Billions paid out for wars and death, but nothing for those that are struggling to live - going to work isn't just about earning money. It is being social with colleagues and keeping your mind positive. Being ill is often painful, isolating, always expensive and very depressing.

Trump proposes the US taking over Gaza genocide. Our media normalises it An obscene, shameless crime is proposed - and the Western media simply normalises it

Donald Trump's threat to Gaza is genocidal.

But the Western media has helped normalise it - just like they've normalised the depravity from day one.

"Anyone who didn’t do their duty for the labour market – say, people too disabled or ill to work, family carers and jobseekers – should expect very little from Labour."

Just brilliant quote from @francesryan.bsky.social on labour and it's increasingly narrow minded thinking of people.

Jeremy Corbyn: Remembering Auschwitz, Fighting Today As we mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we must remember the heroic resistance of many inmates to inspire our struggle against renewed fascism today.

Fascism doesn’t arrive in uniform overnight. It arrives with suited politicians, one piece of legislation — or executive order — at a time.

This is what genocide looks like.

It's a nazi salute.

Can we just say it.

Elon Musk did a nazi salute in front of a wildly applauding crowd.

Because he's a fucking nazi.

And so are they.

Donald Trump would have been convicted over 2020 election, special counsel report says Newly released report by Jack Smith states the ‘evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction’ of Trump had he not been elected in 2024

Staying out of jail, enriching himself and abusing power are what drive Trump.
