I support trans rights, I believe that black lives matter. I believe in science and socialism and that animals lives are worth saving. I'm an atheist but I believe in freedom of worship but I do not believe in people using their faith to attack others. Misanthropic antifascist world-weary pacifist.

After years of relentless organizing, @palyouthmvmt.bsky.social forced shipping giant Maersk to end business with Israeli settlements — a major win in the fight to make genocide support too costly.

Tyler Walicek reports on this meaningful change brought by activists.

It's very odd that I recall we were all called in for boosters age 12, in Norway, it wasn't optional. We just queued up knowing it might be painful and might be scary but it was going to happen anyway. I'm wondering when this whole idea of letting people object w/o medical grounds even came from??

Throwing non-working people of this country, ie children, students, the retired, carers, disabled people etc under the bus by claiming they stand for "working people" again. This was Tory rhetoric too.

I was a labour party member from 2015 -2021 - Starmer was NEVER my choice. They drove out the left and lurched right, replaced the rose with flag, shoved giant posters of his face through our letter boxes, banished any pro Palestinians, let back in an MP who hurled racist abuse in commons bar.
