those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day

neo-liberalism doesn't fight fascism it enables it.
This is just a classic "neoliberalism is anything I don't like."

I mean, neoliberalism is bad. But it's on a whole different axis from "fight fascists or not."

At the height of the deadly heatwave in 2022, these six medical professionals carefully broke the windows at the European HQ of JP Morgan - the world's largest funder of fossil fuels

Today a jury of their peers found them Not Guilty

Their actions in trying to save lives were justified. Heroes!
🚨BREAKING NEWS!

Medics that broke windows at JP Morgan HQ to expose fossil fuel financing links to climate devastation found NOT GUILTY today by jurors.

The climate crisis is a health crisis and health professionals have a duty to act when lives are at risk.

If you are able to get to Gorton and Denton on polling day - take your phone and play this to anyone who thinks Reform are on their side. Then tell them who really is.

They need 2,000 people on the day. You could be part of history.

I am pleased the Government has done another u turn.

Attempting to cancel elections, on top of scrapping jury trials, mandatory ID cards, criminalising peaceful protest and harassment of journalists is part of a disturbing authoritarian trend of this caretaker Prime Minister.

There are three issues in @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s piece

1. Exposing how transphobic this Labour “government” is.

2. Showing his support for trans people when we need it.

3. Exposing the Starmer regime’s dishonesty; how they pretend to be constrained by the Supreme Court when they are not.

Yeah where are as that again?
Fresh from talking about thousands arrested for holding up signs, Phillips questions the idea we are on the way to authoritarianism & he lists places where repression/violence takes place

He does refer to Saudi Arabia murdering a journalist. But guess where he doesn't mention?

Reform just said their quiet part out loud. They are not the party of the people, they are the party of the rich who use your anger to gain their power.
Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Multi-millionaire Zia Yusuf claims there are only very, very small pockets of poverty in this country.

That'll be news to the huge numbers of people who can't pay their bills and are struggling to feed their kids.

Reform are out of touch.

UNRWA’s compound in occupied East Jerusalem—a UN premises—has been seized and demolished by Israeli authorities, while water and electricity to its schools and health centres were cut. This escalation tightens control over the occupied West Bank. UNRWA services must be restored.🤬🤬🤬
