I’m with Claude, who else is with us?!
I read. I write. I have totems. I wrote, “British Women Writers and Race, 1788-1818: Narrations of Modernity”, Macmillan (2005). Eamon Wright (he/him). I used to work in a library. 🇳🇿 DuckDuckGo not Google. Waze not Google Maps. Signal not Messenger.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Overt racism on our streets, flags as threats, Reform strutting around like they’re in power already, toxic radicalisation by Musk on X, politicians howling to leave the ECHR and to hell with the consequences… How can the govt just meekly nod along? FFS and for all our sakes, stand up to this shit.
Doing burn outs in a car park?
Should blue states stop subsidizing red states?
Thank you on this labor day!!
Rudy in an accident, trump in failing health. Satan is trying to call his children home!
🤔 surprised? The British press is famous for lying.
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
Ah, yes. The famous palm trees of Virginia
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Brilliant
He obviously knows where he’s going.
Old golfers never die, they just lose their balls.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Carswell is in the same camp as Farage and Jenrick and all the other dismal, dull-arsed Reform/Tory hatemongers trying to create social division and civil unrest for their own power. No more hanging back. Anyone who genuinely cares about society and decency must stand up to this.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.
fun fact: if any politician in the United States so much as hints at wanting to separate housing from the profit motive, the New York Times will immediately start taking dictation from actual neo-Nazis in an attempt to scuttle their electoral chances
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Twitter-brained Tories
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
🚨🚨🚨🚨 Chicago PD will not cooperate with ICE and federal agents. They will act to protect citizens of Chicago. They will not wear masks and will arrest people (ICE, etc) who assault and attempt to kidnap citizens. Mayor is signing executive orders as I type this!

If prayer really worked, I would have woken up to an enormous headline this morning.
Kirk is the embodiment of why contraception is important.

Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer. FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?
The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.
Do not forget that russia is a terrorist state.
The world desperately needs an anti-RDK Jr vaccine.
Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
Fascism NEVER, ever —not once— argues in good faith. They only ever argue in search for and support of their hate. That is as deep and as real as the right’s “concern” extends. The moment you accept this historical fact is the moment you cease to be a centrist.
SS, USA style.
ICE cannot be reformed from this. It must be abolished. I’m calling on the next Democratic POTUS nominee to pledge to abolish ICE.
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
It's really not that complicated. Listen to Dick.
What losing the Human Rights Act really means for you youtu.be/MNAZZDkdmPo?...
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t eligible for asylum because it had been more than a year since he entered the country. So Kristi Noem allowed him to reenter again this year, resetting the clock. He has now applied. Kristi is smart that way.
Here he goes.
🤔 Reform only has brain dead members.
Just in case you forgot…
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

MASSIVE BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia can NOT be deported from the US until at least October ACCORDING to court order. Trump administration officials MUST testify under oath then.

Case lasted as long as a leaf of lettuce.
What we have learned is that there is no such thing as politicians taking big checks from special interests and NOT serving those interest with their policy votes. It’s a myth that our politicians aren’t being bribed. Yes they are. They are. And we suffer for it every day. NRA buys
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

This is the state this world is in when both of these monstrous individuals are in power and not in prison.
"The idea she was the PM's political prisoner, or had an 'unfair trial'? She pled guilty!" Lucy Connolly - jailed for a race-hate post after Southport - is being used to criticise the British judicial system by the right.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark summons top U.S. diplomat after report of Americans carrying out influence operations in Greenland.
I've written about the concerted effort by the combined forces of the right to turn convicted race hate monger Lucy Connolly into a victim, a saint and a martyr. @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/08/27/l...

The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
If Farage ever spoke the truth he would break his brand. Lying is part of his DNA.
