Many of us become accidental activists. Not out of rage, but out of heartbreak. Because somewhere along the way, we realized silence helps no one. Not the earth, not our children, not each other. Paul Avellino

Some may relate.

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

How Chicagoans Are Helping Kids Have A Safe — And ICE-Free — Halloween This Year Neighbors are organizing indoor trick-or-treat events, candy drives and candy dropoffs to protect vulnerable families. Two Logan Square blocks that attract thousands of trick-or-treaters may shut down...

children no longer being safe trick-or-treating on american streets because of the president is where we're at

This is a good sign

In case you don’t know: the regime has already broken the law to pay for the Pentagon’s payroll. What Johnson is really saying is the regime won’t break the law to feed people.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Honestly astounding.

Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy' The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Always told liberals Bill Maher was a racist piece of shit, especially against Muslims and Arabs, and we were ignored for years.

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

There's a mental image that was wholly unnecessary. Ugh.

If she were a socialist she absolutely would not be supporting Starmer. And it's funny how the response to this loss and low vote share is not resulting in a mass walk out from the Cabinet and calls for Starmer to go.........

OMG.

If you see someone stealing groceries, no you didn’t

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

Watching rich MAGA cattle ranchers whinging about USians not being able to afford beef etc and I think, you know what? At this point I would just quit eating beef full stop. If a large % of the pop did this, it would start to affect their bottom line & serve 'em right.

Trump says he’s increasing tariffs on Canada by 10% after Ontario’s Reagan ad | CNN Business President Donald Trump said Saturday he is increasing the tariff on Canada by 10% over current levels, further escalating trade tensions over what he called a “fake” ad that featured parts of an anti-...

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

Just woodlice in rural Kent in the '80s, too.

For no reason at all, I am thinking of the time that thousands of protestors tried to petition the tsar to make liberal reforms.

At the time he was a generally beloved figure; they hoped that he would rein in the boyars.

They were gunned down.

This marked the doom of the Romanov dynasty.

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something

our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

So, Waitrose decided to exploit an autistic man, using him as unpaid labour for 600 hours, then 'cancelled' his contract once there was a request for him to be paid?
What the...!
Modern Slavery isn't just about keeping people locked in sheds & taking their passports away, employers. Think carefully.

It's particularly egregious since Waitrose trade on a reputation for being ethical.

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

So the Daily Mail seems to have copied, seemingly with no attribution, large chunks of an @apnews.com article in which I'm quoted about the AWS outage, & someone else quoted *DM* as having quoted *me* and I goddam definitely did not give that quote to the fucking mail. Just bad form, or actionable?

Well, how about that. Architect on FB pulls apart the ballroom "plans":

New theory.

Reform UK are so-called because they are the political equivalent of re-formed meat. Decidedly substandard.......
