As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency.
When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House.
Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

Benjamin Zephaniah on his refusal to accept an OBE.
'No way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.'
Today marks one year since he passed away. A man of integrity. Rest in power.

Just to be clear: I won’t be having cosy chats with Nigel Farage — who named Enoch Powell his political hero, claimed he “would never say Powell was racist in any way” & allegedly marched through a Sussex village chanting Hitler Youth songs.
No thanks.
No thanks.

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew
As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored

In May, we issued a demand for the incoming British government to uphold the judgements of the ICC and ICJ.
We reiterate our demand today.
The UK must enforce these warrants and unequivocally support all efforts towards justice.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
The UK government must comply with the ICC, end all arms sales, impose economic sanctions & suspend its trade deal with Israel.
Nothing less will do.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

On this day, in 1922, Shapurji Saklatvala was elected as the MP for Battersea North. He was Labour's first MP of colour. A communist and anti-colonialist, he was a founder member of the Workers' Welfare League and attempted to unionise Indian seafarers in Britain's port cities.
