Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect. Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right. My piece for @tribunemagazine www.tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/labour-is-paving-the-path-to-fascism

There's a reason that the people who complain that Bluesky isn't welcoming never explicitly say WHO isn't being welcomed. Who should we be nicer too? Be specific about the kind of people you want here. I'd've quote posted this. But he turned replies and quotes off. Making me feel very unwelcome.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

3/3 "It is unlikely that Paxton, a staunch Trump ally, will face the same federal scrutiny as James and Schiff. It’s equally doubtful that Paxton will face much legal trouble in Texas: His office is one of the primary agencies tasked with investigating allegations of mortgage fraud."

2/3 "Mortgages signed by the Paxtons list each of the three houses as "their primary residence, now-estranged couple can improperly lock in low interest rates. The lower rates will save the Paxtons tens of thousands of dollars in payments."

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

“The far-right protesters claimed they were there to “protect women and children” and demanded that asylum seekers be sent back. However, tensions rose when we witnessed one man harassing a woman called Charlotte, a member of Stand Up to Racism.” No so very protective of women then…

One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.
