Indigenous spaces have no desire to be void of other cultures.
It's not the Native way.
Nothing inherently wrong with being a white person of European descent. There are great people of all cultures, American/European included.
It's the colonizer culture that doesn't know how to be a guest, in equal coexistence or share.
Colonizer culture has to take everything, displace everything and control the whole world.

Rachel Reeves is promising a stronger, fairer economy. The same Rachel Reeves who last month wouldn't even say if Labour would offer the nurses a better pay deal than the Tories are offering. https://twitter.com/RachelReevesMP/status/1610696112217767956

The NHS is failing because it is not public enough
Right-wingers use today's NHS shortcomings to argue that a public health system does not work – but its failings stem from decades of pro-market reforms

Today, I realized that maths problems are the only place where someone can buy 60 watermelons and no one wonders why.

My GP surgery just sent out a message saying all non-critical care has been suspended until further notice. Is this the sunlit upland? Best not get ill.

No Plan for Utopia
But a better world is necessary
Over the break my MiL said she found it really annoying to have to pick the Aubergine (Egg Plant) from shop bought Moussaka ready meals.
I'm still laughing (but to myself).

"My daughter got to do this program and there's nothing for my son, he's missing out, that's not fair, why can't you run it for him?"
Everything in tech is already for him 🤷 I'm trying to make it so the next generation of girls don't have to be the only woman in the room.

Wholesale gas is lower today than it was 457 days ago.
Your gas bill has nearly trebled since then.
A rip off.

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Vital reading👇. The #NHS crisis is deepening by the day, people are dying unnecessarily, staff are beyond exhausted, saying they’ve never known such horrific conditions. Where the hell are you @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak? Just how bad does it have to get before you act? https://twitter.com/msbethanj/status/1610025560226373637

The only meaningful vote you have now is to not vote for the three Establishment parties.
A vote for any of them is a vote for austerity continuity.

In our neoliberal context, it’s hard to know how to approach false consciousness.
Our society views the capitalist mindset merely as an innocuous form of idealism.
Try to inject dialectical materialism into the conversation, and you’re just a “meaniepants dream crusher.”
