Some disastrous numbers in this new IfG report. Less than half - half - of boys eligible for free school meals meet basic standards of early-years development.

Moudhy is a brilliant and remarkable scholar and author. This should be a great conversation. If you're in Oxford this evening, do come along.

There are many lessons about sustainability from the ancient world, as there are lessons from people today. We should listen. Tonight’s event at 6pm is at Wolfson College and anyone can attend www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-polycr...

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

Truly fed up of people saying that the way to prevent a huge drift to the far-right is to keep Labour in govt. Their migration polices ARE far-right populist and make way for worse. Trad politics are done. Lab/Tories are done. The next election will not be fought how we've experienced them to date.

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone. Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it. (2/2)

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long. Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays. (1/2)

Just a thought: How about we stop protecting the reputation of powerful, rich child rapists, and start bringing powerful, rich child rapists to justice?

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Allie Riley reposted

Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill. While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves. Priorities.

Yes. These silly people can't see that stealing asylum seekers' jewelry and deporting them years after they've been granted refugees status and settled here is a totally kind and loving thing to do.

Tinfoil hat nonsense. It's a response to Labour pursuing fascistic, racist policies as they futilely chase the Reform vote. This is an answer that is uncomfortable to the Starmerite cult, so it is literally unthinkable. It is very funny however to see how they invent conspiracies given previous.

Allie Riley reposted

This is true, a whole bunch of people are dedicated to promoting the message that Labour is courting fascists and racists. Some of the most prominent people doing this are Labour ministers.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection. We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election. We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future. And we won. This is YOUR city!

Suspect these Epstein emails cover far more issues than just the horrific crimes for which he & Maxwell were convicted. If the revelations thus far are potentially the least severe, well. Trump's behaviour certainly seems to suggest something seismic he doesn't want revealed.

Allie Riley reposted

As I have seen others comment elsewhere, trump’s one strength is that he is so horrifically corrupt, and surrounded by a sea of corruption so thick and deep, that even trying to just talk about how bad it all is ends up sounding like a crazed conspiracy rant. It’s like the anti Q-anon.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
