You know that saying about how the way they treat asylum seekers is the way they’d treat everyone else if they thought they could get away with it? Well,

The Tories said the reduced subsistence allowance would be loaded onto pre-paid card that would not allow cash withdrawals, and would "prevent spending" on alcohol, cigarettes, or gambling.
The party is yet to detail how its proposal would work, but shadow welfare secretary Helen Whately said it would be "a version" of the pre-paid Aspen card issued to asylum seekers living in government-funded accommodation.
These cards cannot be used to make contactless, telephone or internet payments, whilst asylum seekers whose applications have failed cannot withdraw cash.

This is a tax guy. His advice could be the difference between someone having their assets seized & maybe going to jail, or not. Now imagine having to worry about racist shit in every interaction you have with any person in authority. Every doctor & nurse, every cop, every lawyer & judge, every boss

For all of you who want to know what actual racism looks like as opposed to Black Shorts lapping on weekends, this is what it looks like. This is why minorities are totally paranoid about interacting with institutions

Let’s be clear. Labour’s line on immigration is that immigrants are a bad thing, to be tolerated in the minimum number necessary for the NHS, the economy and so forth, but basically and essentially bad. There’s no other logical reason possible for Mahmood’s approach, endorsed by Burnham.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Considering the news, I wrote about Srebrenica..rather than its perpetrator..

Ramo Osmanovich

I think about Ramo Osmanovich.
I will never meet him,
but I will think about him often
usually alone, usually at night,
not always, but often.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
filling up, slunk against my car,
watching eyes gather and place,
feeling the tilt away, the nervous scratch,
the suppression, the turning of face.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
and wonder if they think I’m nice
despite the whole, you know
“Just a kind person, gentle
Even if they are…him, though..”

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
and wonder if he heard the radio,
if the rotting rasps of hate hung on
in his ear even if his mind spurned them
because to listen would be oblivion.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
because polite society no longer
thinks I am polite, and the Zahir
emerges from the Batin
as hatred makes lambent the fear.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
because it was never really enough;
the fitting in, the cavitation,
the acquiescence, the sigh,
then the justification.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
maybe he trusted in years
spent weaving threads of comity,
of blending, of sublimating
unrequited visions of parity.

I think about Ramo Osmanovich,
because, maybe, at some point
we both realise, nothing is to be done
and we should turn to our son
and just scream – run

By Ali.A.Naqvi 2026

Note: Ramo Osmanovic was captured in Srebrenica , Bosnia, by Serb forces. Ramo Osmanovic was filmed on VHS by
Serbian forces calling for his son, Nermin, to come down from the forest because it was safe. They were both found,
executed, together in a mass grave.

Would you let fans of raw milk build Nuclear Reactors "really fast" .....

ok this might be the most aggressively american startup i’ve ever seen 🇺🇸

> they’re trying to build nuclear reactors 100x faster than the nuclear industry ever has

> the founder isaiah taylor grew up on food stamps + dropped out of high school at 16

> his great-grandfather literally worked on the manhattan project

> generations later isaiah built a working nuclear reactor before turning 28 and named it “ward” after him

> the pentagon used 3 military c-17s to airlift the reactor 700 miles from california to utah in a first-of-its-kind mission

> the company culture is hardcore americana

> they hold bible studies, offer raw milk, love fast cars + have a cigar lounge

> plus 4 gigantic patriotic paintings of columbus discovering america, the pilgrims arriving on the mayflower, the signing of the declaration + the constitutional convention

> they sued the nuclear regulatory commission for slowing them down

> valar's end goal is to build the same reactor thousands of times across nuclear “gigasites” to make energy 10x cheaper

> then they'll use that energy to pull carbon out of thin air and turn it into oil and gas for supreme energy abundance

> just raised $1b at a $6b valuation to scale it

> if valar pulls it off, isaiah’s family will have helped usher in both of america’s atomic ages

yeah this gets my vote for most badass startup of the year

Hi @disabilitystor1.bsky.social I am going to have to pull you up on this thread. As someone who teaches at a B School, develops MBA programmes, has taken one. I think you're really putting way too much emphasis here on the degree and not the social conditions of late stage capitalism 1/3

I am hot and tired, so allow me to be blunt. If you support remigration, if you support removing some people's rights etc etc, you are a bigot. Nature of my work is finding that 5% level we can all agree on and build from there, but don't be shocked by being called a bigot when you side with bigots.
