This is such a clear example of how fascism and capitalism are symbiotic, it's actually incredible. The line is sad it didn't get its right wing policies.

This ban did not come about from any kind of violent or criminal behaviour. We had every right to move freely among the west bank communities we worked with. I simply made records of the daily harassment, intimidation, and violence Israeli settlers direct at Palestinians

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Amazing things happen when you even slightly zoom out on a graph to get actual context.

Whats really fun in the comments of this article isnt just libs crashing out, its that they keep attacking the grammar and/or putting up the writer's personal details to make adhoms and start a witch hunt. They genuinely dont see how theyre the same as MAGA now. Fascinating, bro

Police "stormed" the Parents For Palestine block in July, terrifying families. Officers then targeted a Muslim family joining the march, after failing to protect them from racist harassment by counter-demonstrators. Read the full report at Netpol.org/Parents4Palestine

Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range. https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

Anyone remember when the Spectator put out an article condemning RRR for being too mean about the British empire written by a man named Rob Tombs?

Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

I basically think of the "graphic design is my passion" meme as aspirational now, a lodestone of authenticity

Andy Burnham’s Labour Party is as rightwing as the MAGA Republicans in Texas when it comes to the treatment of trans kids.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

Equal pay for equal work. Why does the Labour party not believe in this?

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Transphobia was never about defending women, it was always about defending masculinity and controlling women.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

It’s probably not a coincidence we’ve seen the same across all channels in Britain in the past 15 years, a period notable for relentless revelations of sex crimes by politicians, policemen and prominent public figures.
