Every week I get several emails from people asking "what should I do?". Everyone can contribute in different ways, but the basics are fairly straightforward: join a union, work toward the creation of a mass-based ecosocialist party, and develop anti-imperialist solidarities.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

If you want to sign a petition that requires Parliament to respond,sign one on the Parliament website. For example, one might "Remove charitable status from Destiny Church".

I have been off welfare for 12 years now & still every shitty news story where the govt makes beneficiaries out to be the bad guys who should try harder fills me with cold dread. People are deserving of dignity and housing and food and medicine and fucking menstrual products!

I remember thinking it would be immensely satisfying when Mitch McConnell inevitably lost his grip on power and became irrelevant. But it’s actually just grim. The current situation is his ghoulish legacy, but him realizing that and feebly trying to stop the train is pathetic and pointless.
