Did you love the Conservative Party 2019-2022? Good news! They’re back!

I’m sure there is a correlation between the number of policies implemented in a workplace to mitigate sickness absence and the numbers of employees going off sick. I just wonder what the causation is?

Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform. Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday. actionnetwork.org/events/a-gre...

I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.

When will Labour put country before faction 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely pathetic Keir Starmer. What an affront to democracy!

TUC didn’t post this on BlueSky but it deserves to be seen!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Important to note that the Green Party took this seat off REFORM. The old rightwing parties, Lab & Tory cannot challenge the fascists by being Fascism-lite.

We have allowed the rich to get too rich. Now they are carving up the world between them putting ordinary people’s lives and livelihoods at risk for their own personal enrichment. 😥

So I nearly just got caught by a book club scam. Someone pretending to be from the San Francisco Best Sellers Book club (they weren’t) and wanting to feature one of my books. The communication was so credible!! Watch out academics and authors!! medium.com/@claude.whit...

Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...

Tax the Rich!! Give us back our public services.

Feels like the world had gone full-on Game Of Thrones now

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

This is really the most bonkers story I’ve ever heard. The peace prize is simply a wall hanging 🤷‍♀️

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

the horror of this is compounded by the fact that the whipple building sits on the same military fort where 1600+ Dakota, mostly women and children were held in a concentration camp in 1863, where over 300 died

So many of HE’s problems are the product of these efforts to generate market structures that just simply don’t work because the conditions that markets need to work really aren’t there, and all they do is create uncertainty (and financial problems) for students, staff, and institutions.

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike. Privatised water is a scam. I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

People are starting to see the truth little by little. youtu.be/ZqrZ1F0aE2c?...

Is there anyone in the uk government that is not bought and paid for by Israel? #LaboutFriendsofIsrael #ConservativeFriendsofIsrael #CraigGuildford

Well this looks on point!

There are people who want social and economic justice for everyone and there are people who want power and money for themselves

They were girls, not young women. And what about “young men”?

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Healing!! ❤️

What is it about watching America implode that is so attractive to the British public 🤷‍♀️

There were obvious clues he’d go down this route when #Elon backed #Trump the paedo for president knowing full well he was in the #Epstein files

Digital technology, it seems to me, is mostly a way of transferring work from corporation to consumer. No wonder we’re all exhausted.

Most shocking thing I’ve seen today.

Macron on the capture of Sir Keir: "France has long supported a transition of power in the UK. We regarded Starmer as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime."

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

Trump and Putin basically share same playbook.

Showing his whole arse here.

Oooh!! Did they cross-breed??

When did the (shitty) Supreme Court judgement that trans people can be excluded from single sex spaces if people using those spaces so want Get changed into: Transphobes can sue orgs who want to be trans-inclusive for amounts they can’t afford to defend using JKR & US far-right Christian cash?? 🤷‍♀️
