In Bristol today we said:
No to racism.
No to anti-migrant hate.
No to anti-Muslim hate.
No to anti-Jewish hate.
No to any and every form of hate that's directed at people whether it's to do with where they come from, the god they worship, or the colour of their skin.

We stand up for one another.

The company is facing a lawsuit from three detainees who allege guards beat and sexually assaulted them, then covered it up.

Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

Hello @bsky.app folk. Things are challenging out there but is there any blue in your sky today? Any good thing you’d like to share? I can start: I am practicing #mediation skills and am inspired by the wonderful group of people I’m learning with.

Lets call it as it is..

MSM worked tirelessly to undermine Labour & Starmer since the Election ❌
They’ve been promoting Farage & Reform daily, Reform has just 6 MPs but BBC had them on multiple times over LibDems with 72 MPs❌
Tories scandal after scandal & got kid gloves❌

‘We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s'
- a headline out government should be ashamed off, but do they even care? A reminder - the 1850s was the period during and after the devastation of the Great Famine #spéirgorm www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
'We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s'
The issuing of 5,000 eviction notices in three months last year is quite revealing when viewed against Ireland's historical record

Take a lot to unravel outsourced contracts.Gov’t liable for huge costs if contracts are broken ‘unreasonably’ (in law). Yes, it’s skewed to favour profit; regulation can’t make up for bad commissioning; yes, there are ways to counteract bad contracting which politicians scared to use. Privatisation.

The Epstein Files contain everything women have known and told you about men since the dawn of civilisation.

But yeah. Carry on pretending that systemic misogyny can be fixed by releasing the files.
