Didn't you fully buy into the Corbyn smears that facilitated this shitshow though? That's my recollection.

US communities seriously need to start collectively opposing these ICE black shirt pricks. Like all fascists they are cowardly bullies. stand up to them as big community units. Solidarity with your neighbours is essential in these times.

"The family remained silent in their vehicle, following advice widely given to undocumented immigrants, but residents and council members say that federal agents continue to violate the law." "'Immigration agents and other agents are taking actions that are illegal.'"

the only thing the Labour party is doing a really good job at right now is proving all of us loony-left "corbynistas" right about how much of a spineless establishment stooge Keir Starmer is.

I've never read anything in my life that unsettled me more than when I read Melville's story Bartleby the Scrivener at age 13

There's a lot of stereotypes about musicians being toxic/problematic people but i've got to say youtubers are giving us a serious run for our money

the number of people on the internet who want to be writers but don't actually read books is both astounding and monumentally depressing

I fucking hate Keir Starmer. I called it from the beginning; he's a tory scumbag through and through. Scapegoating immigrants and benefits claimants and trans people. Spineless, soulless ghoul in a suit. How is it democracy when no matter who you vote for you get this.

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

Back in my 20's a favourite watering hole was The Cask Inn on Valley Road & there often used to be this indie-lad styled guy there with a reputation for sleazing on young ladies. For reasons lost to time & drunkeness we nicknamed him "the stooge". Just saw him on my walk home. Blast from the past.

it's great being a working class northerner in the UK. The middle-class liberals all make you out to be thick and bigoted to justify ignoring you and the right wing all make you out to be thick and bigoted because those are the kind of voters they want in their corner. fucking grim

From a musicians perspective, I’ve no clue who’s advocating for us right now… most of our orgs and trade bodies align with Labour, some of them even chaired by (failed) Labour MPs… And yet Labour are doing absolutely nothing for us.

this labour government is bat-shit insane and a genuine threat to our democracy. 'policy exchange' is just the heritage foundation - the ppl responsible for the fascist government in the united states.

The amount of virulent classism I see every day on the internet coming from supposedly progressive people and going completely unchallenged by supposedly progressive people is truly depressing. It's a good thing my own progressive beliefs are as unshakeable as they are or I would be so checked out.

So Virginia Giuffre, one of the prominent accusers in the allegations against Prince Andrew has died of apparent suicide. This is deeply sad and also incredibly disturbing. Solidarity with victims forever.

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

Always funny to me when people assume that if you like art that is in the least bit challenging/non-mainstream you are being disingenuous and just saying so to sound smart. No. Some of us just don't want to be fed mindless, generic corporate sludge
