some things to some people

is the position of the british government that palestinians in gaza are not to be allowed to stay in their home, and should also not be allowed to leave in a manner of their choosing. enquiring journalists might want to ask !!

[michael wave @michael___wave]

saying that things are connected is often too flattening, better to note when things clearly feed off each other: 10 months of genocide in palestine, flare up of anti-muslim pogroms, fash chants about protecting kids, transphobia, racist prurience about athlete’s bodies

Every single commodity is soaked in blood and any communist imaginary should start with how the masses of global poor will live equitably rather than soicalisty ubereats

Quick note to say that if it is cruel, inhumane & petty to deprive someone on £36k the opportunity to bring their partners & spouses here to build a family in the UK, it is precisely as cruel, inhumane & petty to deprive someone on £18k of the same.

interesting to me that this site loves that post genre where people grapple more or less seriously with what skills they’d need in a post collapse world, but you rarely if ever see the same treatment of what would you happily give up to avoid that collapse

“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.” —James Connolly on George V
