Teen Vogue does it again. The leader in justice journalism. Instead of amplifying police talking points, they profile 11 young Chicago leaders & give them the mic. On how to achieve safety. "Punitive systems only create more cycles of trauma & violence.” A thread of their wisdom:

My colleague noticed this sign in the bathroom at Alan Turing institute.
Apologies Green Plenty folks
I had a cache that got full and nothing would start so had to do some surgery. This is why the images are not available and you have to click through.

Whatever they're paid they're worth at least 10 times more than your salary. They genuinely contribute towards the running of the country.
Whereas you parrot propaganda. https://twitter.com/toryboypierce/status/1560177654568976385

Some comments and thoughts after being on the receiving end of various interview processes
The vicissitudes of interviews:
Plutocrat wealth creates black holes in society that suck resources and monopolise decision making away from the rest of us. We must move away from the peculiar distortions created by this wealth by abolishing it. You often see the phrase tax the rich - but have you thought past this a little? It implies the rich, with their black hole wealth warping and tearing the world - wrecking it for the rest of us, should still exist but be a bit nicer ...

So British people are being warned to avoid dozens of beaches around the coast after water companies pumped raw sewage into the sea at multiple locations.
Those Brexit benefits just keep rolling along don't they?

It has been class war for a long time, for those at the back.
You need to pick your side.

‘I’m just tall’ became something of a catchphrase last night. But it does beg the question - if a group of benignly curious queer people can’t tell, how will the self-appointed toilet police? https://twitter.com/_natashadevon/status/1560063322720030720
From Anne Pettifor:
Asset price inflation and the consequent rise in the wealth of the 1% is so normalised, it is scarcely discussed – even by the 99%. But we have lived through forty years of what Whitney Baker rightly calls “hyperfinancialisation” and an orgy of money-funded speculation. “We know nothing but relentless asset appreciation.”
The rich cannot believe their forty years of ‘easy money’ luck.

This is one of the most important things you will see this year, possibly this decade if not longer. Listen and learn.

Yes! Personally I regard it as a day wasted when I haven't cancelled history, values and women. In a woke kind of a way, obviously. https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1559607663792721927
