I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world.

Finland didn't solve homelessness with magic. They just didn't treat it like a business plan. You can still run a cafe. Start a band. Sell socks online. Capitalism still works in Finland.  But they decided that housing people didn't need to turn a profit. Because sometimes, the moral thing is the practical thing. And no one thrives when their neighbour is sleeping in a tent by the river. You can't KPI your way out of a crisis. Sometimes, you just have to give a damn.

The words Barack spoke ring true more and more each and every day.

We must keep using our voices to demand change. No one is here to rescue us, but us.

As a reminder of what true leadership in a POTUS looks like, we show appreciation to him today.

Privatisation in a nutshell:

Steal from us something we own.

Sell us back an inferior service at a higher price.

The pattern is the same everywhere: water, railways, the NHS, public services, council services…

SpaceX says a leak in-flight has caused Starship to lose attitude control. The spacecraft is in a suborbital spin and likely will have an uncontrolled reentry over the Indian Ocean. This follows other mission setbacks β€” loss of booster during return and failure of payload doors to open. πŸ–₯️ SpaceX

You know a cause is morally bankrupt when the β€œevidenceβ€œ used to support it is selective, factually incorrect and non-evidence based. A prime example being the cause of con man-of-the-people Nigel Farage and the far right.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.

Trump administration halts Harvard’s ability to enroll international students.

The Trump regime is trying to crush the main centres of intellectual resistance to its authoritarian power grab.

Farage would very likely follow the same path if he wins power.

According to ProPublica, more than a dozen top executive branch officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump's "Liberation Day" market crash.Β

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.
