Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Seeing someone tell an Iranian that they should read up on the Iran Hostage Crisis on here is genuinely the most perfect encapsulation of American political discourse possible

It is true you can't trust Israel or the US but you should probably be aware the ceasefire doesn't begin until Saturday or Sunday and Israel has a long history of intensifying bombardment until the official starting point of a ceasefire.

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?

Durbin on whether Democrats can use reining in ICE in Chicago as a precondition to rein in the government says “can’t do that. It’s gotta be health care all the way.”

In 2 Years of Gaza Genocide, Sunday Shows on NBC, ABC and CNN Have Not Featured a Single Palestinian Guest

In a microcosm of the U.S. coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, since Oct. 7, 2023, influential Sunday news shows have not seen fit to book any Palestinians.

.... Fighting dehumanization with more dehumanization ... isn't the thing that's gonna save us

but since everyone has decided white people who helped us get to fascism via their own racism

are more important than targets of racism I don't know hat to tell you

Really good thread, because I am frankly tired of "why haven't you left yet" etc.

David Forbes @davidforbes.bsky.social · 14h

Vast, vast majority of trans people aren't going to leave the country. Many can't leave the areas they're currently in.

If trans survival/liberation are something one cares about, at all, that's the reality.

So...🧵

(And no, this is not — in the main — about indviduals leaving the country).

I love shitting on social media as much as the next guy, but Skype a Scientist was built directly from social media connections.

We've matched over 60,000 classrooms with scientists from it...

I will not vote for anybody who takes money from Israel. I will not vote for anybody who doesn't believe trans rights are human rights. I will not vote for anybody who doesn't insist on shutting down ICE. But if you find someone who wants to deport shitlibs who brunch,I might be able to hold my nose

Just thinking for no reason about the time years ago I was asked by a Rabbi not to return to a synagogue because they were having an Israeli speaker and having a trans person there made the Israelis "uncomfortable."

Since Israel is so welcoming to queer people and all
