We have a real chance to elect Hannah Spencer as the Green Party’s 5th MP.
This by-election is clear: Green vs Reform. Graft vs grift. Hope vs division.
Join Hannah and @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Gorton and Denton this Saturday and help us make hope normal again ⤵️
Nice mix of #food tonight.
I put mint and dill in the guacamole. Bean salad, strawberry pineapple salsa, balsamic salad and the foods from packets were the chicken shawarma and corn wraps.

The BBC have responded to our letter with the usual talking points seen from them; they completely ignored the issues raised within our original letter. We have sent them a follow-up letter to push for a response to the important points we have raised.
We’ve sent a follow-up to the BBC Board over a month of silence on our formal complaint. It’s about a systemic pattern in BBC News reporting and the Board’s responsibility to address it, not deflect it.
💥 GOOD.
Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…
…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…
…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…
Stinks.
In the wake of this, ICE and other murderous flag fucker news, would like to give a hearty FUCK nation states, and sincerely hope you join me in condemning nation states as an existential threat to our species.
Ordinary young people with ambitions and hopes. Imagine if they had been able to travel by plane, train or ferry as we take for granted. Cause of death: being prevented from travelling by normal means
Marketisation of public services in general is a disaster. The model just doesn't fit. It's fine if you're selling beer or shampoo, but not education, health, water or energy.

Two reasons: morality & pragmatism.

Bezos gets to choose on a whim to destroy the Washington Post, just as Thiel can destroy Gawker, Musk can ruin Twitter, Ellison can take over TikTok, etc. Millions of others' opposition counts for near nothing.
I realize this puts me in oft mocked MMT territory, but it seems to me the value of taxing the rich is not to fund government but to compress the wealth distribution, so as to ensure those up top are not so disproportionately wealthier than others as to be able to exercise vast undemocratic power.
The pattern goes like this: Public Figure A smears trans people, probably says horribly racist and/or antisemitic things, falls apart mentally, or some combination of all three. But transphobia is the gateway drug.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

American economics and capitalism help create Jeff Bezos and Amazon. As a multi-billionaire, Bezos only cares about himself and his own wealth.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
#Pinks#ProudBlue
Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sadly — and ironically — British institutions are far more cowardly when it comes to prosecuting politicians, than their French cousins.
Reasons to be cheerful: Palantir - founded & chaired by Peter Thiel and lobbied for by Peter Mandelson's Global Counsel - lost $40 billion in market value today.
Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.
But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
