At the heart of everyone’s anger about health insurance is a holy belief that we all deserve access to life—and that no one should be able to deny us life based on whether or not we are useful in producing enough value for the capitalist class. Our right to life is divine.

Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books

Feels like the media narrative post budget has now entirely focused on farmers.
Meanwhile the two child benefit cap currently affects nearly 2 million children.
Child poverty isn’t just a statistic – it’s a crisis. A crisis made from political choices. A crisis of clothing, heat and food.

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
