But the spirit of punk rock is to agree with the establishment, no?
Hahaha
Why the fuck weren't the Flobots brought to my attention before?!?!?!!?!
The desperate attempt by conservative media to portray #BobVylan as a "posh white boy" tells us a few things, in no order.
1. PASCAL IS A POSHO NAME!, They are desperate to enforce a sectarian class division to that working class people reactivly disengage from his words.
Yvette Cooper will go down in history not only as having aided and abetted the Gaza genocide but, by designating Palestine Action a terrorist group, also as having opened the door to (further) authoritarianism in Britain.
What a total and utter disgrace.
News stories targeting supportive MPs, picking out an Elbit campaigner who had pictured himself with a toy gun, and slagging off Sally Rooney for showing the mettle to defend non-violent direct action.
The mainstream press is going into overdrive to "justify" the proscription of non-violent anti-genocide group Palestine Action. We, on the other hand, will be taking possibly our last chance to talk openly about their bravery and impact on our livestream tonight. 7.30pm www.youtube.com/@freedom9763
Like every workplace, it seems Parliament is grappling with the negative consequences of the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC advice on sex and gender. Far from creating ‘clarity’, we are now seeing clearly that they are making day-to-day life difficult and humiliating for trans people.

(English below) “Wieso heißt ihr eigentlich Sea PUNKS?” - werden wir oft gefragt. Jede*r von uns hat da ein bisschen ne eigene Antwort drauf. Zu Beginn ging’s uns vor allem darum, einfach loszulegen, einfach zu machen - gegen alle Widerstände. Fünf Jahre später sind wir noch immer dabei.

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵
Still not up for WWIII, to be honest.
Can we not delay it for at least another 100 years?

All these sports banning trans women from taking part in women's sport is awful.
A shameful stain on their history
Not even the first time the FA has banned women from playing football
Peter Linebaugh: “May Day is about affirmation, the love of life, and the start of spring, so it has to be about the beginning of the end of the capitalist system of exploitation, oppression, misery, toil, and moil.”
Why we went to court for defamation: freedom of speech means accountability for the truth
We call on all people working in publications to uphold their dedication to the truth and stop feeding racist narratives against refugees and people on the move!

This morning, I logged on to Twitter and saw the charred remnants of Palestinian kids.
They'd been burned alive by Israeli weapons.
Every day, the most obscene crimes imaginable being committed, facilitated by Western politicians and media outlets.
The reckoning will be brutal

malicious right wing cranks, who are being used as a political weapon by the very worst people in the country. And
"Real love, the only kind genuinely worthy of the name, is a kind of dialectical overcoming. It only becomes possible at the point where one comes to understand the full reality of one’s beloved, which necessarily, means encountering even those qualities one finds infuriating, loathsome, or detestable. . For surely, if you know enough about anyone, you will find something in them that you hate. But it’s only when one encounters that, and decides nonetheless to love them anyway, that we can talk of love as an active, redemptive, and powerful force. And some element of hatred, however small, must always remain there for this to continue to be true. Real love can only be love if it conquerors hatred, but not by annihilating but by containing and transcending it, and not just once, but forever." . - David Graeber

If my (very limited!) understanding of Occam's Razor is correct, then I think Trump, Musk, Starmer, Reeves, Meloni, Macron, Putin, etc aren't evil geniuses.
They really are just stupid.
And we let them get away with it.
Friends, I've an album out which you can buy for £5 here: cowlesz.bandcamp.com/album/the-ze...
Well... it's more a collection of half-finished songs, a demo if you like. But it's still alright, I guess.
The proposed demolition of Old Trafford to build a corporate theme park that could have been designed by Homer Simpson is another sad example of billionaires kidnapping football — and destroying something special about Manchester — in the name of profit.

On the ground, the ceasefire declared on 20 January has been repeatedly breached by the Israeli military in Gaza. Over the last days, Trump’s special advisors have sidelined Israel and started direct negotiations with Hamas.
