The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments.
It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap.
It was wrong to slash disability benefits.
Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

There's an awful lot of morons on Twitter who seem to believe poor people getting the tiniest 'freebie' is the reason they have to pay more tax, and not the billionaires robbing them blind and not paying any.
Please don't tolerate or entertain such morons.

Israel has caved on Gaza.
It was trying to sabotage the ceasefire - so it could resume its genocidal frenzy.
The revival of genocidal violence is off - for now.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

There's a poisonous myth in the UK that needs to end.
When Margaret Thatcher privatised UK State Assets she did NOT sell them to the UK general public.
No she sold all the controlling shares at preferential rates to her billionaire mates
These people made almost all the profit

Palestinians are hostages, too.
There are more Palestinian hostages, and their conditions are much worse.
These are the facts erased by a racist Western media.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

1. Boycott every single fascist, never buy a single thing from them again.
2. Spread the boycott to all your friends it is the best passive thing you can do
3. Organize, protests, strikes, direct action is how Governments fall

The Labour MPs suspended over opposing child poverty are principled titans.
Those who suspended them, as the briefing here underlines, are nasty, soulless, mediocre little hacks.
The MPs should tell these clowns to go fuck themselves.
