We share some thoughts on: - Prepping for when the AI bubble pops (nationalize and euthanize) - Why centrists are less willing to call fascism by its name under Trump II (hint: now the whole economic system is implicated) - Why the real “rupture” was Gaza not Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlKy...

“Almost three years into this genocide, nobody can credibly claim they do not know what is happening in Gaza. Palestinians have documented and shared the reality of their lives every day. Evidence of ongoing Israeli atrocities is visible to the world.“

The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

The scenes in Belfast last night were disgraceful. Families were targeted because of their skin colour or country of origin, leaving people frightened, homeless and fearing for their safety. The actions of one individual must never be used to stigmatise an entire community, nationality or faith.
