While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Ever get the feeling you've been had?
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.

Always amazed that our rescue animals just calm down on hearing our talented singer Kirsty Clinch sings a lullaby. Music therapy with Kirsty & our animals is the best. We will all sleep well tonight @kirstyclinch.bsky.social

Thinking about who the local LP may select now NEC has blocked Burnham, I think this is entirely possible.
Electoral Calculus has Greens gaining Gorton and Denton from Labour.
If this transpires to be the case, it will be the first and biggest by-election th Greens would win.
Earthquake incoming? 👀

Can we just get past the idea that "gender critical" people are in any way in favour of womens' rights? When you lie down with fascists, you, erm, end up a fascist.
according to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, streeting and so on — who are totally on the right side of history — graham linehan is a kindly liberal and women's right activist who has been cruelly cancelled by the powerful trans lobby

Putting aside the tedium of internal Labour shenanigans, it will be interesting to see the candidate put forward by @greenparty.org.uk in the Gorton & Denton by-election. 👀

Awesome, you can start with why the Post Office Scandal, the Blood Scandal, WASPI women, Windrush victims, and umpteen tribunal victims are still waiting for their legally awarded pay-outs from the government.

The way the American government just lies to its citizens is insane. You could be at home sleeping and 5 masked thugs break into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep, and high ranking officials will go on TV and declare you're a terrorist and they acted in self defense

go to settings
go to content and media
make sure "autoplay videos and gifs" is toggled off

As impressive as the images coming out of Minneapolis today are, a friend there just told me they don't do it justice - "the whole city was at a full standstill."
