People often suggest opposing abortion and supporting the death penalty is a contradiction. I'm here to tell you that it's the exact same thing. https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1553049882516127744

A better policy would be to not be so obsessed with Oxbridge https://twitter.com/DrEvanHarris/status/1553705277488304128
Vastly outnumbering your rulers but choosing not to overthrow them because you think the status quo might someday make you wealthy is the same as having all the power in the world and trading it away for a lottery ticket

From Ursula K. Le Guin:
“For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”

What did Giles Coren do to lose his job? Cos there was that time he publicly threatened to stab someone and faced zero repercussions from it

So not only did Trump solicit campaign contributions off his ex-wife’s death, he’s getting a huge tax exemption by burying her on his golf course.
He really is the most horrible man in the world.

My monthly State Pension of £647, which I paid into for 50 years, has been credited to my account. How the hell am I supposed to pay a £500 electric bill in January out of that?🤷♂️

Corbyn was focused on getting into power when you and 171 other right-wing Labour MPs were focused on sabotaging Corbyn.
Corbyn was focused on getting into power when you were protesting for a #PeoplesVote that cost Labour 52 Leave-voting seats.
You're now focused on lying. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1553470242331967492

It's grimly ironic how the US told us it was invading Afghanistan to save women and girls... and now it's starving them by freezing $7,000,000,000 of the country's assets.

#OtD 30 Jul 1766 silver miners in Real Del Monte, Mexico, went on strike against a 25% pay cut in the first recorded strike against an employer in North American history. The employers finally caved in September. This is a history of the strike: https://libcom.org/history/1766-the-real-del-monte-miners-strike

Nationalise fucking everything, at this point. Energy, transport, water, supermarkets, ALL healthcare. Regulate it, make it affordable to all, bring public services back into public ownership, because after all, it is the public who pays for it. It every sense of the word.

I don’t hate the rich, but I do hate injustice, greed, racketeering, abuse, exploitation, narcissism, self interest, and those who fertilise their green shoots of economic recovery with the decomposing bodies of the dead, coldly murdered by a culture of capitalist indifference.
RT @bullshitjobs
Dear @ciaraCnugent, @TIME, 3-4 billion non-contributing #bullshitjobs are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing #climatechange, pandemics and "inflation". Please address root causes.

If they don't keep telling us that Ukraine can win, it makes it harder for them to keep stealing our money
... this is not a quirky startup with a niche audience, but unregulated and lethal financial software that functions only to take money from retail investors and send it upwards. Every time the media has humored these concepts as cute, or early, or acted as if the scams are “rare” and the majority of the industry operates in good faith, they have been complicit in creating meaningful financial harm to millions of people.
RT @AngharadWatson
@LucyGoBag I also enjoy the whole "no British PM has ever had to deal with this" and all the cries of "unprecedented!" as if Lloyd George wasn't PM 1916-22, dealing with (checks notes) a world war and a pandemic.
They mean no Conservative PM.
