We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life.

And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.
David Lynch said , and I think this is a quote, but you know... "there are no original stories but this is the first time you get to tell it." I love that so much.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

It terrifies me how unequal the distribution of wealth is and how fast the money is changing hands daily.

I do not think for a minute the Westminster politicians realise how bad the cost of living crisis is. On benefits people can scarcely afford food and rent, let alone energy. In work people can maybe JUST afford it. But no treats. Forget holidays.

Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

we will not insure your poxy houses, flee your homes peasants, climate change is upon us.

also insurers:

we will continue to insure oil and gas companies, assets, and investments.

The Trump administration is intentionally increasing your energy bills to pay back fossil fuel campaign donors.

@whitehouse.senate.gov exposes this corruption in a must-watch speech on the Senate floor.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.
Companies ask for your Honorifics in forms so they are able to establish:

Your Gender
Your Marital Status
Your Freakiness
But Labour support the principle of human rights... not the practice of them though

Israel is still preventing aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza

Israel is still collectively punishing the entire civilian population to pressure Hamas

It is still a crime against humanity to withhold aid from civilians

Is perfect competition real or just a dream? youtu.be/o5GMMiPKvPc?... Economists still cling to the fantasy of perfect competition — the idea that markets are full of small, powerless firms playing fair. But the real world is dominated by oligopolies, monopolies and brand empires.

It is not even 'cannot afford' said items. I just feel like I am being conned by an absolute bunch of sharks who treat their customers like mugs.
I think there 9 inch shit tasting Pizza Express pizza, "reduced" to 3.95 from 6.35 was what did it for me. These tossers are fleecing us for billions.
Got halfway round my local Tesco express and just dropped my basket mid aisle and walked out in disgust (sorry workers there). So fucking expensive. Bunch of absolute cunts. We should flash mob their agm.

As cheap, plentiful #solar power floods the grid in the middle of the day, hundreds of #battery installations bank the energy and discharge it in the evening when people return home from work and demand — as well as prices — spike.

ICE must be destroyed and every single one of these fascists imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives.

That is the compromise position. 🤬
ICE thugs beating and kidnapping peacefully kneeling protesters
I think the super rich, drunk on the potential of AI, are quite happy to bunker down and emerge from hell after 7 years to cull the survivors and claim little corners of paradise.

Their options are that, or give up privileges and admit they were wrong about nearly everything.
Here is an idea, every insurer that is exposed either directly, or through its investments in oil and gas, should be forced to offer affordable insurance to homeowners exposed to flood risk.

what’s whitney houston’s favourite type of coordination?

I quite enjoyed Ancestors by Alice Roberts, which talks about diversity and span of time as reasons to avoid over-arching simplifications... and Sverker Johansen's Dawn of Language is great
