Feminist, lefty, anti-racist Londoner. Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Those that do know history are doomed to watch on helplessly as everyone else repeats it.

Police could search homes and phones after pregnancy loss | The Observer New national guidance suggests officers look for menstrual tracking apps or abortion drugs

Adding to the increasing global threat to women's reproductive rights, new UK police guidance allows officers to search women’s homes, phones, & health apps after a miscarriage or stillbirth.

This isn't about protecting life.

It's about controlling women.

In 1970 someone in the richest 0.01% was 42x richer than the average person.

In 2000 they were 600x richer than the average person.

Now it is over 2000x.

Making the rich richer, makes YOU poorer.

One thing you notice as a feminist is that feminism gets linked to, and implicitly blamed, for every malignant political force or failure. Feminism becomes a collaborator with empire, a driver of neoliberalism, a motivator for the carceral state. Malignant and all powerful, yet never defined.

Hi, I'm God.

I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone.

Fuck you, Donold.

🚨Huge, dangerous developments getting little coverage.

1. DOJ has killed off its anti-corruption unit. It seized billions in assets from corrupt Russian oligarchs.

2. FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force has been disbanded. It fights foreign interference in US democracy.

PUTIN WON THE US ELECTION

The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China.

They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.

Reform voters (15% of the GB electorate) are the real outlier in supporting far more lenient treatment of those convicted.

Opposition to Twitter is starting to snowball in the UK. The media are starting to turn against Musk. His civil war comment and implicit support for the fascist rioters is going to bite him in the arse.

NEW: Labour Government gives London City Airport expansion the go-ahead

* Not climate leadership
* Is Labour continuing to fall for weak aviation industry arguments about growth & emissions?
* Meanwhile climate change threatens security

"Transport is the largest single contributor to the UK’s carbon emissions"
Good to see the Sec. for Transport acknowledging that "we are in a climate crisis" & promoting cycle lanes/active transport... but shame on Labour to have agreed to a London City Airport expansion, against the CCC's advice!
