If Labour begin preparations for negotiating to rejoin the EU, we could be back in by around 2030-2031, turbocharging Labour's second term. If they stick to their Brexit maximalist stance then we're not going to be rejoining until the 2040s or later, after the horror of a 2029 Reform government.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

2/5

This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron.

Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept.

This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

It can be easy to forget that DEI was a completely noncontroversial term/idea until Chris Rufo pushed to weaponize it during the Biden administration. The most maddening part: Rufo has been open and honest about this weaponization. badfaithtimes.com/dei-segregat...
Those on the right relentlessly attacking diversity programs in the corporate sector and in higher education claim to oppose so-called DEI practices because they are unfair to white men. Forget for a moment that these policies were non-controversial until fascist hatchetman like Christopher Rufo weaponized the term because people were mean to him online. DEI efforts can only be discriminatory if one believes – or purports to believe – that racism is a thing of the past, a long-dead societal virus that has been extinguished because we’ve had a black president and Oprah is really rich and Denzel Washington was in Gladiator 2 and black singers sometimes get Grammy awards. This is the Robertsian mindset: Diversity efforts are no longer necessary, and in fact constitute a massive, reverse-racist overreach by those who want white men at the bottom of the hierarchy of oppression. With this, the right has all the necessary justification for shredding diversity efforts in every facet of American life. With a new reality in place, this is the only path forward.
