in a free market, X would be dead and Elon Musk would not be able to open a credit card. This is not a free market, and the people who tried to organize a boycott against a bad website got sued out of existence.

gorton and denton by-election result: she gets 706 votes, 1.9% of the total
underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

🎉 MASSIVE congratulations to Hannah Spencer on being elected to represent Gorton & Denton in the House of Commons for @greenparty.org.uk.
This is an unprecedented result, enlarging further the biggest representation of Greens in UK history.
Hope is stronger than hate.
BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Congratulations!
A Green win must mean that "left behind" voters forgotten by Westminster want open borders and legalised class A drugs. That's how it works right?

Czechs got conned by a blitz of Russia's anti-inmigration populism and voted in pro-Russian kleptocrat Babis, who is now doing Putin's bidding, being the ONLY country to aim for a REDUCTION in military spending.

Viktor Orbán has betrayed Ukraine and Europe.
In the face of Ukrainian strength, he has made Europe weak.
In the face of Ukraine’s fight for freedom, he has acted cowardly.
In the face of European unity, he has become Putin’s cheap servant.
This must stop.

This makes it sound like 54 by Wu Ming except Blitz London instead of post-war Italy and Jugoslavia, and with time travellers and magic instead of a conscious TV set stuffed full with heroin.
If you haven't read 54 by Wu Ming, do so. It's got the best kind of time traveller: italian communists.
Oh shit, the author of Red Plenty is starting to publish fantasy! OK, this might be my thing?

By that time the remedies are often armed rebellion or invasion by another country or, at the very least, extended general strikes. Cat's out of the bag.

Butterfly meme where Helsingin Sanomat asks "Is this political analysis?" while looking at orientalism
Siis joo, 2027 ja 2028 ovat tärkeitä vuosia Taiwanille, ja joo, saaren tulevaisuus liittyy Ukrainaan, tärkeitä asioita. Oliko pakko liittää yhden käden taputtaminen ja Buddha?
Ja sitten kuvassa Kiina lohikäärmeenä ja Taiwan mustakarhuna, mutta tekstissä Kiinan karhunhalaus? Öh?

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.
II. No public school, school district, or public employee acting in an official capacity shall engage in the pedagogy, praxis, or inculcation of critical theories or related practices that promote division, dialectical world-views, critical consciousness, or anti-constitutional indoctrination. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) Teaching or advocating that American societal structures, including the U.S. Constitution or legal system, are inherently illegitimate or designed to perpetuate oppression based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or other identity categories. (b) Compelling students to adopt "critical consciousness" by requiring them to identify personal or societal "oppressors" and "oppressed" through lenses derived from Marxist analysis, intersectionality, or critical race theory. (c) Implementing culturally relevant or responsive pedagogy that prioritizes identity-based division over individual merit or shared American values. (d) Inculcating LGBTQt ideology, such as requiring affirmation of "gender fluidity," "non-binary" or "queer" identities, or requiring affirmation of LGBTQ+ sexuality as ethical or normative. (e) Using dialectical analysis to frame history or current events primarily as class, racial, or identity-based conflicts intended to foster division rather than resolution.
They might be banning dialectics in New Hampshire public schools

De behöver bli mindre rika, och pengarna behöver tas ur cirkulation, men skatt och att elda upp pengarna har exakt samma samhällsekonomiska funktion.
