Isn’t the USA’s eagerness to vote into the White House a man the courts already identified as guilty of rape just another mark of the profound misogyny of American society? Whether or not Trump ever faces consequences for his sexual crimes, the misogyny will remain. In spades. #LineDanceTaliban

Lula’s victory in Brasil and the Student List’s win in Serbia show that the slide into rightwing authoritarianism isn’t inevitable. Whether over two years or three weeks, progressive majorities have been roused to defeat the far right through the hard work of organising.

“Nearly half of peers were privately educated, compared with just 7% of the wider population. Around one third went to Oxford or Cambridge, compared with just 1% nationally. And 11% attended some of Britain’s most elite schools, where annual fees can now top £60,000.” To him who hath is given

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

That’s the common theme in what I’m writing I think. White mid-upper class academic men are allowed to have flaws, allowed to do (actually terrible) things, and have them forgiven/forgotten. But for w-class men (Bill Varley), women (Maud Cunnington), MOC (Arday) one mistake or flaw is unforgivable.

This story went up late on Friday and got less attention than it otherwise might have done. A sentencing hearing on Friday was told three participants in the Tory election-betting scandal - dismissed at the time as "a flutter" - would have made nearly £50,000 if undetected www.ft.com/content/510e...

Just watched this 👇🏻 Old Labour was as corrupt as New Labour, & just as hard hearted George Thomas was particular odious, patronising & snobby The way they treated a grieving broken community, who’d suffered unimaginably, was monstrous Including robbing them of £150,000 & giving it to the NCB.

I agree. Objecting to 'DEI' isn't pedantry. It's objecting to a UK university staging an event that is using far-right US rhetoric to denigrate UK universities.

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

Time to put this into a wider context. Schools and exam boards make it harder for girls/women to see themselves in science than in Humanities. Universities are cutting provision in Humanities, where students are disproportionately female. Is this what equality looks like?

South Wales is facing data centre developments in Llanrumney, Newport and Pontyclun. Llanrumney residents have raised concerns over effects on local wildlife.

So teachers can’t express support for the human rights of the victims of a genocide? If, as this report argues, wearing such badges of support is antisemitism, what please does make philosemitism? An ideology opposing universal human rights? And btw how do children of the Palestinian diaspora feel?

Public health is socialism in action.

Labour = progressive politics? - Mahmood as Home Sec - abusive immigration policy - Silence at Racist masked mobs - Vile anti-Trans policies - Ignoring climate breakdown - approves new oilfield - Destruction of Uni education sector - Selling NHS etc to Palantir nazis - Still supporting genocide?

"...we have seen that climate change is here..." I hate that this is the understanding politicians have of climate change. Like that's it - it's here and it won't get any worse. Policy is being formed on this ignorance. No understanding that this is the start and it will get unimaginably worse.

Trickle down economics

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

A video has emerged of how Israeli troops are firing on homes and tents in Gaza nowadays especially at late hours of the day. You can see the deliberate intent to harm and kill civilians by squeezing off stray rounds at their shelters. x.com/AbubakerAbed...

@channel4news.bsky.social With reference to the item on pandemic response in care homes, WHY didn’t you ask Hunt about this👇🏻 He was the key minister responsible for the decision to ignore the Cygnus report, and spend the money needed to implement it elsewhere. Including on Brexit planning
