Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services.

Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0.

But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?"

Make it make sense!
Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

“If something happens to me I’ll be fine. I’ve got a contingency plan”.

Contingency plans go out the window quickly when you have a medical emergency or an extended job loss.

Most people are three months away from homelessness, at best.

You could need SNAP at any time

It’s not a moral failing

This. Nobody is actually confused by the idea that “aunt” and “uncle” are routinely colloquially used to refer to people other than a parent’s siblings. Anyone pretending not to understand this is bullshitting you.
Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

With just a moment's reflection, this is really dark stuff. The idea here is to have live-in help that doesn't actually have to live in, that doesn't have to be in the same country, that can be paid third-world wages, that you don't ever have to face the humanity of. Lucky for humanity it's useless.

Yes—pronunciations that connote respect, instead of condescension, enrage them.

Well worn tactic long deployed by the British upper classes too: how they mangle the pronunciation of so many “foreign” words or place names to pretend at (linguistic and other kinds of) dominance.
I remember when certain people were really weird about how Obama pronounced Pakistan. The right-wing urge to crudely mispronounce the names of countries and people they look down on continues apace.

PSA:
The fact that a percentage of the US population is

Right wing/ fascist/ a Trump supporter/ reactionary racist

does not also mean they are all

personality disordered/ bipolar/ psychotic/ insane/ mad / diagnosable by you, a random dickhead online.

Conflating the two is sanist.

Every good thing this society half-assedly started due to COVID should've been not just continued but constantly improved upon; but too many of y'all have The Fear, & those programs remind you of the thing that scared you.

So instead you burn down your house 'cause your basement made spooky shadows
It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.
The food security report is out, and it's bad news: 13.5% of households were food insecure in 2023, up from 12.8% in 2022. This is what happens when you abruptly end "pandemic" supports that should have been there all along.

Please note that CNN is spreading RACIST DISINFO by leading you to believe the LIE that Mamdani's aunt WASN'T scared of racists post-9/11.

The only "pushback" here is a bullshit claim that one of Mamdani's aunt's isn't his aunt.

CNN is trafficking in right wing, racist trash.

Eternal shame.

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

98 % av lärarna är emot fria vinstuttag i skolan. De skulle inte förlora jobbet om riskkapitalisterna och före detta politikerna förbjöds att äga svenska skolor. De skulle få en annan huvudman. Timbros nivå är skrattretande.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

This is why I cringe when I hear "wellness". CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not good for you, it will cause asphyxiation. I hope these grifters won't recommend CO (carbon monoxide) as that will kill, and quickly. Homosexuality isn't something to be "healed". Yet social media companies allow these posts.

In fairness, asphyxiation has proved highly effective in terminating all these conditions.
