I think about: trans liberation, science fiction, my cats, feminism, weird dreams, the trees, safe routes for migrants, socialist futures, Freud, growing a garden, becoming a better writer, eating more plants, decolonising the university, a free Palestine,
This! this this this!!!!
I posted a @zoebread.bsky.social video yesterday to underline the rot of the Labour party control of Manchester yesterday and I'm posting another today. Fuck Andy Burnham, and Labour collectively.

I'll also add, if you can't protest for whatever reason, replying to people on the ground at protest sharing content with alt-text and captions can be a good way to participate.

I'm very pro team alt-text, but also have sympathy for how hard it can be to type in the cold for people on the streets.
Once again, I ask you that if you are sharing images in your post, particularly those involving news & activism, you include alt text so that your message is accessible to everyone. Disabled people are among the targets of this administration & there is no inclusivity without including them.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

yes.
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.
NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

When between being pepper sprayed, punched, and pistol whipped was he supposed to calmly provide them with a copy of his concealed carry permit?
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

Signal boost this PLEASE
shouting for the journalists in the back: IT’S NOT AN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN.

It’s a federal occupation of a city that didnt vote the right way. And the occupying force is there to enforce civil infractions, misdemeanors.

WE HAVE MOUNTAINS OF ICE TO MELT
And Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood is named for Wendell Phillips, a fervent abolitionist. He was once asked why he couldn't turn down the heat in his rhetoric: why are do you always have to be so firery? Phillips' reply: "Yes, I'm on fire--becuase I have mountains of ice to melt!"

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".

Ladies, it was a breakthrough.

I should have done this years ago.
