If Zohran Mamdani were British, Keir Starmer would have definitely expelled him from the Labour Party.
Inspirational campaign and victory for @ZohranKMamdani in NYC. Lessons for progressives the world over.

Any word for the young woman raped and told to "go back to her own country"?
Those who abuse our immigration system must face the strongest possible consequences. We’ve banned a record number of employers from sponsoring migrant workers because they broke the rules and exploited staff. My Plan for Change is securing our borders with action, not

@Chocolate_Lurv Actually yes, in general it's ridiculous to see the world treat American domestic politics as universal concerns. We actually end up importing their racial frameworks, their culture wars and their political divisions as if they map onto our own societies - when they don't. French

I wear flags on nights out, I eat flags, I wash with flags, I have flag children, I say a prayer to my flag each evening, I smoke and drink flags, I drive a flag to work, I go on holiday to flags every year, I bake flags every Sunday and put up flags instead of a Christmas tree.
Asked if she's got a flag on display in her home, the Home Secretary says she has Union Jack bunting, St Georges flags, St Georges bunting, and Union Jack flags and tablecloths.

"I was told repeatedly that it was simply not commercially viable to write a book about illness and nature in which I did not get better because of the nature."

Like many writers, I have been following the unfolding revelations about Raynor Winn and The Salt Path with great interest, and a degree of self-interest. I am a memoirist and nature writer, and I …

What in the reputation rehabilitation is going on over here? Why does a genocidaire get a New York Times byline? They can work their feelings out in the dock at the Hague. Prosecute them.
"I fought in Gaza for a year, first as a tank platoon commander and then as the deputy to my company commander" "Gaza became a lawless zone, with little effective oversight of the military and almost no personal accountability for soldiers" "this war has crossed every boundary"

BREAKING: Yvette Cooper says she is suspending all applications to bring family members to the UK under the asylum system.

can’t believe we opted for 1984 dystopia (surveillance and denial of historical fact) and Fahrenheit 451 dystopia (erosion of literacy) instead of Brave New World dystopia (everyone gets fucked up on government-sanctioned drugs and goes to the movies all the time)

Folks, as we lift up Palestinians, don't forget Sudan. The famine in Sudan is in the same critical stage with ppl suffering in the same horrific ways. Pls amplify Sudanese voices -- and if you have the means, give to those who are ensuring Sudanese ppls survival on the ground.
The famine has reached level 5 in Sudan. It’s catastrophic to say the least. Worst famine in 40 years worldwide. But it’s barely making it into a single headline. I’m so fucking sick and tired of the world’s selective empathy and activism. You’d give a damn-
