Consciously cruel. This has been highlighted for years & every single poverty porn/benefits scrounger documentary commissioned has blood on its hands for sheeting the conversation

You have to go a long way to outdo the Tories on cruelty but balancing the books on the backs of disabled people gets you over the line. I didn't vote Labour this time because I couldn't support their total lack of vision but after this they'll never get my vote again

Labour is trying to force ever more people into work when AI, recession, and the demise of the jobs best suited to those with disabilities means there are ever fewer jobs available. When will they wake up to reality? youtu.be/cJJReC1lAf0?...

The choice could not be any clearer. Do you push 700,000 people into poverty by cutting lifeline benefits? Or do you get a grip on the extreme wealth being hoarded in this country? This IS a choice, and the Government knows it.

FFS. How about, instead of dicking around trying to out reform reform, you get on & actually improve people's lives? That way you won't have to worry about whether you'll get voted back in next time around. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social you are unrecognisable

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare. Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

David Lynch passes away at 78 after a battle with emphysema. He had stated in 2024 that he could no longer leave his home due to the high risk of Covid. If more people would mask up, we wouldn’t have to isolate. “You do you” policies leave people like Lynch with no choice but to “just stay home”

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch
"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
 
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
 
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
 
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
 
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
 
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
 
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
 
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

"it was only a small murder" Funny how murderers up in court don't get a lesser sentence for murdering elderly or disabled people & yet it seems it's perfectly acceptable in society at large

[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from Dr Tedros at yesterday’s @who.int media briefing: “We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. “It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills. “The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

You’re being taught that it’s ok to harm people as long as they belong to an undesirable group. You’re being conditioned to believe you’re superior. It’s not at all hard to see how this can pave the way for authoritarianism. /end

How Did We Get Here and What Comes Next?
Disabled people have been warning others for nearly 5 years that eugenicist Covid policies would lead to a rise of fascist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic hatred. It's here now. So what’s next?

It really makes me question the competence of those who are supposed to be treating us. Not only is the trust gone because they've thrown out 'do no harm' but also because anyone who doesn't swiss cheese the hell out of whatever layers of protection they can in the midst of this pandemic is just..🤯

And then there is the reality. No packed Commons debate, no astroturf ads about the disabled people's right *not* to die. Having something signed by two doctors isn't the safeguard you think.

The 'you do you', personal responsibility backlash since the lockdowns ended has highlighted just how resentful people have become towards anybody requiring any kind of accommodation.

The precautionary approach has been missing since very early on & it's incomprehensible from a medical point of view. It only makes sense when you realise the decisions were/are based on capitalism before people
