That the Guardian covers the Elon Musk funded Far Right Free Speech Union more enthusiastically than Good Law Project speaks volumes of where it, and British politics, is. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I don’t want anybody monstered, but I feel like, if you’re a business holding a Harry Potter quiz night in 2025, then you’re telling your clientele something specific. It’s like having a Tesla open house. Like it or not, you’re saying something about who’s welcome and who isn’t.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY!
What this piece lets out of the bag is, whatever is driving the far/right's hatred of trans people it is absolutely, positively not a desire to protect women from sexual violence. They are happy to celebrate a perpetrator of sexual violence, so long as he shares their hatred of trans people.
BUY IT! It’s beautiful.
Just so we’re clear: when they say “DEI,” they mean Black.

In these very difficult and frightening times, I want to make it clear to everyone that my account will always be a welcoming and safe place, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, belief system or nationality. It will never be a safe place for fascists. Love is love. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸❤️
