Never voted Tory. Hate what the right wing (including the press!) have done to this country.
Proud to be woke!
Would like to see a fairer, kinder world!

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it.
That’s not “immigration enforcement.”
This government is out here punishing witnesses.
Fascism is HERE.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
We must never forget the struggle that many in our society still face for acceptance, and continue to push for equality and rights for all.

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

Despite continued membership in the ECHR, the Labour government has successfully deported over 24,000 individuals. This directly disproves the Badenoch's claim that the ECHR prevented deportations - yet another example of Tories' blatant shystering. #ukpolitics

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

The world needs to move on from the cult of celebrity. Live your best lives and not vicariously through the prism of someone’s PR team.
Katy Perry went to space, cried "feminism" while NASA's forced to remove women's achievements from their history, caused an enormous amount of environmental damage, & contributed NOTHING to art or culture while she was up there. She released a set list for a tour that can't even give away tickets.
