Good Morning Britain just called me to appear on the show. Topic: whether it’s okay for everyone to get air-conditioning.

That is correct. There are no “rights,” there is only power and the struggle over it. Once you understand that, you can adjust your strategy accordingly and stop being shocked every time you’re reminded of the fact.
Sending reporters to do heatwave stories to camera at the beach is a such a lazy bit of consent manufacturing. 35C does not equal the beach. Do the report on a building site where people are on the verge of passing out. Do it from a hospital ward.
people are really blaming the devistation of the european heat wave on "not having ac" and not on the last 200 years of the capitalist class destroying the future of everyone
It’s wild how Gaza is being erased from the narrative surrounding Starmer’s unpopularity. Over 50% of Labour switchers at the locals said it influenced them. It came up on the doorstep over & over again. It’s one of the greatest moral stains of our era. And yet media silence.
The amount of waist-deep involvement Western militaries have had in the actual perpetration of the gaza genocide will only be accepted decades from now in the West, but was clear from the first days for any honest observer.
