The US has the highest maternal mortality of any developed country … and it’s about to get a lot worse.

Why? Pregnant women are afraid to go to the hospital for care.

They’re labouring at home alone because ICE will grab them as soon as they give birth.

This is dystopian.

Fingers crossed you’ll be singing the blues!

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

what ‘link’?

there is no link

Happy b’day, “Give Me the Night” — the iconic LP released by George Benson 45 yrs ago today

“After a month in the studio,” he said, “I’d packed my bags when Quincy [Jones] called & said they had one more song for me. I wanted to go home but he insisted: “Man, it’s a good song. It won’t take long.”

Israeli strike on Gaza church kills three and injures priest Pope Francis called daily Pope Leo renews ceasefire call after strike on territory’s only Catholic church

Genocide. Children queuing for water mown down. Now Catholic church bombed. As a Jew I know this is so wrong. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Perhaps I've missed others, but Zack Polanski is literally the only British politician I've heard on mainstream media give a vaguely serious response to this 'controversy'. It's really been a trip through the looking-glass today.

Lastly, sth on heterodox economics would be refreshing! We need a generation inspired to work collectively, not in siloes 👀

- If they want an unusual angle, books on UK music of the last 40y will tell an alternative story of each angle of P, P and E

eg. work of Akala, Brixton riots / Specials - Ghost Town; and the Criminal Justice Act and Castlemorton raves

- Any/all of Hilary Cottam’s work esp Radical Help
- have been reading Darren McGarvey’s ‘The Social Distance Between Us’ some interesting takes on the welfare state
- Adam Curtis’ latest doc ‘Shifty’ well worth a look

Did a very different degree (medicine at cambridge) but feel strongly that public sector reform + climate will dominate politics in next gen, and that interdisciplinary skills will be key. To that end:

It's wild to me is so few people who are not Disabled include Disability in their politics at all. Current proposed cuts are based on 3 baseless zombie ideas

1. There is somehow a 'correct' amount of Disabled people who need support

2. Disability can be precisely measured

3. Spending is too high

Nice
to see a fellow bluenose on here Sunder. Hope to make it up for a match next season!

Rough sleeping to be decriminalised in England and Wales The government plans to scrap the Vagrancy Act and bring in laws to focus on crimes like organised begging by gangs.

Rough sleeping to be decriminalised in England and Wales. 1824 law to be repealed.

About time.

Must attend to causes of homelessness - poverty, power of landlords, low benefits.

Must provide public shelters for those on hard times, reintegrate people on hard times.

Solidarity with the Madleen activists unlawfully detained by Israel whilst attempting to deliver aid to Gaza.

The Madleen is a British-flagged ship. Our government must do everything in its power to push Israel to release the crew, lift its aid blockade and end the genocide.

"We are being lured into that most destructive of myths: that the essential human position is as an individual purchaser acquiring desirable goods – not a contributor to the building of a trustworthy network of relations, dependable enough to allow more people to become active&generous contributors"

‘not needy, but needed’ a brilliant reframing of our role as professionals

#StrongerThings

pleased to be at #StrongerThings2025 today, to imagine, to connect, to understand and to listen.

@wearenewlocal.bsky.social

I think you’re right Charlie. I see this with cynicism in response
to new ideas.

Hi Donna and Andrew. Keen to understand more about this - really see need for improvement in aspects of emergency care, but don’t know where to start.

Will either of you be at #StrongerThings @wearenewlocal.bsky.social on Tuesday?

@profdonnahall.bsky.social
@andrewlaird.bsky.social

Good take on this Robbie. Some work needed for me on ensuring I have CPD and carry on learning

Would love to be added thanks Jess 😇

Overnight, Israel bombed homes and tents in Gaza, killing nearly 100 people.

Our government should have acted long ago to prevent this genocide by sanctioning Israel, ending arms sales, and upholding international law.

The longer we fail to act, the more our complicity grows.

Will be at the community EM conf next month if you’re about?
