Remember guys, until everything is perfect, don't do anything. At all. Do not flinch. Always wait until everything is perfect before acting. Always.

I'll catch you at your funeral in the same spot you're in now.

You cannot understand what the United States is doing in the Caribbean and especially in Venezuela without knowing the history of the American empire’s obsession with resource extractive capitalism of Indigenous Brown & Black nations under the guise of benevolent interventionism.

Lot to be said against the way the current House of Lords is made up, but sometimes, as here, they do provide the main check on preventing hideous legislation getting through.
This government is off the rails with its increasingly draconian legislation.

#ForestFriday
Trees next to the road 🌳🌈💚
Much weather here this cold afternoon and even more than this double rainbow on my way 🌬️🌦️🌈

Happy Friday, have a good time 🦋✌️💙✨

The edge of a forest in the sunlight and a harvested cornfield next to a road. Trees mostly green and yellow, dark branches to the left. Above an overcast sky with two rainbows.

If the general public understood that resident doctors are simply asking for £22ph and for jobs to be available for them to specialise in - instead of having cost the taxpayer £250k to then have to drive Ubers and leave wards hideously short staffed - the govt would lose the argument overnight.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Good to hear Alun Davis admitting on #r4today that chasing Reform and this government's outright hostility towards refugees played a part in the hammering Labour just took in Caerphilly.

I suspect that some in Westminster will see it as a reason to go harder against marginalised groups though.

'Centrists' are masters of self-deception: post-fascists who mistake their selfish, fear-fueled instincts for self-evident 'commonsense'; they'll drag the Overton Window as far to the Right as we let them get away with, and sing their own praises to anyone who'll listen.

“Bollocks to Brexit” plumber Charlie Mullins threw his lot in with Farage a while back, so there is a precedent but it does make you wonder how far some of these megaphones for fine causes who garner big followings are motivated by conviction or simply expediency.
