tomorrow, MPs will have their final vote on Leadbeater's assisted su*cide bill. devoid of countless promised safeguards, the bill accompanies brutal gov't cuts to palliative care, healthcare + welfare. it is a huge expansion of social murder. will add some excerpts below later
Joe Gallagher (@joedgallagher) writes about how UK cuts to healthcare paired with end-of-life legislation threaten the disabled: “For many it will be coercive euthanasia, an expansion of quotidian violence” https://t.co/AhOACOHN2n

denying an ongoing p*ndemic and rejecting accessibility might seem based or cool or whatever but they are actions incompatible with having an actual liberatory movement, it presents an irreconcilable contradiction

lots of dunking on YP today but one thing almost no one will say: that conference is not accessible to immunocompromised people or anyone that can't afford to get sick for the next 1-4 weeks or risk becoming permanently disabled. no masks no tests no filtration no answers no care

if you know you're coming up against it, why not be the one to make that change yourself instead before you're sacked?

actually think this is half the explanation for new manager bounce; new manager will more readily implement the big changes needed to innovate and not be bound by routine / sunk costs / stubbornness

think the predictable movement and lack of penetration in the first clip is one of the biggest parts of the problem, regardless of what worked before, a bold change is needed now. Slot *could* make that change, but if he won't then he shouldn't stay, simple as.
These 2 sequences show how Liverpool’s deep build-up can improve. PSV pressed in a 4-4-2 turned m2m, which Liverpool struggled with until around the 18th minute. More off-ball movement from the midfield + Jones’ disguised passes made the difference. https://t.co/6rtU7Ww8rr

only in three other seasons since 2008/09 have Liverpool been as low as 12th in the league after 12+ games: the week Hodgson was sacked, a few months after Rodgers took over, and a few weeks after Rodgers was sacked

This is what I have said about ZOOS even before COVID. As a teacher I was all day with children in mouldy leaky unventilated portable classrooms without windows or without opening windows. That would NEVER be allowed for other animals in any situation.

It's gonna full on jump. It's a matter of when
“A man is ‘severely ill’ with a virus never before seen in humans - only in animals. Confirmed H5N5 - a subtype of avian influenza, also known as bird flu, that is typically carried by ducks and geese as well as other wild birds.” Here we go…😫 #BirdFlu

People need to read up on civic nationalism and the way it was utilized particularly under Italian fascism. Then this would make a lot more sense. Unfortunately most people's understanding of fascism/national socialism is limited to military dictatorships and race science.

This is merely "every man a king" settlerism. Homes will be collectively owned and you will like it. You will not be permitted to live alone on a ten acre ranch.
@primarycatdad Socialism considers homes personal property. Private property under socialism pertains to the businesses, factories, mines, commercial farms. Etc. not your home or car or toothbrush.

its so awesome how hundreds of millions will die of famine and thousands of species will go extinct and everyone just shrugs because its inconvenient to reckon with the fact that we have to sacrifice so much to stop it
Polling shows YUGE declines in global warming interest, especially among young people. In 2019, 51% of young women said it was a top issue. Now thats down to just 15%. Is the fever breaking? My latest in @NRO

For those who don't know: The people of Gaza are currently living in only 36% of the total area of the Gaza Strip, 'inside the yellow line.' That means 62,000 people per square kilometer

I can't believe I read a Snyder book in 2019 before I got a grip and starting communism properly, absolutely mortifying
