Labour has a problem on international trade - as posted yesterday - an increase of US tariffs will badly hit UK exports across the Atlantic - so, does Starmer cuddle up to Trump to see if he can keep the UK outside any protectionist measure Trump sets up against importers....

or does he shift his attitude to the EU & start to seek a constructive engagement on trade (hoping that an EU threatened by Trump might be more amenable to 'help' the UK into a proper trade deal of some sort)?

It won't save everyone and yes, we are not free until all of us are free, and also: that should not mean that you cannot accept saving some people or making their lives easier.

Or, in the worst cases, giving them more time.

We are not free until all of us are free just means that the work doesn't stop. It means that when you lift someone up they are now in a better position to help lift someone else up in turn.

Think locally. Politically, socially. Get fine-grained here.

Mutual aid organizations are not "passing around $20 on social media to people you barely know." Mutual aid organizations—like Food not Bombs—have a very long history in the US of helping a lot of people in a very local capacity.

Same with a lot of local religious groups. The difference between having a local community that accepts you and will protect you versus one that doesn't is massive.

Colorado has now enshrined a right to abortion in our state constitution

We have laws in place to protect people coming here for an abortion or to start gender affirming care, including for teenagers starting puberty blockers

Can the federal government go against this? Absolutely, but it is much, much harder than in a state like Florida

These local protections _matter_. Having your city have anti-discrimination laws _matters_ even if they are stripped from you at a federal level

The earliest worker protections? Almost always came from unions, not laws.

During the "freedom of contract" and "yellow dog contract" eras—when unions were often functionally unlawful and enjoyed next to no legal protections even in the best of circumstances—we still saw huge movements among workers. Including but not limited to the Colorado Coalfield War, the Newsboys Strike in NYC, and the railroad strikes that still get talked about a century later.

#politics

Fundamentally I'm of the view that leftist power discourse over the last 80 years or so has taken a serious wrong turn in looking _up_ rather than _locally_ for power.

We want to save everyone—which is a worthy goal—and so we focus on things like the Supreme Court, the Presidency, etc.

But historically that's not where our power comes from and historically your local protections matter a _lot_.

The earliest protections against child labor were because of unions, not laws.

It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.

As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article

There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

A Q. on political parallels:

Is the new Labour government now in the position that the Biden administration was in four years ago?

If so, having beaten a Right Govt. in the election, will the next four years see Labour buffeted by global events, losing contact with voters 'reality' & perceptions, while the Right gains further influence & support?

and if this plays out like the USA over the last four years, who will be the UK's Trump?

Farage? Badenoch?

Or can we swerve this fate?

Crimes? What crimes? I don't see any crimes. Did you see any crimes?

Donald Trump started this year fighting two federal prosecutions that threatened to send him to prison. But he will end it free and clear of his most significant criminal legal problems.

Special counsel Jack Smith is taking steps to end both federal election interference cases against Trump before the President-elect takes office, according to a source familiar with Justice Department deliberations.

Let me make sure I've got this right. She proposed an expansion of the Child Tax Credit to $6,000. She proposed $25,000 in down-payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. She proposed expanding Medicare to offer home care services for the elderly. She was part of an administration that presided over the best economy in 50 years. Her opponent, meanwhile, simulated fellatio and said immigrants were eating dogs. But *she's* the one who didn't focus enough on the economy? #Politics #Election2024

@israel group @palestine group

Reporting about IDF crimes against Palestinians is blood libel. It is antisemitic to let the world know what Israel is doing that Palestinians.

Don't you understand that "children of light" are protected by default and their crimes are all part of their "birth right" against "human animal".

So shut up and stop sharing those horrible stories. Send something fun instead. Like the lie peo-israelis sharing about a new hospital built in Gaza by àIDF.

And to everyone feeling deep pain, vulnerability and existential dread right now. I feel you. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Stay calm, stay strong, and know that you have survived these shitheads before.

We won't give up the fight for democracy.

We won't give up the fight for equal human rights for all people.

We won't give up the fight to protect our environment.

We won't give up our fight for justice.

We will live to fight another day and we aren't going to let authoritarian fascist bigots and morons walk all over our lives and dreams. I'm damn sure of that.

We have the right to self-definition and self-determination; so don't even think about giving up.

Well...

I voted for Harris, I tossed my pittance into the tsunami of corporate oligarch money, and now my part in this process is done for now.

Election Day is over now and the people have spoken. we've played our bit part in the biennial republic process. Count every single vote, let the chips fall where they may, and let there be a peaceful transfer of power.

Hopefully we have the chance to vote again in 2 & 4 years.
