The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

The DWP has published figs showing the overall cost to the economy of all disabled people who cannot work.
This is absolutely chilling and pushes the "burden on the state" narrative we have been dreading.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Two years ago today I was in Ukraine for the first anniversary of the Russian invasion. I was in Kyiv researching remarkable stories of how people were resisting through music. I ended up opening my book Rebel Sounds in a bomb shelter. To see how Trump has betrayed these brave people makes me rage.

Still not sure what to post on here. I’m not used to having a character limit! I talk very little IRL and usually like to make up for it by being excessively verbal on social media… guess I need to learn to be more concise. It’s cool, I’ve totally got this… 😬

Even considering the misapprehension anarchism gets thanks to the predeliction for media types to drag out the label for all and any lawlessness going, it's weird to be on the same level as Communism. It's not like we have any Holodomors, Red Terrors or Cambodian Genocides to out name, after all.
A poll that mostly measures positive associations of terms.
What would be much more interesting is to see what people understand these terms to mean.

Let’s remember Human Rights are universal & non- negotiable.
If we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want
