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.
Adding to the increasing global threat to women's reproductive rights, new UK police guidance allows officers to search womenβs 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.

Fuck you, Donold.

I paper headline: Musk's using far-right hate to sell adverts
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.

* Not climate leadership

"Transport is the largest single contributor to the UKβs 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!
