Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.

Labour have no intention in every challenging the far right - which is why they'll be next to follow unless we stand up to them.
How low can Polanski go? Weaponising the killing of the mother of a 6 year old girl, that’s how low.

Leadership clearly isn’t a Green Party strong point.
Trump started it.

Reform and Tories are at it too.

And Labour already heading in that direction.

All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

They Kidnapped Maduro Because The World Is Ruled By Unaccountable Tyrants

Trump is spelling out the truth of what he is and what the US empire is, and anyone with open eyes can see it plain as day.

With limited resources, Palestinians in Gaza and in exile are funding community reconstruction efforts amid the absence of international aid. “We have to keep trying to help Gaza rise again,” an organizer with the Sameer Project tells Mondoweiss.

seriously though, people don't estrange to be trendy. it's usually after repeated abusive shit that you can't put up with anymore and usually after LOTS of chances and talks and hope that things will change and they don't. sometimes family is malicious and it's fine to walk away. normalise it!

estranging is the best thing i ever did for my kid, myself and my health

i have a feeling she's writing this because she knows her kid is going to disown her eventually due to her being an insufferable asshole
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing.

people forget how vulnerable pregnancy can make you feel. pregnancy and post partum is the most vulnerable i've felt since my dad passed away. it's so easy to be taken in by this stuff when you're in that state of mind
Also I agree with this - don’t know how you can listen to these stories and go “lol serves you right” or wherever, it’s heartbreaking! I feel irritated at some of these women for being so daft at times, but much more sympathy bsky.app/profile/anni...
Never a great idea to tell people what rattles you online but I hate how every time I post about the many horrors related to freebirthing I get some bright spark saying something about "Darwin awards". Wow you really owned all those dead newborns! Genuinely disgusts me, we are not on the same team

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the situation is in the UK. There are eight people on hunger strike and David Lammy recently claimed he wasn’t even aware of it. That hunger strikers may actually die is barely even news.

Israel is still throttling the aid supply to Gaza. And Britain is still supplying Israel with arms and maintaining normal diplomatic relations. The genocide continues, as does British complicity. 26 months and counting.

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

Harman explaining that actually, horrible migrant crackdowns are left wing politics and if you - a white person - don’t like it, then you are actively harming people from ethnic minorities. An outrageous insult to the public’s intelligence IMO, offhandedly dropping a dog turd onto your dinner plate.
