Generally speaking, it's easy to differentiate the clout-chasing, performative activists who desperately want to be *seen* "doing good", from the real deal who do it just because they want to do good. The latter wear masks. #intersectionality #AntiAbleism #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

Did you notice that part of the Crime and Policing Bill that was being debated yesterday was to outlaw the wearing of masks at protests?

Yeah, mask bans, withdrawing vaccinations, cuts to social security for Disabled people - all part of a denialist approach and, dare I say, eugenics as well. If they erase a pandemic and even erase the people most affected by it, they can continue their morally bankrupt economic system much easier.

Aye. Withdrawing vaccinations? Are they stopping the Covid top ups as well?

Diane Abbott and others were locked out of the PLP meeting about the welfare cuts last night, according to her post. No surprise there. Just spotted this too. Judging by the font it's from a Graun article.
Starmer's a nasty piece of work.
After the meeting, MPs privately criticised the prime minister for failing to respond to a direct question on Pip when one directly challenged him. The MP described his own daughter who has significant disabilities, and asked for reassurance about the cuts, saying they would have a huge impact on his own family. "There was audible support in the room but the PM did not respond," another MP said.

He truly is grotesque.

I honestly think he's worse than Spaffer.
Mx Jay Baker
I have said that for a long time. I much prefer my enemy to tell me they think I'm a "lefty tosser" rather than a wolf in sheep's clothing careerist who claims "progressive" policies as his own until he gains more power, then dumps them each time. That's much worse.

I have to hold my hand up here and say I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when he first got elected but it didn't last. And I'm endlessly ashamed that I didn't see through it sooner.
I've never given much of a shit about being called names, political or otherwise.

Corbyn's rather endearing yet naive faith in democracy in an undemocratic system meant that (as with Brexit) he adhered to standards his rivals never would, and so his refusal to outright endorse Rebecca Long-Bailey left the door open for Starmer (who received less votes than "no one") to grab power, which is his favourite thing.

Oh and yeah, universal unconditional vaccinations haven't been an option for a long time, but they're increasingly difficult to access. All part of the ideology and narrative. Where are the conspiracy theorists? I guess they've moved on to the next antisemitic bullshit rather than apologising for being wrong. I mean hell, the Great Barrington Declaration was adhered to in the end anyway, eh.

I think that might be England only, with health being devolved. It's certainly not the case in Wales, at time of writing anyway.

Clout-chasers also do not tend to last long on Mastodon btw - many of them perceived Bluesky as a godsend as it reminded them more of "good old" Twitter, where algorithms amplified certain accounts over others, rewarding popularity with greater popularity and "status." Mastodon is more of an even playing field. Clout-chasers don't like that so much. They'll join Mastodon, use it for a while to pretty much only promote their own stuff, then say things like "Ah, I didn't enjoy Mastodon too much, it's hard to reach an audience on there." What they mean is: they are in it for themselves only, and don't care about the principles of the Fediverse. Credit to all you reading this who have built your relationships on here organically and authentically!
