Here for your best Freudian left hot takes, and to rant about housing + welfare. Interested in horror, in the broadest sense.

🚨🚨🚨Baby Dareen is not even 1 year old yet she has been hospitalised 5 times due to toxic mould and damp in her dangerously overcrowded home.

For over 4 months @lambeth_council have failed to take enforcement action against their slum landlord. Urgent action is needed now!

Hey @lewishamhomes Dickens wrote novels not how to guides for councils

[HASL @HousingActionSL]

🥶Yuly's bathroom window is broken& won't close, but @lewishamhomes said it is not urgent & booked the repair for Feb 2024! 😮 It is so cold she can't shower & she is having to stuff clothes in to try keep out the cold (which doesn't work). This needs to be urgently rebooked

After suffering over 8 weeks in a cramped hotel these babies were almost left street homeless after temporary accommodation fell through last night @Royal_Greenwich @MrOkereke

This family needs local self-contained Temporary Accommodation now! @Royal_Greenwich must do better!

BREAKING: 400+ trade unionists are blockading multiple entrances to an arms factory in Kent which provides weapons for the Israeli military.

We demand an immediate #CEASEFIRENOW to halt the killing of civilians in Palestine & an end to British complicity in Israeli war crimes!

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:

1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.

2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.

3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.

4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.

5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.

6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”

7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.

8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.

9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.

10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

[Visualizing Palestine @visualizingpal]

Long before Israeli authorities imposed the blockade on Gaza in 2007, they instituted some of the harshest apartheid policies and escalating closures over a period of three decades. These measures were calculated to permanently isolate Gaza, turning it into a sacrifice zone.

[michael @Sisyphusa]

says the man who ran one of the most racist London mayoral campaigns in living memory.

i was at the march all day, didn't see a single antisemitic placard or hear anyone being antisemitic. you & other Zionists (jewish or not) use Islamophobia to justify genocide. shame on you.

The arms fair happening now is the unseen, unspoken, unspeakable linchpin of capitalism. It is surreal and horrifying to witness. But so uplifting to be there with #StopDSEI community talking about #patientsnotpassports & Migrant justice

If you want to push back against reactionary forces and defend the right to abortion with rad and experienced anticapitalist feminist activists, you should go to this next weekend...

[Medact @Medact]

Today, @ObserverUK published damning new figures showing that upfront charging for NHS care led to over 900 people being denied treatment.

The NHS should be available to all based on need, not ability to pay. These figures reveal only part of the harm.

@paulbrock I'm sure!

[Eleanor @anotherslime]

Hope other local authority housing staff follow suit in blowing the whistle on thier treatment of homeless people. Because frankly, in London, they're all like this

[Andrew Kersley @AndrewKersley]

EXCL: Tower Hamlets has left families in hotels for six months because its housing service is “near collapse”, whistleblowers tell me.

Staff have been given with scripts to use in calls to put homeless people off seeking council help.

@LndnCathWorker You should try re-launching it with an image of you all drinking matcha vanilla iced lattes and see what happens 💅😅

[Eleanor @anotherslime]

@LndnCathWorker O no!
