Border killings in Europe are not accounted like police killings, and they are tens of thousands per year and in that regard, border police in the US are amateurs compared to Europe. Yes, I am from Spain, where we are killings thousands of migrant people every year with european funding.

One of the best mustache deployments so far this century Also go read his train shit you cowards

What The Times is doing here is moving the normalising of false racist framings that has been a core feature of the 'paper of record' for a long time into *far more* dangerous territory. They're laying the rhetorical foundations for pogroms & racist violence to be sanctioned by a future facsist govt

James Joyce is gonna read this and come back from the dead so he can publish Finnegan's Wake 2 out of sheer spite.

The hunger strikers are demanding to meet with the governor, the release of young and elderly detainees and all medically vulnerable people, and ultimately, freedom for all. “We are also doing this to demand freedom. We’re not treated like people. We’re treated like animals.”

Stop treating politics like it’s some 50/50 split on everything. That’s a designed wealth class narrative that keeps us from demanding more and obfuscates the fact that a supermajority of us are aligned on most issues, especially when it comes to capitalism and corruption.

fuck absolutely everyone involved in getting us to this point, trans women are women, trans men are men, non binary identities are valid and sex and gender can both be changed "biologically" if any such meaning can be usefully attributed to that phrase

Wild that a class of people who became historically wealthy and disturbingly powerful by stealing our collective wealth could only think to invent a technology that aggressively steals all of our ideas and likenesses and work to create an addictive sludge designed to destroy us.

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

On Repeater/Zer0 Substack, Tom Sperlinger explores how his ideas about literature and education changed during his time teaching in the West Bank, and what such encounters reveal about the nature of pedagogy and the role of a university under occupation: repeaterzer0.substack.com/p/i-was-part...

Went to a launch party for this last night. We all got a TESCO badge... Proper launch at Waterstone's in L'pool in April, 21st I think...

she was and is correct

The government's updated its guidance for migrant seasonal farm workers with this helpful advice: If your boss makes you feel unsafe, talk to your boss about it! If that doesn't work, talk to the recruiter your boss pays. Nothing about unions, legal advice, enforcement bodies...

Very pleased to have contributed to this swell volume on fascism, then and now

Set in the labyrinth of Tesco’s flagship supermarket, A Working Title I Want to Change explores the harshly lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerism’s rituals in all their comedy and menace. Read an excerpt and buy your copy now via the links in our bio.

This is basically Colonialism 101, but we can expect the campists and tankies to, uh, well

"Just as Isaac Babel proclaimed that he’d invented a new genre, that of silence, to keep the regime at bay; and just as Kafka’s Sirens possess a weapon more powerful than their song — namely, their silence — so here at Tesco there might be those for whom sound is not the desired norm."

@martinoneill.bsky.social unpacks the story of Labour Together and Josh Simmons to explore a toxic political culture that relies on smears and disinformation to serve the interests of wealthy donors. What does this mean for the future of the UK's Labour party?

Utterly convincing on the benefits of rail, but also about so much more than just trains, describing how we can effectively create society and community that works for us all

Finally got round to reading @garethdennis.uk excellent book How the Railways will Fix the Future

“Streaming is more like having an industrial catering-sized fridge in your home, in which the abundant food is going out of date before you can eat it.” bsky.app/profile/repe...

I am on a train with a new copy of that @garethdennis.uk book. This shit needs fixing (the trains, not the book).

I will never get tired of seeing people get excited about the better future than trains can give us... THANKS SO MUCH X

🟢 Israel agreed to a “ceasefire” in Gaza on Oct. 10. Since then, Israeli forces have: ➤ Launched 852 airstrikes & artillery attacks ➤ Opened fire on Palestinians 665 times ➤ Committed 1,856 armed violations on the ground 🔴 Israel Killed: ➤ 198 Children ➤ 85 Women ➤ 23 Elderly Citizens 648...

Going back to go forward, for the love of vinyl. Read an exclusive extract from Body of Work: How Music Outplayed the Algorithm and Survived Playlist Culture, by Keith Jopling, over on the Repeater substack: repeaterzer0.substack.com/p/the-needle...

Listen to @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social, the independent journalist who broke the huge story of the credible Trump accuser whose interviews were scrubbed/hidden by the DOJ. What is the Trump Administration hiding and why? thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.
