Is it time for a #BDS style boycott of all things American? Quite hard when using computers, both hardware and software? Could boot up the spectrum 48k?

UK public services face cuts of up to 11% to fund defence spending. This to appease Trump, will hurt the less well-off, won't fuel economic growth. How about cutting corporate subsidies, taxing the rich, creating new money, chasing tax dodgers, ending profiteering, windfall taxes. archive.ph/wr0zC

Trump plan to enslave Ukraine. Demands $500bn “payback”, wants control of “mineral resources, oil and gas, ports, other infrastructure" in perpetuity, control economy. Ukraine must pay US before feeding its people. No penalty on Russia for the invasion. Politicians or gangsters? archive.ph/0El3f

Apparently it's books by Noam Chomsky in Arabic that got them in trouble. Think about that...arrested for having books by MIT professors. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

A new study published in the Lancet finds that life expectancy in Gaza dropped by nearly half, from 75.5 years to 40.6 years, during the first twelve months of the genocide. Apocalyptic.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

The British state helped facilitate Israel's genocide. Its leaders now use their own victims as fodder for voters' prejudices. We are ruled by truly disgusting people 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/keir-starm...

@theguardian.com why always mugshots of israeli hostages not palestinian hostages? Is it because you cannot show 100 in one image? Or is it because the Israeli ones are deemed more important? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

This latest rightward decline of Labour is most concerning because there is precedent. 2015-19 aside, Labour's centre-right approach has done nothing but legitimise Tories in 21st century, handing them 14 years in power. Starmer about to do the same with Reform. thenational.scot/news/2491696...

Waking up to read that the orange maniac wants to annexe Gaza and turn it into a massive fucking gold course resort is off the charts. Words fail me.

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.
