The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

I see “Glossop” and my mind goes to Wodehouse, but it is in fact a small town not far from Manchester. If that’s near you, here’s some bloody good comedy heading your way.

Anthony Constantino, former CEO and attempted stand-up comedian who once joked about women supporting Kamala Harris vomiting before and after he put his penis in their mouths, is now the Republican nominee for New York’s 21st congressional district. And his ambitions may not stop at Congress.

I'm in complete gridlock on the M1 as clearly there's been a huge accident. Suddenly loads of cars have decided to drive on the hard shoulder to get out of the jam, with no directive that this is allowed and I'm both pleased I'm autistic and wondering if I'm missing out on something

When racists tell me my family came here by "the proper channels", my family were brought here by The Red Cross. The WW2 govt did not rescue refugees, they asked for equiv 6 months wage pay for each refugee brought over by multiple charities. He knows this & know his followers don't.

youtu.be/vEGVSvL6yQU Many of us have had to deconstruct our worldviews and start again, looking at the world through a more critical lens. How can Western politicians and MSM remain uncritical allies of a regime that is eradicating a people from its land through systematic violence?

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Oh goodness this is awful. I first saw Bonnie doing a talk about the Kindertransport at some point in the 90s. She was a fave of mine on twitter and I loved how she would talk politics with anyone and answer any awkward question.
