I will never forget all the cynical gainsaying and disinformation about the strike on Al-Ahli hospital ten days into Israel’s destruction of Gaza. ‘Fog of war’. Almost three years later, fewer than half of Gaza’s hospitals remain even partially functional and there is no fog. Only dust and rubble.

The geniuses who destroyed global hegemonic soft power because they thought it was “suicidal empathy” are now attempting to eliminate the janitors of late capitalism, aka social workers, who they perceive as bleeding heart liberals

The lesson to take from this is that the Allied action was not the consequence of consistent moral horror or determined ethical stance. And, precisely, that for much of the British ruling class the fear of losing colonies mattered much more than the fate of Jews at the time.

Heya folks. We're on a final push to get to £10k. We're on just over £8.3k. That's less than 1/10th of what fascist Danny Tommo has recently received inndonations after slashing a dinghy with an RNLI worker on it at sea. Meanwhile our comrade faces more than 12x the jailtime for opposing fascism.

I know some of their stuff does get made as audiobooks and I think some have even tried to do their own audiobooks but I'm sure a full Left platform would work and get some of the overlooked books consumed

Is a subscription Left audiobook company that works alongside Left publishers unfeasible? I'd love one where you could get however many credits a month but have the choice from things specifically from Left publishers. There are so many niche books I just never get around to reading

Yes, that’s right, the guy who resigned as Keir Starmer’s strategist because he was bullying and sexually harassing a Black female MP also thinks asylum seekers are living high on the hog and that people with disabilities are faking it! This is what a centre-left social democrat sounds like!

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

The leader of the Tories made a Neo-Nazi criminal an anti-racism and anti-extremism adviser, because she’s so disastrously online she couldn’t see an issue with him having harassed an MP so horrendously that he was sent to prison for it. All the lads hemmed and hawed a bit, until it went away.
may get shouted out for this, but it's a real observation: Polanski has a pattern of behaviour of making trouble for himself by telling fibs when he absolutely doesn't need to do so. He lies reflexively and then creates several more news cycles as a result. 1/3

We—all of us—must act to protect RNLI volunteers and all people in peril at sea from these fascists; the state has refused to protect the helpless and heroes, so we must follow our moral duty and protect and defend them from this monstrous violence

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people.
