What happens when your a simp for this current Tory government.

#OtD 8 Mar 1979 women who had participated in the Iranian revolution took to the streets with the slogan: "We did not make a revolution to go back!" The protest came shortly after the announcement of a law making wearing of the hijab mandatory stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...

The United States has undermined democracy & supported some of the worst autocratic, totalitarian regimes everywhere it has went. It's interests are to expand its corporate economic agenda worldwide & it's hegemonic influence - not "democracy," "human rights," or respect for "national sovereignty."

What the government can’t afford:

❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance

What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.

Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster?

They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel.

Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.

'They attack disabled, migrants, travellers, homeless - next they attack you"

Meanwhile Putin is laughing his head off. With Trump heralding Monroe Doctrine 2.0 (the US does what it likes in its 'hemisphere'), legitimising annexation of places close and distant, and violating every verdict of the Int Courts, Putin's annexations are fully normalised.

Trump, Hosting Netanyahu, Says Palestinians Should Leave Gaza: Live Updates

"Leave or die' Trump tells the Palestinians of Gaza, endorsing the war crime of ethnic cleansing as official US policy. Europe now has to make its choice: Leave NATO immediately or forever be remembered as Trump's lieutenant in this crime against humanity www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

🚨 BREAKING: Oscar nominee Basel Adra is currently surrounded by dozens of masked Israeli settlers carrying out a terror attack on Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank. They are throwing stones, smashing vehicles, and slashing tires with knives.

They didn't go away. You just haven't been paying attention for the past 15 months of a Democrat incumbent that knew Israel was committing genocide, but nonetheless gave it unprecedented levels of support to completely wipe Gaza off the map and mass-murder hundreds of thousands. So uninformed.

The journalists' job (very seldom discharged) is to hold power to account, *regardless of the nature of that power*. But when I criticise the failings of this government, I get widely told to leave it alone for fear of letting in the Tories/Reform. Sorry. Accountability is the essence of democracy.

Hope more are beginning to realise that the UK is not a functioning democracy, and has long been a police state.

From yesterdays protest in London.

Fifa rejects request for monitoring of migrant workers’ conditions in Saudi Arabia Trade union ITUC-Africa had requested more oversight of World Cup 2034 projects but Fifa argued measures are sufficient and that it planned to ‘engage constructively’ on the issue

Today in the cartoonishly evil entity that is FIFA: they rejected request for monitoring of migrant workers’ conditions in Saudi Arabia www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Trump will not be the last trump. The voting booth cannot be the only line of defense against this fascism. The end is already here if the US is this susceptible to collapse as a democratic state each & every election. This is the single most pressing & largely ignored lesson from his 1st term.

Coca Cola is going back to its fascist roots.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

No mention of UK arms sales that have enabled the genocide in Gaza.

Free Palestine.

Word coming in from the Ubited States: "looks like Mexico needs some freedom..."

In all seriousness, what a breath of fresh air - in comparison to the likes of Keir Starmer, Joe Biden, Donald Trump... etc.

Local reporting, on local issues, using locally-based journalists, funded by the local community, is always superior in contrast larger news outlets that "parachute" journalists from outside the community, and which are funded by large corporations and require bureaucratic government approval.

Carter Championed Human Rights While Supporting Genocide in East Timor We continue to reflect on Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy with history professor Brad Simpson. Despite presiding over an administration that stood out for its successful championing of human rights elsewhere...

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

If his record was that stellar then why did Schumer, Pelosi, Obama... et al., all force him to drop out of the race? Schumer is such a bare-faced lying disgrace - part of the problem that nurtured an opening for the oligarchs and neo-fascists to exploit. He should be forced out of his position.

🚨 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Update:

The Israeli military informed Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHRI) this morning that they have no record of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention.

PHRI had requested this information to arrange a lawyer’s visit on January 2, on behalf of his family.

Who can defend Bashar after watching broken hearted mothers searching for proof of life among the ruins of his torture chambers.
