Anyway. It won’t happen quickly but eventually this will cripple major Florida industries when hospitality labor, construction, healthcare, and farming/fishing are decimated by illness.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

I'm just going to wait this one out. How long will it be? Ten years? Twenty? Before I come back into style again? I don't care. I'm sitting this bastard out.

I sort of appreciate the need to keep up with the times but I simply refuse to wear socks with shorts. I cannot bring myself to do it, too many years of firm belief that it is a travesty have made me unable to change. They will take my no-show socks from my cold dead fingers.

The longer Labour stays on the path to trying to win over voters from Reform, the more likely it is that Green voters and Lib Dem voters lend votes to each other to have some sort of sanity in parliament.

I've lent my vote to Labour in the past, but wouldn't do it currently.

Getting rid of McSweeney is the necessary condition for survival (albeit not a sufficient one). Labour has to wake up and understand that the majority of the electorate are still voting Labour, Lib Dem or Green, but to avoid a catastrophe, people will need to want to lend their votes to one of them

I'm all for another ginger prime minister, but we need a warrior right now, carrying the battle to Reform at Midlothian. And someone who ACTUALLY believes in "reform", rather than corrupting that word...

I agree, it shouldn’t, but let’s see how long they last until the next GE. If people start feeling and seeing the good that Labour’s doing, Refirm will be consigned to the dustbin like the Tories.

If only someone can get them all in a room, explain this to them and show how they can win this war. They need to have more confidence in themselves.

Our cover this week

“Europe should take heart and recognise its own strength. Its military budget is already four times larger than Russia’s; its economy is ten times larger. Far from shying away from a financial contest with the Kremlin, Europe should embrace it—and win the war”

Great read from @iandunt.bsky.social on whether Starmer should stay or go, including the mystery of how, if you’re launching a popular climate, energy, and growth strategy, why wouldn’t you stage a press conference on it?

Another, less important, reason is that “attacking your opponents relentlessly“ is a) part of how you frame them but also b) how you refine what works and what the best way to land that attack IS.

This is why pushback matters. When forced to actually defend racism they get into a muddle. (See also Tory ILR plans).

There is always money for war, never for the poor.

Every penny spent on bombs, tanks and missiles is stolen from our homes, schools and hospitals.

We are not going to take it anymore.

"To say 'Zelenskyy is no friend of the working class' is an insulting, facile distraction from the fact that Sultana refuses to support the Ukrainian people’s fight for existence."

Proper cold fury and moral clarity from @paulmason.bsky.social on Sultana.
