Power to the parish: can community ownership successfully scale up? The UK government has hopes of doubling the size of the co-operative sector, evolving the model beyond post offices and pubs to brownfield sites and storied estates

‘Many of these new groups want their communities to own, manage and profit from enterprises far larger than the pubs and post offices once associated with community control. They want to take on the town.’

If your job is keeping the left pro-Israel you’re doing a fab job and are totally not failing at everything you do

No notes

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

Not because the Democratic Party is salvation, but because the ability to shift — and to do so under the immense weight of fear and ruling class control — is proof we are still alive.

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building.

Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

Check the thread for the video.

Schumer said this today.

Zero fucks given to their party’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. Zero fucks given to civilians being annihilated by a far right ethno-supremacist regime.

Zero fucks given to the Democrats’ own base even.

Get rid of Schumer

Thank you

I will always remember The Man Show, where Jimmy Kimmel got his hosting start, having a countdown to the day Britney Spears turned 18, and one guest waxing lustful about wanting to be the Cosmo magazine she took to the toilet to read while she took a shit. This would be around 1999.

Great article. I think the comparison with Civil Rights movement is exactly right: people faced brutality, violence, even murder. But it worked: many of their demands were met, even in the face of extreme racism.
In solidarity from across the pond, where we may need these tactics soon ✊🏼

Funnily enough this is what my episode on @polphilpod.bsky.social was about: Tech Bros are too stupid to understand that they are doing what Tolkien warns against in the LotR.

Stand with Haitian Families in Crisis Build the Emergency Fund that protects families when everything feels uncertain. The end of TPS. Increasing ICE actions. Families losing work authorization overnight. For Haitian parents and children ...

ICE is getting ready to come for Haitians next week. Help the families JD Vance smeared with his ugly racist lies. This is an organization in Springfield connected to the Haitian community there. They need our help.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

notable that actual Jewish seniors get this in a way that the ersatz holocaust museum does not

Jarvis, tell them I’m not a pedo

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.

They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

Russian forces have attacked a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhya, wounding six - two of whom were pregnant women undergoing examination.

A nation truly committed to peace, Russia.

A not-‘toned down’ Trump regime prepares for ethnic cleansing in Ohio A plan for immigration raids this week on thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio shows that nothing has changed.

The comical idea that the Trump regime is pulling back from mass deportation choked on tear gas in Oregon and at gunpoint in MN, and the worst is yet to come

A looming ICE storm for Springfield's Haitians would bring ethnic cleansing to the heartland

I know it's not the most important bit here but I just can't get over how many of the emails sent to and from Epstein are terribly written

oh just this bsky.app/profile/pick...

I genuinely thought nothing about JK Rowling would surprise me anymore

lol

All JK Rowling's talk about protecting women and children is such bs. It was always about hating trans people. She invited him to the Harry Potter Broadway opening in 2018. This was way after Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from a minor.

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW
