If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

β€œEveryone in positions of influence should ask themselves the question: are you treating those fighting to save the planet more harshly than those fighting for inherited wealth? If so, why?”

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! πŸ‘ŠπŸ»βœ¨

Are you autistic ?

I'd like to connect and follow you.

I have no friends IRL.

Autistic people can find social situations difficult or overwhelming and struggle to make and maintain friendships, leading to social isolation.

Let's connect and build a community where we're not alone.

Hi, I’m 45 and on the waiting list for a diagnosis. I have a few NT people that I’m friendly with, and a very treasured autistic friend who I couldn’t live without.

Govt let off accountancy, architects & private equity firms. Partners taxed as self-employed.

They pay Class 4 NIC, lower rate than workers. Partners of just 4 law firms gained Β£4bn.

Enough to cancel two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut.

Easier to hit the less well-off

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RP if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.
