How To Heal When The World Is On Fire Reading by Tim Foley:

How To Heal When The World Is On Fire

We definitely don't need to wait until the bastards have been defeated and we're feeling safe and secure in order to begin our healing journey.

Well those blocs are the most pro-federalist or pro-supranationalism in the European Parliament.

Americans find it easier to mourn the death of free speech than the death of 60,000 Palestinians Americans have always been ignorant of the deadly realities of their empire. Now that genocide is being live-streamed to their phones, they have no excuse. Still, many would rather mourn the death ofโ€ฆ

60,000 Palestinians are dead.
But only when Americans lose their own freedoms do they start paying attention.

The empire turned inward โ€” and the liberal conscience flinched.

This so directly out of the Nazi playbook. The very obvious plan is to get rid of the independent accreditors and put all universities under jurisdiction of the federal government. This is how Hitler took over German academia and made it a wing of his party.

Labourโ€™s great nature sellout is the worst attack on Englandโ€™s ecosystems Iโ€™ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power.

Not so - they're still supplying weapons for Israel to continue its genocide in Gaza, pogroms in the West Bank, and attacks on neighbouring countries.

Yes, but that includes undoing Brexit; in particular, rejoining the single market and returning freedom of movement. We must have zero tolerance of bigotry including Europhobia.

Our societies rooted in capitalism and colonialism rears its ugly head in such overt ways these days where it feels unbelievable, and yet I remind myself that this has always been all by design. There is so much to say, but so much has already been said.

The average Green/LD voter sees Starmer's Labour as worse than the Tories and no worse than Reform. So they'll stick.

The EU can amend it's own treaties of course.

Because it's not accepting the truth: we need more supranationalism not less, and less economic liberalism not more. For the UK that means EU membership and Corbynism.

Trumpโ€™s Ukraine ceasefire plan: What we know so far Hereโ€™s what we know so far about the proposed Russia-Ukraine truce agreed between Marco Rubio and Volodymyr Zelenskyyโ€™s team in Saudi Arabia.

After more than three years of war, Ukraine has agreed to a US proposal for an immediate ceasefire. The 30-day truce will come into effect if Russia signs up to the same terms.

A US-UK deal would doubtless be to the detriment of Brits too, especially farmers, consumers and NHS patients.

Mark Carney will be the new PM of Canada. He was the Governor of the Bank of England who warned against Brexit. He's been proven right on Brexit, proven right on the rise of fascism, and he's being proven right on his longtime warnings against Trump.

Disabled people.

They were never going to stop at just demonising migrants.

Or the LGBT+ community.

Labour will never stop feeding the Reform machine until the very few people protected are those insulated by their wealth.
