Just more arguments about the danger of vilification, either left or right. Not because evil doesn't exist (relativism is just the counter part of vilification) but because evil isn't inherent to someone. Good and evil is what we do, not what we are.
What fascinates me is that while for so many people it fueled a lifetime distrust of authority, for others it fueled a nearly automatic trust of people who claim to distrust and defy authority.

The only zero-sum game is our planet, not money, not health, not happiness. Those three are only limited by how we manage our society, our ability to live together.

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."
All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

Une Constitution n'est pas un modèle Lego sur lequel on attache des morceaux selon le goût du jour. C'est un document qui donne une vision universelle et partagée de ce qui constitue un monde juste et libre pour l'ensemble des citoyens, présent et futur. Cet article magnifique le démontre bien.
Présenté comme un symbole fort pour l’égalité des sexes, la Constitution risque paradoxalement de fragiliser l’accès réel à l'avortement, en plus de véhiculer une vision réductrice de la lutte féministe pour la justice reproductive. @naimahamrouni.bsky.social

La Constitution québécoise prétend vouloir protéger les femmes. La réalité est toute autre
Le projet de Loi 1 promet l’égalité, mais le droit à l’avortement reste menacé par des obstacles concrets et l’absence de réflexion féministe inclusive.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.
But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

In social media, suspension without telling the suspended account why is not moderation, it's schoolyard ghosting. I expect better from this platform.
Presumably a mistaken suspension of a journalist who is a very anodyne poster over here, @aaron.bsky.team and co. What's the best way to reach the team who can look into it?
