Happy #SocialistSunday! To connect with fellow socialists and lefties, reply to this post, re-post & follow each other from replies. Let’s help each other fight for our causes ❤️ I follow back. #palestine #socialism #socialist #libsoc #ancom #ecosocialist #NHS #climatechange #revleft #disability

"Not a wheel turns, not a phone rings, not a light bulb shines, without the kind permission of the working class. Once this enormous power is mobilized, no force on Earth can stop it." -Ted Grant Happy #SocialistSunday!

Yes I have a chronic illness. No I’m not faking it. I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t cause it. You may not be able to see my illness, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Don’t judge what you don’t know.

Class war against poor, disabled, and working people being waged by the world’s richest man.

Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

Stop demonising chronically ill people. Chronically ill & disabled people do not claim benefits because it’s easy. It’s not. We are not lazy. We can only do what our bodies allow us to. Many can’t get jobs because many employers are reluctant to hire disabled people.

BBC slammed for pulling film that 'humanised Palestinian children' - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/bbc-slammed-pulling-film-humanised-palestinian-children

The irony 🤣

How Spain’s radically different approach to migration helped its economy soar www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

I want to make this perfectly clear: If my friends lose rights, and you celebrate that, or are even okay with it, you are no friend of mine.

The best girl ever…this was how she woke me up this morning…by standing on my boobs 😂 can’t believe she’ll be 15 soon! #seniorcat #catsofbluesky #bskycats #skycats #catsky

Spain, with a Socialist led government, has a growing economy, of which the renewable market is a healthy part. Also these figures are worthy of note - look how Cuba has managed,despite a 60yr embargo by USA⬇️ #socialism #capitalism #billionaires

No-one is born racist, ableist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc. Bigots learn it from adults when they are young & take it into adulthood. It is fanned by the media & certain politics. A sign of maturity would be to challenge those views if you hold them, but sadly most won't.

"Of those on ESA or universal credit with no work-related activity requirements – those facing the highest barriers to employment – 39 per cent had a post-tax monthly household income that was less than £1,080" www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-research... via Disability News Service

Is it me, or does Duolingo not teach you how to speak different languages properly? On the speaking exercises, you can mangle it badly and it still tells you that you passed. My reading and listening skills are fine but need a LOT of work on pronunciation. Time to look for physical classes, I think!

Strangest theory ever from the far-right: that “wokeism” causes people to use ableist (and transphobic, sexist, homophobic, racist etc) slurs 🤦‍♀️ it’s always someone else’s fault, never the one making the slurs 🤦‍♀️

Don’t be trash! Don’t be: Transphobic Racist Ableist Sexist Homophobic

@chronicnotebook How to empathise with chronically ill people (it's not that hard) 1. Remember a time you were sick 2. Imagine feeling that way every day 3. Imagine how that would impact every aspect of your life 4. Add on doctors and people you know acting like it's your fault 5. Empathise

The irony of Vance railing against the “restriction of free speech” in Europe when his own country is censoring free speech and taking away the rights of several groups of people. 🤦‍♀️ we shouldn’t take any lessons from fascists.

Miss me with that “one clove of garlic” BS. The whole damn bulb is going in. #SpanishCooking

Elon Musk performing a Nazi salute, stirring up racial hatred & cutting cancer care is not because he’s autistic. Trump plotting to steal countries, scrapping DEI, being homophobic & racist isn’t because he’s mentally ill or has dementia. It’s because they’re both fascists.

Far-right populists much more likely than the left to spread fake news – study www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The disabled: scapegoats of both Tories and Labour.

Curbing the power of billionaires to influence politics is a vote winner. It’s also free. Why does Labour say it isn’t a priority? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/690...

Anti-austerity and anti-war candidates are needed to fight against cuts and for decent local services for all in the May elections, which, despite today's cancellations, still impact 15 million people! New directory at bit.ly/410LldH Apply to #TUSC bit.ly/4jIVfId

Hi I've just joined here and am looking for comrades to connect with. If you're on the left please let me know so my baby account can grow #socialism #marxism #endtheduopoly

I feel it ALL.

Are you marching yet?

UK tax administration costs spiralling due to complex system, says watchdog. More people pay income tax as thresholds frozen. Over 1,140 tax reliefs given to rich/corporations with little cost-benefit analysis. Can reduce complexity - tax capital gains, dividends at same rate as wages.

Build more council owned homes, scrap the right to buy for any new house built, create mixed and vibrant communities by offering a tiered level so different income brackets live on the same estates. Offer a genuinely affordable rent system - with an option to those who want a mortgage / rent hybrid.

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell. But they can lock up non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors for more than 60 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Video: NHS and Israel contractor boasts about killing people for profit. Palantir CEO Alex Karp - who has huge contract to manage NHS data - says he's sure shareholders are 'enjoying this as much as I am'...

New Marxist retro-meme for #socialistsunday

Anti-CGRPs have changed my life. I went from 20+ migraine days a month to just 5 migraine days a month. All other treatments failed. I pay for it - it’s approved for use on the NHS, but most people can’t access it. Many people can’t work because they can’t get the meds they need. #chronicmigraine

This is the dumbest parallel universe ever
