A concrete understanding of the conditions of the working class is more imperative than ever, and the history of the Merthyr Rising emphasises the importance of a truly organised and politically guided working class to challenge Capital.

Plaid Gomiwnyddol Cymru would like to state our unending solidarity with the SOAS 2.

Lawfare used against those protesting the Zionist genocide is just another front in the global war on Palestine.

We would urge you all to sign this open letter.

William Windsor & Kate Middleton are coming to Pontypridd to visit the victims of the recent floods, conveniently they’re not visiting any actually flooded street or business.

Give them the welcome they deserve.

Modern eugenics often takes the form of social murder. Disabled people are simply left to die, whether by pandemic or firestorm.
Altadena family says disabled father and son were left to burn: ‘Nobody was coming’

The last thing Anthony Mitchell Sr. (a wheelchair user) told his eldest son (who had cerebral palsy) was that he was still waiting for an ambulance as the swiftly moving Eaton fire bore down on his Altadena home.

Yesterday the zionists bombed my old neighborhood in Beirut. I used to live in this neighborhood, took walks around this neighborhood, went to university in this neighborhood.

Hamra is such a bustling part of Beirut, I can’t believe they bombed it…

frustrating thing about following a lot of those starter packs is now I'm following a bunch of ""leftists"" (awful label to use anyway) that call themselves ""socialists"" (I.E most milquetoast social democrats possible) - idk what I expected but time to puuuuurge

Lol now someone has uploaded 20,000,000 posts.

There's still no way to request deletion from the Hugging Face datasets. Hell I even have my "logged out visibility" setting checked on here, which is the only way to indicate a preference.

This is not ok. Maybe time to get @safety.bsky.app involved?

NEW: Tens of thousands of pensioners are expected to be driven into poverty by cuts to winter fuel payments, according to forecasts by DWP published today

Assisted dying is understandably so an incredibly contentious issue - but all I can think about here is the increasing prevalence of chronic illness and debilitating long term sickness caused by COVID. The DWP is obviously looking to cut costs - and I can't shake the feeling of grim calculus at play
