To understand how superficial this Labour win is you only need to zoom out.

After 14 years in office, the Tories are truly spent. They have nothing to offer. Redolent of Blair’s win in 1997, a well-fed show pig would have won.

But party backers and strategists understand the importance of breaks in power that allow for party consolidation and reinvention — but only provided that power doesn’t fall to candidates that will challenge the status quo during those breaks.

The Tories were going to eventually lose — this is the perfect time, for them, to do so.

In practice, the Tories handing the reins to a Labour Party that broadly supports all the same policies is a win for those the Tories represent — the ruling class. They know that eventually us plebs have to see a term or two under a different government to appease us, but they know Starmer won’t challenge their wealth and power and privilege during this period.

In fact, they’re so chuffed that Starmer is their man, versus someone like Corbyn who’d have taxed the shit out of them to help reduce inequality, that they’re out in their droves supporting him.

And so it goes: the veneer of democracy is upheld while nothing material will change.

So, no, this is not a win for the common person; on the contrary, it’s a win for those who oppress us. And anyone celebrating this is a useful idiot, naively greasing the wheels of our shared exploitation.

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

1/5

Dear world,

Israel just bombed a Christian hospital in Gaza and murdered over 500 Palestinian civilians. White phosphorus chemical bombs confirmed by human rights watch was not enough to open your eyes. Over 1000 dead children wasn’t enough. Will you open your eyes and act now?

As a Muslim woman and an American citizen, the ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade is actually in direct violation of my constitutional right to freedom of religion. Muslim women are allowed to get abortions, especially if it will damage our health and livelihoods.

This has been going on at mine for months now with my boys, at the point where I’m also saying it back to them…

My son, 7, has discovered “deez nuts” jokes and it’s all he says now. Everything is deez nuts. He simply can’t stop.

I asked him where he heard that joke. He made me promise that if he told me, he wouldn’t get in trouble. I agreed. So he leans in and whispers, “deez nuts.”

@electr0lights @KAKMRU Since there is a grammar for Kreol Morisien, laid by academics, after years of research to back their merhod of writing, it makes sense to follow it, doesn’t it? @christinameetoo might be in a better place to discuss this though

[Christina Meetoo @christinameetoo]

Dans un article sur le meurtre d'une femme par son époux, il est écrit qu'il lui reprochait son mode de vie et la soupçonnait d'infidélité. Cela va sans nul doute alimenter les excuses par des apologistes du féminicide...

The situation in India is one step away from all out genocide. This video sent chills down my spine: a young college lady (probably 19?) is surrounded by BJP thugs all shouting slogans against her because of her hijab, & she proudly stands up against them proclaiming takbīrs.
