Despite the change in Govt. for the disabled austerity continues remorselessly...

as Frances Ryan details once again its the disabled who will be bearing the brunt of a Govt's 'difficult decisions';

f we judge a society by how it treats it vulnerable & disadvantaged (which is how we should judge a country!), then the UK stands accused of a callous inhumanity towards those type able ignore or discount.... we should and can do much better

There is something rather optimistic about this work/installation - Passage, 2007 by Cornelia Konrads - it suggests (to me) there is always a passage to another (better/brighter) part of the forest - we just need to find it.

“We will build a missile defense shield, all made in the USA—wrapped around our country to defend ourselves and our country. It’s all gonna be made in the United States, and a lot of it in your great state. We’ll put Herschel Walker in charge of that little sucker"

Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With #KamalaHarris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State Votes

Organizers are facilitating protest votes for people in swing states to register their dissent — without handing a victory to #DonaldTrump.

[I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for #JillStein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for #Harris. I feel much better now. :-)]

As Millions Starve in #Gaza, #Israel Terminates Agreement With #UNRWA

"Restricting humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering," said the U.N. agency's commissioner-general.

Fuck Israel and everyone who still support it


They don't even bother hiding their crimes. Media and politicians covering up for them and have given criminal Netanyahu carte blanche to do what ever he wants with civilians in Gaza.

[Le Télégramme] - #Budget de la #Sécu : la partie « recettes » approuvée à l’Assemblée grâce à la gauche, contre la majorité.

Une version (très) remaniée de la partie recettes du #Budget2025 de la #SécuritéSociale (#PLFSS) a été adoptée en première lecture par l’Assemblée nationale, ce lundi, grâce notamment aux voix de gauche.

Over the weekend, the head of #CENTCOM and the Israeli Chief of Staff held a meeting that focused on assessing “strategic security issues and joint preparations in the region, as part of the response to threats in the Middle East, with an emphasis on Iran.”

The Israeli military said it will “continue to deepen its relationship with the U.S. Armed Forces, due to our commitment to strengthening regional stability and coordination between militaries.”

Five people have been arrested, the latest of them an Israeli #army officer, as part of the investigation into leaked classified documents from the Prime Minister’s Office.


The leaked documents were allegedly written by Hamas, forming the basis of an article in London’s Jewish Chronicle suggesting Hamas had planned to smuggle hostages out of #Gaza via #Egypt; as well as an article in the German newspaper Bild saying Hamas was prolonging hostage talks as a form of psychological warfare against Israel.

According to public broadcaster Kan, the leaked material was not found by Israeli forces in Gaza, but was discovered thanks to “another kind of intelligence.” Prosecutors are taking the case so seriously in part because it risks revealing key intelligence-gathering methods to #Hamas.

this sounds a lot like a false flag #propaganda ploy./Farhad

The usa will #vote for who will give the murderers the weapons of death tomorrow.

Either way #Palestine will pay the price. #genocide apparently matters less than the cost of groceries.

Libs will sleep well if their queen #kamala is elected. Brown babies should have known better.

The "Liberal" Swedish Dagens Nyheter Editor: #Trump is a president for #US, #Harris is going to be the president of the whole world!

I am truly going to vomit.

The propaganda and extent of BS on Swedish media covering the US election have reached a new level of disgusting low. Swedes have always had inferiority complex towards Americans, but ever since the election of Obama, it has reached a ridiculous not-so-funny embarrassing level.

A pro-life senior pastor of a Baptist megachurch in Texas came out in support of Vice President Kamala Harris in a new op-ed over the weekend. Wm. Dwight McKissic Sr., the senior pastor for a reported 3,000 congregants at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, condemned former President Donald Trump’s character and his conduct during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Thousands of Trump Supporters Mobilized to Block Election Certification

Many (all) of us here will agree with Nesrine Malik:

'Badenoch’s election is a first that signifies nothing. But it is useful, because it forces us to confront the fact that representation does not happen simply by elevating women or people of colour. True representation requires specific people & specific circumstances that do something other than merely continuing, or indeed entrenching, the way things already are'!

Australian UN expert lashes out at Netanyahu, shuts up Israeli with facts & their benefits by mentioning the advantage that Israel has taken during decades long wars where Israel has not done its duty, ignored human suffering & allowed UNWRA stand for the help they should have taken responsibility for themselves.

Tried to track my ballot and it looks like GA simply elected to ignore my request for my mail in ballot…

And upon doing some digging online, this has happened to *thousands* of people like me in that state.

I’m furious.

Edit: My ballot is an international absentee ballot. I cannot show up at the polls on Tuesday.

Edit 2: Muting replies now. Thanks to those who have been very helpful!

Why the #Democrats were #Israel’s perfect partners in genocide

By masking support for Israel with hollow humanitarian gestures and empathy for #Palestinians, #Biden and #Harris have diluted pressure to end the war.
