Green - sensory disabilities

Israel has repeatedly defied the UN, its resolutions & international law. Member states must act.

Yet at PMQs, the Prime Minister said his government is “doing all we can” — except imposing sanctions, ending all arms sales, military support, trade & diplomatic ties with Israel.

£6 billion in cuts to welfare & disability benefits that will push 700,000 into poverty — instead of taxing the super-rich.

Spending on weapons of destruction — instead of helping the world’s poorest.

These political choices are cruel.

This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

Today is Harriet Tubman Day. Two states, New York and Maryland have made it a legal holiday. Some local areas in other states recognize it as well. Her day should be a day of rest for women in March, Women’s History Month, particularly for Black women who rarely have a rest day.

International Women's Day originated from the struggles of working-class women fighting for their rights.

That history is often overlooked, as corporations co-opt #IWD’s message.

Let's reclaim that radical history.

@aljazeera.com reporting revised figures from Gaza:

▪️61,709 killed in this conflict
▪️47,460 of those killed are the victims who made it to hospitals
▪️14,222 are still missing
▪️70% of those killed are women and children.

Staggering.
Devastating.
Illegal.
Immoral.
Unforgivable.

Today over breakfast with neighbours (Naleśniki), voting for independents came up and someone asked "What is Climate200 and does anyone know how it works?" and after having listened to @simonahac.bsky.social explain it 47 million times online, let me tell you I had a clear and concise answer.

Tinnitus can be a lonely struggle causing stress, anxiety, worry, depression, physical tension and sleepless nights. Sending love and peace to anyone affected by this condition. You are not alone in experiencing this, however lonely it feels.

“Democracy thrives when its citizens are vigilant. It falters when apathy prevails. Let us ensure that history does not remember this era as the time when leaders acted like dogs, but as the time when people stood up, fought back, and reclaimed their power.”

Austerity has been discredited & 330,000+ deaths prove its deadly impact.

Yet benefit cuts are being briefed & disabled people are again made to pay the price for “calming” the markets.

Austerity with a red rosette is still austerity.

This isn’t the “change” people voted for.

On the final time of blocking them I looked through the recommended videos and there were some from Katie Hopkins (whom I dislike intensely) and several other right wing figures. Strangely, I'm signed in to the same YouTube account on my PlayStation and I've had no such recommendations!
December 21, 2024 at 10:20 AM
... So I go on to the YouTube app and select the "I don't want any more recommendations for this channel" setting. Next day, another recommendation for GB News. Huh, well maybe I didn't do it right. So I block the channel again. Another three times this happens!
December 21, 2024 at 10:12 AM
Now, GB news is a news channel which is politically right wing and certainly not woke. I think this a bit odd, but ignore said recommendation and move on. Over the following weeks I receive many more of these recommendations which I ignore. After a while this begins to annoy me...
