Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Reform's Trumpian answer to a funding problem in my home county Lancashire - close care homes, sell to a Reform Party man! Let us be like Zhoran Mamdani and Zach Polanski and openly rebel against such corruption of our welfare state! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A fundamental Q arises: the cost of groceries keeps going up and is a big cause of the cost-of-living crisis, so why do Associated Foods need to keep all of their annual profit of £1.3 billion? A philosopher might well ask why do they get to keep any of it, once their costs are covered. Just sayin'

More evidence that Labour are losing fewer voters to Reform than they are to the Greens and Lib Dems. Also, interestingly, Labour defectors to Reform are less likely to return than are Conservative defectors open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...

El ataque de Israel contra la Flotilla Global Sumud es un crimen contra el derecho internacional. Exijimos a Israel la liberación inmediata de cualquier detenido. La UE debe romper relaciones con Israel ya.

Starmer's Israeli handlers continue the daily massacres

As a social scientist, I'd say Starmer should never have foisted this Trump visit on the country, either for his own sake or for ours. US thinkers say fascism has already arrived there. so. What value has it for anyone beyond the tech bros for us to host a liar, paedophile, fraudster & dictator?

Badenoch is awful and she is fucking thick as pigshit

Release the Epstein files!!!

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

Starmer is a lawyer ignoring social reality. Ceasefire would not stop Israeli murders & land grabs. They hate, do not negotiate, lie rabidly, replicate the Nazis [pure ressentiment], and are a US puppet. Palestine's "rights" are like a cigarette before a firing squad. They need protection by force.

Israel could be relocated to Utah. After all, there are Mormons there and Hamish in Delaware. And there a plenty of US-born American accents in Israel. With the Israeli state being so backed politically & financially by the USA, it would be entirely appropriate as the 51st state. OK with most of us.

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

Both Silicon Valley and the U.S. government now agree that we must invest untold billions to build supporting infrastructure for an error-prone, energy-hungry technology with an unproven business model and an unpredictable impact on the economy and jobs.

Why do police let themselves be politicised by partisan and stupid legislators/politicians? This is obscene: hope she sues them for false imprisonment, assault & harassment. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

WTactualF? There is so much revealed here about Epstein and his creepy "friends" a sociologist could take a year to unpack the sexual perversion and male chauvinism in this interview. Trump and Jeffrey were soul mates. The origin of Trump's LIE about the Unabomber comes out: he even steals lies.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

Some of these lemons don't understand how to buy a business. As you know better than I buy the shares with bonds. Profits cover the interest. Ask the Glazers.

Standard Labour, protect private capital at all costs. They are the enemy of the proletariat. We must get rid of them. #GLO #GetLabourOut

Daniel got arrested for putting a know your rights table. LAPD this is so unnecessary and uncalled for. This is tyranny at the city level.

It is just scary how much there is on the many YouTube sites that report Trumpist crime and incompetent dictatorship in the US yet how minutely little there is on the US driving, funding and legitimating the genocide in Israel. The worst, cruellest, most evil massacres are on European screens daily.

Here in the UK we wonder how Americans could have voted for Trump to have a 2nd term, but if we don't install PR before the next GE we could repeat the US disaster of a far right government with no coherent policies beyond self-aggrandisement and capital accumulation.

Looking at this week, it seems our corrupted governments don't want us to know that about 80 Palestinians a day are being brutally raped and murdered. There's NO ceasefire! The Israeli state is the most sub-human fascistic group on the planet; worst since Nazis. USA & UK shame for helping them!

US power plants will be allowed to pollute nearby communities and the wider world with more unhealthy air toxins and an unlimited amount of planet-heating gases under new regulatory rollbacks.

Peaceful protest against ICE in Spokane is happening at 411 W Cataldo after the detainment of a young man who went to his hearing. Over a dozen protestors are sitting in front of the bus , prepared to be arrested. The bus windshield has been spray painted

Thames Water is collapsing. NO BAILOUTS for the shareholders and banks who caused this mess. Tell the government to take it into public ownership PERMANENTLY and protect the public interest. #WeOwnIt weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

In a society of immigrants, probably the dumbest thing you could do as a government is to attack and undermine immigrants without following strict due process. Guaranteed epic fail. Then doubling down on it with violence is exceptionally counter-productive even in its own terms.

Trump has no idea how counter-productive his actions will be. The research, even on LA street conflicts alone, let alone the rest of the world, shows that the the suppression of dissent will sustain increased resistance to his brutal policies. Neanderthal! He will take the United out of the USA.

www.opendemocracy.net/en/just-stop... "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance" - wtf is that? So it wasn't in itself a public nuisance then? Just a group chat? JuststopOIl should rename themselves JustStopTalking. The state is criminalising protest. Instead it should address what they protest about!

I can no longer vote for the only political party I could vote for - because they support the fascist & genocidal Israeli state - so, as I'm sure others feel this way, should we accept that we are no longer in an age of political representation by the state? So, is it a state or a chaos of voices?

Caught lobbying for cash or bullying in Parliament? You can still return to the House of Lords - for life. No real consequences. No accountability. Sign now to kick rule-breakers out for good. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

“It asserts a fundamental principle that the ruler is subject to the law.. .If he wants to act against you, he has to do so by legal process. It’s the foundation stone of the western tradition of law and democracy.” Prof David Carpenter on discovering Harvard's copy of Magna Carta wasn't a copy.

Is Starmer clueless or a Tory? How does he think an "island of strangers" would behave? Form a loving set of monasteries? Here Prots killed Catholics. Would those wanting selfish alienation kill socialists? US history: the immigrants slaughtered the natives. So, rivers of blood are implied.

Starmer can't see that talking of "strangers", implying immigrants must integrate, was both unnecessary and counter-productive? Also too general. Tapping into the fears of the declining, old, white working-class looks politically inept: Farage plays that tune. Job-specific regs. & welcome culture!

"But a proposed new levy on foreign students risks undermining them, weakening their [universities - CS] soft power. This seems madness: more than a quarter of the world’s countries have leaders who were educated here in Britain. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'cheap foreign labour causes our major problems' - Labour now aligned with xenophobic ideology. Sell that to the USA, Keir! Or Canada! Or Australia! After Brexit, the truth is that the UK caused all its own problems and deployed immigrants to solve them before expelling them for no good reason.

Starmer's fear of "island of strangers" is divide and rule. But his use of Powell's xenophobic stoking of fears should not deflect from the fact that the PM himself is a now a stranger to our diverse, class-ridden but polyglot nation. Individuation is not caused by immigrants, but by capitalism.

Bribery in plain sight.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

JD Vance practices a gangster form of persuasion: threaten and insult all those countries the US wants to have, or compete for, deals with: “I believe that if India and the United States... fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity."
