Fuck imperialism. If you are motivated by love for humanity and belief in a better future, if you have a spark of revolutionary spirit, we will probably get on.

I am not convinced that access to direct messages on this silly app is worth those finger swivellers at Bluesky having access to any of my official id. Not today anyway.

Well, this seems like a massive fucking problem, when you can be in breach of proscription by simply wanting a Free Palestine, which I explicitly also want.

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".

And so it begins.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

As well as nodding along about how Trump likes a fellow rapist (Conor McGregor) Michael Martin sat quietly while Trump went on a racist and idiotic rant about migrants, and Michael Martin himself mischaracterised the genocide and illegal occupation in Gaza as 'people who hate each other'

Leavitt says they’ve begun flying deportees to Guantanamo Bay.

This is functionally disappearing human beings.

There is no consular access to Guantanamo, making it nearly impossible for those held there to be represented by their governments.

There is virtually no media access, either.
Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay
Press secretary says at least two deportation flights to Cuban base of undocumented immigrants ‘under way’

On offence.
As with the evils of the PC Brigade before it, the foundational idea of the anti-woke crusade is that of a tyranny of offence, one wielded by vulnerable communities, charities and human rights organisations. It is they — the easily offended, and not governments, corporations, or the world’s richest men — who hold the real power in public life, and their chilling effect on all our freedoms must be stopped. It gives such people too much credit to even parse their argument, but it should be said plainly: Wokeness, like political correctness, is little more than a pejorative term to describe standardised decency, and the small, sometimes clumsy, measures taken to achieve mutual respect and esteem in a heterogenous world. To be more aware of, and respectful toward other people’s experiences, and to agitate for a more just society in which everyone shares the same social, political, and rhetorical freedoms as anyone else. To traduce that impulse toward fairness and inclusion as little more than “being offended” demeans us all. It is also the most basic and obvious fact about this entire debate that those who rage against “offence” are the most offended people in human history. The are offended by everything: black actors in Star Wars, female characters in Ghostbusters, black or female Doctors in Doctor Who (and quite possibly black or female doctors, full stop), climate activists, historians who acknowledge that slavery happened, commentators who acknowledge that a genocide is happening, low emission zones, recycling initiatives, rude jokes on Have I Got News For You, mildly liberal pronouncements from Gary Lineker on social media, mixed-raced couples in Christmas ads and trans people literally anywhere.

Trump will be inaugurated tomorrow.

Just a quick reminder that in Ireland - Michael Lowry negotiated a deal with the govt, Verona Murphy is the new Ceann Comhairle, Noel Grealish will sit at cabinet & Michael Healy-Rae will be a junior minister.

Just in case you think it couldn’t happen here…
