Because the world around them is so frigid and fraught. Intellectual disability doesn't need to come with a side of mental illness. That's a political & societal choice. #mentalhealth

Talented Artist Kate Tulett is running daily workshops so you can create protest art at Byline Festival, Keele University, 11-13 July We’re going to build a phenomenal exhibition of festival protest art. Plus there are talks, films, comedy and music bylinefestival.com

"As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage." @kneecapceol.bsky.social respond to the UK terrorism charge. nialler9.com/kneecap-memb...

🧵I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about kindness since I've moved here to Aotearoa New Zealand and would like to share some thoughts. (Please bear with me!): 1. Kindness is learned. It's not innate. People are taught kindness by other people. We are creatures that learn by example.

Ramaphosa eloquent and bemused but Trump isn't speaking to him really is he? This is dangerous stuff

How is this still happening? How are we still debating whether Gaza’s children deserve food? How are we still pretending this is complicated? #Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza...

What a night! And props to Jose Breton for a blindin' photo www.theguardian.com/football/202... #Spurs

An own goal brewing. A flag is a terrorist offence but a genocide isn't terrorist enough for the Brits? Deflection on a grand scale. And it will fail. 'Cos these lads are smart www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Class and dignity in everything.

No one has a right to genocide. A two state solution isn't possible when one state isn't recognized and isn't allowed to have food or water. We need to call out world leaders trying to fall back on old talking points while a genocide is being broadcast before our eyes with the west's complicity

Was really touched to win Journalist of the Year at the Scope Awards last night. I used my remote acceptance speech to call for “accurate and dignified” coverage of the upcoming disability cuts. Also pledged to get “PIP is not an out of work benefit” tattooed on my face.

I remember when Labour won and there was all that "finally the adults are in charge again" stuff. It's been a real surprise to learn they were the adults from the A Series of Unfortunate Events books, though

In two important ways Labour empowered Nigel Farage and Faragism this week. Both were strategic mistakes. We’ve seen this story before. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Every bomb dropped, every child killed, bears the stain of British complicity. This genocide is made possible by the UK, US, and EU — arming, funding and shielding Israel as it massacres with impunity. How do those responsible sleep at night?

Not sure he would have goje for this headline. He was so much more than that. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m... #RIPDuncanCampbell

Can’t get this jam outta my head — now, you won’t be able to either. Sigh..Our Joy, through it all 🤠✊🏽

Reform is a Limited Company Farage owns 53% It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit” It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget It wants to privatise the NHS & invest in fossil fuels Close the BBC & break International law It’s a scam Please retweet widely

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Ooooh somebody touched a nerve!

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

But debt is good no? Am sure that's what I hear my kids being told as endless companies try to get them to take a credit card.

Have a young one on PIP. On an employability scheme thanks to PIP. Not losing their mind about bills, thanks to PIP. May be offered a job thanks to PIP. Just what is it that Kendall would like to do that PIP isn't already doing? www.disabilitynewsservice.com/kendall-refu... #PIP

Joe Louis Walker, a blues master and musical omnivore whose snarling guitar work, gritty vocals and introspective songwriting earned him the praise of Herbie Hancock, Mick Jagger and many others over a six-decade career, died on April 30.

Starmer is as Noam Chomsky predicted being obsequious to power. He genuinely thinks he is a reformer and there lies the danger. He is no longer listening to or hearing the voters. Ours is not the gallery he is playing to... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
