What happened to socialists in the Labour Party? This Tory PM is driving more people towards death, while trying to legalise euthanasia just for us. We will unite and fight this, we need our allies to help.

Within the media, violence is only permitted top down. They allow advertisements for the military, pro-genocide propaganda, and glorifying corporations that poison or destroy our air, water, bodies, etc. Police brutality and economic, environmental, and state violence are positioned as legitimate.

I wish for a world where assisted death isn't controversial, where we don't fear being inadvertently killed off because at every level society acts against the disabled and ill. It's harder to accept assisted death when there's little done to assist people in life.
