Got to love Celtic fans. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 #Fromtherivertothesea

I’ve never played baseball.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

It's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.

I live in Great Britain, an island between Ireland and the European mainland. We have an insufferable amount of advertising across social media platforms, it's Gordon Brown's fault, encouraging people to gamble. I think we should ban advertising for gambling, as we do for drinking and smoking.

I never thought I'd do this, but I think I'm just going to throw the HP books in the bin. I was always of the opinion that a child should just read, whatever the material. But I suppose this is mein kampf level nonsense.

These are the people who blocked me after this post btw

Fuck you, Gayle. We got people not able to afford groceries here on the ground. Has she never heard "Whitey on the Moon"?

A fact which is as evident as our opinion is not needed by the courts of the land

When Sinn Féin in the 6 threw trans people under the British terf bus recently there may have still been some doubt where they're at. This removes any doubt. This is a Sinn Féin TD arguing for the removal of Irish citizen's rights using a British court decision in aid of that position. #Ireland

Trans rights arguments are a kind of signal that we make to show cis people that we matter and our lives matter and our suffering matters and our social exclusion matters. But you can ignore all of those things just as easily as you can ignore our arguments. In the end we just say no. Let us be.

I appreciate UK schools, FE colleges and universities are on Easter break currently, but if you have supervisory or pastoral responsibility for Trans, non-binary or other LGBQ+ students and are concerned about their welfare after today's ruling, a brief check-in message may be reassuring for them.

Trans and non-binary people do not require anyone's permission to exist and if it must be in defiance of the same system that allows internment and state murder then be in no doubt that you are on the side of light and your comrades are with you to the bitter end.

If the state turns its back, remember you can help by being supportive and understanding where others aren’t.

Never had a cheesy international pop no 1 but is a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. This is one of the many strong talented women I can admire

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.

*taps mic* Hey Millenials! You know what we're not gonna do? We're not gonna fucking watch that new HBO Harry Potter show because R*owling is a reprehensible human/transphobe/acephobe and we're not giving her money. Okay? OKAY?! Yes, I mean *you*. Also read a different book. Hell, *write* one.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

happy #SocialistSunday

Quite wonderful find by this FT team. A Chinese small business that makes MAGA merch on.ft.com/4cAH6tE
