WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unapologetically sports a cross of gold to bear false witness in support of her serial 10 Commandments breaking boss.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt doing her best every day to twist the cross into a swastika.

Who is this “god” they worship? This god of guns but not of grace. This god of greed but not generosity. This god of the womb but not of the woman. This god who cannot hear children cry. This god who fears dark skin. This god of America but not all of America?

That's the Devil, yo.

And people vote for politicians like Joni? Unbelievable

brilliant

You’ve been warned. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🌮

Important thread thanks Emma

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Everyone should read this & understand that working people have been conned and robbed by neoliberalism

Now we have poor folks served by 2500 foodbanks and greedy olygarchs buying democracy and our freedom.

It’s getting close to treachery of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social principles values history and legacy
Build on foundational values you can make principle choices, rip out your foundations you are no long who you are,lost your anchorage, vision,mission & values

Protests against these rubicon-crossing cuts to disability benefits tmrw... still feels as if the gravity of the decision (and what it says about the govt) is being underplayed/overlooked

No but i would

If we don't respond, the answers will be dominated by the very people who got us into this mess.
Decisions about land use all too often fall prey to reactionary politics.
So please, even if only briefly, fill out the consultation form.
Thanks.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society.

(my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

No excuse for Labour’s disability cuts, all while wealth at the very top explodes…

We discuss this, plus Reform’s amusing implosion

It’s all on the latest episode of @thetrawl.bsky.social

A Disabled by Society graphic by Disabled by Society serving 12 narratives to unlearn about disability. The dark-themed design features colorful icons and text debunking common misconceptions: 1. "Disability is a tragedy" – A broken violin. 2. "Productivity defines worth" – A bar chart with an upward arrow and gears. 3. "Disabled people are a burden" – A person carrying a money bag labeled "Cost." 4. "Inclusion is optional" – A hand pressing a checkmark button. 5. "Disabled lives need fixing" – A person running with a wrench. 6. "Access is a privilege" – A stick figure inside a circle. 7. "All disability is visible" – A person in a wheelchair. 8. "Disability equals suffering" – A person holding their head with pain lines. 9. "We 'overcome' disability" – A person holding a flag on a mountain. 10. "Independence means success" – A hand holding a waving flag. 11. "Adjustments are special treatment" – A hand adjusting a scale. 12. "Disability is not normal" – A hand making an "OK" gesture with sparkles.

I’ve never seen it put so succinctly before! Even as a disabled person myself, I struggle a lot with internalized ableism.

These 12 all two common narratives about disability can be difficult to unlearn, but that work is important.

At Prime Minister's Questions, I called on the Prime Minister not to cut support for disabled people and instead to introduce a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Its hard being a @stokecityfc.bsky.social fan. Sending love to this fellow dad come on Stoke youve got to give us and our kids somthing to cheer !

The Frightening Intersection of Christian Nationalism and Techno-Fascism For the cults of Silicon Valley, the end of our humanity is only the beginning.

A “fascist system of corporate fiefdoms, a form of techno-authoritarianism, would allow billionaires like Thiel & Musk to pursue their pet projects, such as attempting to colonize space or engineer immortality, without the pesky oversight of governments.” 1/
