure suspending Wales's gender-affirming surgery referral service?
Who are the extremists in British politics, who is promoting violence? Is it the thousands of handcuffed hippy protest grandmas.
When there are multiple stories about data centers simply building gas turbines without permits, PROVING they can’t be trusted, you’d be a fool to trust them. This is not paranoia, it’s pragmatism.
I'll add some nuance here — most local pushback against data centers is actually quite fluent, and not grounded in the more wild-eyed rhetoric you see on social media. Very often, the core premise is a simple, correct one: you can't trust what Big Tech says in its promises to a local community.
I don't want to hear Tony Blair's name, unless it's followed by the words "in the Hague" I'm wondering when is he going to the Hague, why isn't he in the Hague, why aren't you putting him in the Hague right now, and so on and so forth.
You show me a picture of a gender critical man, and a picture of a man you cover your drink around. Me: It's the same picture.

In keeping with fascist tradition of attacking modern art as “degenerate,” the Trump administration is removing the “Blue” sculpture from the grounds of the Kennedy Center.

The towering artwork, added to the campus in 2019, was targeted for elimination after President Trump’s takeover of the center.

In England, it is illegal for the public to use glue traps, but it isn't illegal to supply or sell them. The law makes absolutely no sense! News reports show that every bird species in this picture has been caught in a glue trap, and there are no doubt many more.

If the residents of Holborn and St. Pancras needed any confirmation just how little both their MP or their CLP cared about them, we now have immediate confirmation that you were just one big stepping stone for Keir Starmer's career and ego
it's just so on the nose that Starmer got into the job by lying to everyone, appointed the Least Suspicious Woman In the History of British Politics and Ginger Dominic Cummings to his staff, blew up the labour party with utter ineptitude, then swans off mid term because he can't be bothered any more
I think there's still a bunch of liberal Brit trans activists who cut their teeth in the 90s and 2000s who like to nostalgically think radicalisation of the trans liberation movement is why we are in this situation right now who forget that some of their work is directly, literally what got us here.
That line about "for example" being unable to breastfeed really ties everything together. God forbid people with breasts did whatever the fuck they want with them! Anyway here's Sion Jewell's top surgery crowdfunding: www.gofundme.com/f/support-si...
