We can’t normalize this. This isn’t normal. A group of students were sitting on the lawn of their own school. Daring to ask for peace in Gaza.

Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze.

When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.

HMRC prosecuted just 11 wealthy individuals last year for tax evasion

There is currently £120 BN lost every year due to tax avoidance by the wealthy

Disabled people on benefits aren’t the reason the NHS is failing, why the roads & sewers fall apart

It’s parasites at the top

And these are the people who believe they have the right and ability to force in disgusting legislation

The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy.

UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence.

Just a reminder, students UT Austin today planned a peaceful event: a picnic on the lawn, teach-ins, study sessions and an art workshop. What were you so scared of Jay Hartzell? #NotOurTexas

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

UT Austin students chanting “You don’t scare us” even as countless militarized Texas Troopers swarm their campus, attack their protest, and bring in horses. This movement will not be stopped.

STATEMENT FROM CONCERNED UT AUSTIN FACULTY. #NotOurTexas

This week we laid out a memorial to the more than 11,500 Palestinian children and 36 Israeli children who’ve been killed since October 7th. It was a line 5km long of children’s clothes. Huge thanks to the volunteers who came to Bournemouth and made this happen #CeasefireNow

I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.

I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

Thank you Chicken & Egg Pictures! 🩷

Oh No. Everyone In This Meeting Is Coughing. Why Hasn’t Anyone Invented A Device That Could Keep All That Gunk Flying Through The Air Out Of My Lungs.

Must-read. “There is apparently no money for Sure Start centres but you’ll be relieved to hear ministers have found £8m to offer every public body a free portrait of King Charles…The new deputy PM…says the portraits would bring the nation together. So would working hospitals.”

A couple people asked me to post the #ALeagueOfTheirOwn speech from the #GLAADawards last night, so here goes: “We so honored to accept this award on behalf of the incredible community that made this show, which is about queer joy in a dark time.” 1/?

In case you still don’t understand Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP, there aren’t any ambulances NOW, because your abhorrent, money-grubbing party has run our treasured #NHS into the ground. Twice in the last 6wks we’ve phoned and learned there are no ambulances on non-strike days #SupportTheStrike
