The corporations/billionaires are not only crushing the opposition but remolding formerly time-honored institutions into something unrecognizable. There’s a reason Trump’s 2nd state visit involved King Charles 👑 entertaining numerous corporate heads from across tech, media, and business. 💰💷💶

Loved DREAM HUNTERS by @nazimapathan.bsky.social 💖 In this fun #MG #fantasy Mimi & her friend use their unique skills to catch bad dreams & rid society of negativity.

Thoroughly recommend #BlackTudors by @drmirandakaufmann.bsky.social and can't wait to read her new book #Heiresses coming out soon! #book #books #bookreview #teachers #history #BritishHistory

There’s a sick, twisted irony in the far-right protesting against asylum seekers for their alleged involvement in crimes, when 41% (!) of those arrested at last year’s far-right riots had previously been reported to the police for domestic abuse

The Observer was sold out of the Guardian Media Group (owned by the Scott Trust) a few weeks ago. It's now owned - like most UK media - by a billionaire-backed consortium. And hey presto - a puff piece for the Kinder, Küche, Kirche women of Reform!

Advice to Labour: -tax millionaires & billionaires more -reinstate the Winter Fuel Allowance for all pensioners -stop cuts to Disability Allowance/PIP -stop supplying arms to Israel as they commit a genocide -be a REAL Labour Party! If not, you'll lose to Reform/Farage in the next General Election.

The wonderful Toni Morrison was right 👌🏼

In Parliament REFORM have voted against: Ban on fire/rehire of workers on worse working conditions. Ban on exploitative Zero-hour contracts Improvements to paternity leave Allowing workers bereavement leave Improvements in sick pay Why are workers supporting a party that will reduce their welfare?

Highly recommend 'That Which May Destroy You' by @abdakhan.bsky.social It takes you on a fast-paced ride w/Miriam, a S.Asian Brit, who stands accused of murdering her outwardly charming husband. Yet, while he fooled others, she suffered abuse behind closed doors. But did she murder him? #BookReview
