Holding my breath for no.10s response

Tonight: Part 2 of tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s Secret Antichrist Lecture in San Francisco. Spoiler Alert: Biblical scripture + fascist philosophy = the roadmap for apocalyptic politics. Look around. See the pattern yet? Here's why it matters: newrepublic.com/article/2004...

What’s wrong with a left-wing mag? If white saviour complex were an image: French Marianne (France’s national personification) consoling a Palestinian woman. White world has been running & saving the world for more than four centuries and this is where they’ve got us. Performative claptrap.

Disney REALLY hopes releasing a new STAR WARS trailer will make everyone stop talking about how they’re the villains in STAR WARS.

A policy of sending British-born British citizens 'back' to their 'country of origin' isn't rightwing populism; it's reheating the rancid politics of the 1970s National Front

Everything that the Labour party did about anti-racism, inbetween increasingly draconian immigration legislation and policy, Black and Asian people had to fight for

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Following what was effectively a free one hour party election broadcast for Reform courtesy of the BBC, liberals are discovering that the mainstream media and the establishment serve the ruling class.

Keir Starmer just wants fascism to be fully costed and more efficient.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Half the politicians in the world right now competing to be the best nazis they can be.

Labour say they want to extend ILR to ten years, Reform say they will scrap it and deport people. This is how the escalation happens. Reform already suggested those born abroad should be deported for fly-tipping (status not specified)

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

My problem with everything is that I know For A Fact that the purpose of life is frivolity. It is to fool around & pursue joy.

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

Tarantula (1955, Jack Arnold)

when they used to say "twitter isn't real life," what they meant was they thought progressive viewpoints were overrepresented there.

Very bored/terrified of racists being described as 'divisive'

"the @greenparty.org.uk scored highest with newly elected leader Zack Polanski making public ownership of water a cornerstone of his campaign." weownit.org.uk/news/public-...

Greens have passed the Lib Dems

The Green Party now has 78,000 members. Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line. I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Basically, Farage is promoting fascism. I don’t see how anyone can deny it.

These idiots simply don't have a clue what #climate breakdown truly involves If they did, such insane decisions would never be made They are going to get one hell of shock www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

Where Reform is headed is very much in line with the new right, that in order to save western democracy it must be destroyed. Patriotism as nihilism. Culture wars to become real ones. Very dangerous stuff.

Get yourself a party that doesn't mess around with public ownership. We own it. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Slow morning, and thankful for that

For bonus dehumanisation points, "addicted to cheap foreign labour".

Solidarity and love to all my friends, colleagues, neighbours and followers who are being made to feel unsafe, anxious or unwelcome in this country

“It’s time to change the narrative. Tommy Robinson does not represent the majority of Britons. We aren’t afraid. We’re angry. And we won’t be defeated.” The power we need coming from @sangitamyska.bsky.social here www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

What this government means by reform is cuts, despite the UK benefit bill being one of the lowest in Europe Starmer again targetting the poor and vulnerable while leaving the wealth of the rich untouched Totally indefensible www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Making the UK more like an authoritarian plutocracy based on fossil fuel wealth where women are second class citizens and foreigners have no rights is certainly pretty on brand for Reform

Speaking outside what will become the Palestinian embassy, Husam Zomlot calls for an end to the genocide, comprehensive sanctions & a full arms embargo The camera pans to Wes Streeting, who is shamelessly alongside. Streeting, who denies genocide & is part of a govt complicit in it

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status. “They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. “Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

Gotta say I’m not a big fan of 2 Jim Crow 2 Furious

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

Man, thanks to everyone out there sharing love for BLACK PHONE 2. Were super proud of the film and so happy so many of you who saw it dug it. Much love and thank you! Can’t wait for the rest of you to check it out!

“Israel has arrested Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov after condemning his country's actions in Gaza during a concert in London. "Stop the genocide. It's destroying everything. Stop it now."” (The BBC had cut his #Proms plea from the live broadcast.)

1/ “Don’t mention the children. Don’t name the dead children. The people must not know the names of the dead children. The names of the children must be hidden. The children must be nameless. The children must leave this world having no names.” Michael Rosen youtu.be/tENn0dTF2eY?...

Whether the recognition of statehood is just an empty gesture/diversion or not remains to be seen.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

They just played a 10 minute silent Nan Goldin film of video from Gaza. Starting with pre-war footage of everyday life and joy. Progressing through the horrors of the genocide. Total silence except for quiet sniffles and crying from the audience.

The government thinks it can compete on racism with a party now embracing AfD-style “remigration”

I feel like the general audience largely does not care who the executive producer of a film is. Though, I do know many folks who were eagerly anticipating this movie due to the understanding that Peele directed it. Realizing the truth, and seeing the reviews, deterred them from seeing it altogether.
