The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.
~ Toni Morrison ~
People often mistake socializing regularly for community. If there's no commitment to care, there's no community, no matter how fun the socializing is.
Giving up on our ability to vote means they have given you a choice and you've said nothing.
But through calculated dismantling many will feel "it doesn't make a difference"
With less people engaged the establishment can truly usher in some of the worst people and policies.
An instrument to create true apathy and feeling that nothing can change.
By turning what Labour has historically stood for on its head and strong-arming policy that oppresses many it does that.
"Nothing can change"
"They're all the same"
"What's the point in voting"
Today Israel murdered every child in this photo.
If these were Israeli kids we'd hear every western leader speak their names and every news channel tell us their story.
They're Palestinians so have no names, no story and no value to western nations who "champion human rights".
This is so hateful but sums up the UK right now.
People gathering together and enjoying from outside with no bother and now you're erecting fencing!
All the powers that be want is us to work, pay our bills, and be miserable 💀
‘Gallagher Hill’ fenced off ahead of @oasis' next Heaton Park shows: “It’s not a wonderwall, it’s a wooden fence”
Manchester City Council have suggested that fans enjoy "a real party atmosphere" in the city centre instead https://t.co/OZOcdUcxNY
For a lot of people we don't arrive here overnight...
I like many don't get the luxury of showing our true colours because every interaction verbal & non-verbal is analysed.
"They were angry & aggressive" meanwhile the constant talking down, prodding, poking is overlooked!
"But the lefty fleas we shook off are enabling Reform!" What are you on?! Shut up and stay in your focus groups.🤡🤡🤡
The @TheGreenParty , Independents and the proper left are taking the fight to the far right, and will clear up the mess you made.

🚨 We’re shocked and disappointed.
The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future.
These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.
Are Birmingham City Council about to sack bin workers for refusing to take an £8,000 pay cut?
Is that not fire and rehire? The very same practice this Labour government promised to outlaw.
And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Labour.
Tonight a Labour government voted to slash £2 billion from some of the poorest people in our society.
They sip drinks at Mastercard HQ while disabled people are pushed to food banks.
I know I speak for millions when I say: we won't take this anymore.
events are one of the biggest socio-cultural outputs london has, they’re in a good place even tho these convos make it seem like we’re cooked
just gotta work together (organiser, performer and attendee) to develop the next level
cos there’s more to do!!!
we have normalised overconsumption. listening to a podcast while we walk, scrolling reels in the toilet, listening to music while we cook, watching a show on Netflix while we eat. it’s as if there is NO breathing space for your mind. you’re constantly trying to fill the void, the stillness and yet here you’re complaining about feeling groggy and demotivated.
Last kicks of a dying horse. Throwing whatever they can out there now, it's all garbage...
What's happening is, has been, and will be there in plain view for all that have eyes and willingness to see!
The levels of gaslighting in real time by state and media is genuinely outrageous!
How do we ensure with the flooding of misinformation and a lot of reliance on AI that there are reliable/ true accounts available for those that seek it...
Parliament and Hansard have removed “We are all Palestine Action” from my speech on Wednesday 2 July 2025 — despite me saying it.
This is a blatant attempt to censor me and rewrite the record.
This is not how a democracy behaves.
We will not be silenced.
