Your Nobel prize winner doesn't care about the people in her country. She's telling you to your face she's will sell them out to the ruling class.
Believe these demons because they tell the truth. However, ugly it may be.
You can practically see the hunger for money and power in her eyes.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

BCS was an amazing show but I dislike how uncritically it was accepted that Howard was such a tragic and undeserving victim.
He did as much damage to Kim as she tried to do to him, the only difference is he could do it effortlessly.

Forgiveness and understanding are a commodity like anything else and under the current system the rich and powerful will channel them in ways that benefit them most.
the nuzzi profile in nyt feels like… a betrayal to political reporters who do deep & serious investigative work *without* hiding their love affairs with the candidates they were trusted to report on…

The reason I bring this up is ICE was forcibly sterilizing women during Trump's first term. We new this. And then Biden took office.
Biden gave ICE $3.4 billion to expand detention efforts in 2024.

Maybe it's comparing apples with oranges but it does feel a bit odd to me to see people who endlessly moan about how randos on Bluesky don't get their jokes earnestly telling everyone you just have to accept you can't oppose fascism too harshly.

It is essential to remember that all the liberal pundits who're *now* condemning this have spent years gleefully endorsing the idea that the mildest social democracy and anti-bigotry is monstrous antisemitism.
And that they'd choose this path every time.

Family cannot be the basis of an equitable society.
If you love your family that's great and it shouldn't be taken away from you.
But for everyone to have a chance to flourish an external, democratic system of support has to exist, supporting people cradle to grave.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I never have and never will feel any sympathy for Megyn Kelly or any of the other women abused at Fox News.
They gleefully worked at the fascism factory, revelling in sadism but then expect everyone to be sympathetic when a bit of fascism splashed on them.

Comfortables will whine and screech that the left won't prop up Labour all while the Labour leadership makes explicitly clear they don't want anything to do with us.
So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

The various civil rights movements aimed to universalise privilege. That the respect you had to treat the powerful with was extended to everyone.
What reactionaries are seeking to do now is to roll back that privilege to just themselves using the language of civil rights.

It's insane that we live in a system that encourages these greedy, evil sods to extract, horde and hide wealth whilst so many struggle.
Even more insane when it's the people who say "we should distribute this wealth" who are considered to be extremeists.
