licensed therapist/social worker here, do NOT fall for these blatant attempts to disconnect you from your empathy for others.

it’s one of the keys to getting you to co-sign the oppression of other people and YOUR OWN. i know a psyop when i see one!

@LGBwiththeT "The hearing also heard the nurse's "strong political opinions" were known, including admiring Donald Trump."

absolutely no surprises there.

This is why Luigi was right.

You can't play their game. You can use their system. Because they have all the money and all the power and they will change the rules whenever it suits them.

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.

Right so, “resist” means *don’t* follow fascist orders.
Don’t take the art off the walls.
Don’t delete the website.
Don’t open the dams.

Play dumb. Ask for clarity, repeatedly. Lose the email. Misplace the keys. Stall. Ignore. Forget. Crawl.

You are the line, you hold it.

This is extremely concerning. The correct response is: (a) class-action lawsuits against the major plastic producers, and (b) degrow the plastics industry.

Wes Streeting is not only very transparently embracing Trumpian narratives.

In this article, his team have clearly deliberately identified a psychologist, a Black woman, to be named and shamed - and thrown to the wolves of the right-wing press.

I remember the vidoes of South Korean assembly members literally scaling walls, snatching rifles from soldiers, and their aides barricading doors to prevent a military coup just a few months ago.
And American politicians are just standing there passive as a coup is happening live

@halfheldsky yeah there's certainly something to be said for the way a lot of leftists prize academic education (which is not accessible to many people who are multiply marginalised) over lived experience, but like.... education definitely is important.

I've no words. This is truly devastating:

'“All of the data for HIV is gone. Normally there’s a menu for medical professionals,” but that has disappeared, says Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan who says she was up until 2 a.m.

@leicesterliz just say you hate disabled people and you don't care if they die, liz. say it with your whole chest.

Changes to PIP to crack down on fraud, 0%👇🏻 DWPs own stats. Underpayments by DWP to claimants total £4billion. Kendall using same language as ex Tory DWP minister towards disabled, not surprising. Kendall believes disabled have no purpose unless working #ArbeitMachtFre
