A better world has never felt more possible or tangible to me, watching people continue to fight for Palestine and for their neighbours and for an end to state mandated violence abroad and at home.
And yet! Some folks still want to destroy that, because god forbid they are wrong!

I would underline here that the way the 2019 election was presented to the public as a free hit of no consequence where everyone could please themselves, but the 2024 one was presented as an urgent decision point, was professional malice. It deliberately fucked every man, woman and child in Britain.
I’m asserting that 2019 provided A Choice in a way that 2024 did not *at all* present A Choice, and yet the former was presented to the public as no biggie, they should just tick whatever box, and the latter was said to be do or die.
