Says the guy who handed the leadership over without a fight, and refused to break with a party openly seeking to do this until they booted him themselves... words are cheap, he'd still be a labour MP if they'd let him, despite this and the genocide.
Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS.
They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead.
For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

I never learn, still get disturbed when I see people who consider themselves sensible liberals casually suggest deporting 30% of people with outstanding asylum claims.
& think this position distinguishes them from fascists in a way that those opposing all deportations aren't!

"In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News' CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”."

BREAKING: PinkNews refuses to cover trans issues on the basis it jeopardises ad revenue and is "contentious".
While Transgender lives in the UK and US are at risk, PinkNews abandons its transgender readers.

I fucking hate paperwork. People horrified by "soviet bureaucracy" are clearly too rich to have to directly deal with all the bullshit the rest of us do.

Worrying that it can be difficult to get many socialists to accept the Workers' Party of Britain are fascist. When a group gets so relatively prominent and masks itself as socialist, communist, revolutionary etc. we have to push back publicly.

Now up to at least 18 people not including raids in Birmingham, people have been taken every day. Socialists must act.
So they've taken at least 9 people for Rwanda deportation over the 29th and 30th of April in Birmingham from the local immigration reporting centre, I don't know if there have been any raids separate to that. 1/4

What do you do when people are being murdered in front of you, but in a way that will be passed over without comment or even cheered in your society? When the only force raised will be to crush anyone who stands against that? What does a legal change that takes years even if possible amount to then?

This piece mentions the failure of the British left on trans solidarity, with institutionalised transphobia in many cases (SWP, CPGB-ML, WPB, YCL...) but calls out no groups or individuals by name. /1
At this moment of crisis, we should say clearly we mean to take everything from them, because everything is already ours.
Be Realistic – Demand the Impossible!
The trans* struggle has reached a crisis. Some will be tempted to temper our expectations and make more moderate demands. Rowan Fortune, NJ Catchpole and Twilight O’Hara explain why that is a quick ro...

I'm mentally ill and neurodivergant. I don't trust anyone who talks about "overmedication". It never comes from a place of care, it's always about placing us under tighter control and monitoring, about denying and belittling our conditions. /1

Make yourself a mine waiting for oppressors. If someone tries to destroy your life in a way you can't escape, e.g. evicting you, eye for an eye. Won't help you, but if enough acted the same it would help people like you. Maintains a bit of dignity too.

Elvanse shortage predicted to continue until April. That's 6 months since it started. How many of us will have our lives devastated? 60% increase in suicidal thoughts reported in those without meds. How many of us will die?

Not only is it unavailable, it's unavailable the month we were emphatically told all manufacturing issues would be resolved by! Not that I'm allowed meds anyway courtesy of our enlightened psychiatric professionals...
Aaaaand Elvanse is once again unavailable, meaning I will run out on the day of my grandfather's funeral. I'm too fucking tired to deal with this shit

'Infinity Pool' had some style, but seemed kinda pointless? A shit version of a mid-tier Ballard film. As my partner said from just the audio and a wiki entry, "some rich people torment another rich person". /1

Possessor was alright, weak opening third that struggles to make its premise convincing but hits its stride after. Emotional thrust didn't really land, but some good scenes. Seems to be massively overrated by critics for some reason? Does a family name really carry so much weight?

Alllll of this. Thanks to ADHD, ASD and a whole helping of trauma (both personal and generational) I don't always react in the accepted "normal" way. I AM STILL A HUMAN BEING THOUGH. Take the time to learn and you'll see that crazy is just a wild concept and hugely damaging
I am a crazy person. I am considered mentally ill. Even by people who like me. I had to reframe what that identity means in order to survive it. It helps a lot with recognising my humanity.
That means it's really depressing seeing how often mental illness is still used to dehumanise and dismiss.

I would ask everyone to share this statement. A huge amount of work went into wording it, supplying context, and accurately capturing this latest attack against trans children. It is one of the most atrocious from our government of bigots. It shames everyone associated, including the Labour Party.
