Seems a lot of amelioration for the men here. Poor things. Can't imagine Vance marrying a women who wears flat shoes. Presumably their primary role is to add to safety. Protecting women and all that.

Trump and Netanyahu’s attack on Iran has now cost the world $3 Trillion. For what? So corrupt old white men can stay in power and deflect from their crimes.

To Jewish members of the Green Party: Assurances, from the motion proposers, that they had no intention for Jewish members to feel targeted for their beliefs or associations have been clear. And if anyone else does try to use it in this way, I will be there for you with my solidarity and support.
Statement reads: As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way. 

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.

Any constructs of having to prove you are ill, fighting for support or having to get others to understand are unacceptable wastes of energy.

Sending loads of care. Apart from the daily pain and difficulties you experience and myriad other things it's also completely unacceptable society is in denial that you have a physical illness and need altruistic support to live. And so does someone with more severe ME.

“ME/CFS patients are deeply inconvenient.” George Monbiot on how people with #MECFS need long term support, but governments and insurers have an incentive to “brush it away” and dismiss patients leaving them “massively mistreated, maligned” and “blamed for their illness”.

Urgency is so non person centred too. A chronically ill person manages their own condition including timing vaccinations around medication, QOL, work, vaccination reactions, current symptoms. The NHS needs to get a grip of themselves on this, psyhcologisation and on the risks of covid.

I just don't get it 🤔 I've been offered a Free Flu Vaccination on the NHS - URGENTLY. I.e. within 4 days of receiving the email. Because I am judged as being at high risk from the Flu. But the SARS virus that gave me blood clots, a Pulmonary Embolism AND Long Covid isn't as much of a threat to me?

@10dowingstreet.bsky.social top tip say 'but' less 'and' and more. @andyburnham.bsky.social says 'but' where often 'and' would create a much more positive dynamic. By the way covid and flu are airborne and respirator masks do work.
