I thought Trump had fixed it so drugs were being given away with money?

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Thanks! I fell out of the habit of photographing dinners a while back but have my Mum living with us now, and I seem to feel the need to provide evidence to the rest of the family that I’m feeding her πŸ˜‚

Look at this hot nonsense and then look at Trump's abysmal polling numbers - he's hot garbage in all categories - and remind me again why politicians and corporate leaders are allowing this to happen. The arrow pointing to the right side of history is brighter than the sun.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campusβ€”making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.

If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Is there any explanation for how we went from half of parliament and the whole national press up in arms - roaring that even a suspicion of racism is utterly unacceptable and those accused must be destroyed - to shrugs and awkward coughs as the main parties fight to do Enoch Powell speeches loudest.

The truth is it's going to be a choice between people like this and a Labour or Labour led coalition at the next election. If you think Labour is the same as this sack of shit don't complain when you wake up to a Reform/Tory government in 4 years time and consequences that will follow.

ted.
In this context I feel obliged to state once more that - like the hundreds of protesters arrested last weekend - I too support Palestine Action. If this makes me a "supporter of terror" un-
der UK law, so be it. My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets. In recent years the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. I want to be clear that I intend to use these pro-ceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on support-ing Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can. If the British state considers this
"terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith
and the BBC.

Irrespective of how John feels, his words are simply not compatible with an inclusive prize that celebrates all LGBTQ+ people. Just like a racist statement would not be allowed in a prize for writers of colour, or a sexist statement tolerated for a prize for feminist writers. /11

Good on you for sticking to your principles, the absolute brassneck of standing for an award that celebrates a community that you’re actively working to break up - absolutely no surprise that he has Rowling and Bindel egging him on.

Putin’s extremely warped, revisionist but extensive historical views were always going to be used to manipulate a man who probably still thinks Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia exists, never mind Leningrad.

Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom The 18-year-old high school student said she unzipped her hoodie to show she had breasts after a Buffalo Wild Wings server didn't believe she is a woman.

This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone β€œjust asking questions” for β€œwomen’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives.

The UK Government didn't build a technical infrastructure for age verification before the Online Safety Act enforcement came into effect but transphobes expect them to build an infrastructure (and staffing architecture) for checks at every public toilet in the country.

The best time to counter a coup is BEFORE the coup happens.

Unless people take down Trump and his people, they are going to wake up one day soon in a dictatorship. And the US Army won't be in the mood for pro-democracy protesters.
