Overall abortion rates have increased since Dobbs, but abortions for medical reasons have become more difficult to access. Horror stories of women dying, nearly dying, or birthing dying children have been reported on a regular basis in states with abortion bans.

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.
Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.
So every year prices go up more than wages.
It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.
It's billionaires
Netanyahu and his thugs are completely untroubled by the cognitive dissonance of Jews behaving exactly like Nazis. Even to embrace their own concept of Lebensraum in a “Greater Israel.” Israel should live within their 1948 borders and stop attacking their neighbors to seize their land. Fuck Israel.
Left- Israel has destroyed Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites.
Right- Israel is stealing more land from Lebanon just like they are doing in Gaza with their "yellow lines".
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
July 21 1935: Architect Leonhard Gall submits plans to the Führer for a large ballroom to be added to the Old Reich Chancellery. The stated purpose is ceremonial and representational, fitting the Führer's desire to project power to foreign guests. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A second, deeper bunker is built beneath this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed. Sound familiar???
Looks like Donnie is going full cosplay on his hero, Adolf.
A die-hard Trump supporter told me today he’s done with Trump. He said he won’t vote Republican this Nov. He won’t vote Democrat, he just won’t vote. He said it was this war. “I voted for the fucking OPPOSITE of this,” he said.
It’s just one voter, but I hear the same from others every single day.
If soldiers have no legs they are not ‘walking around’. If they have artificial legs (or prosthesis) then they have legs.

A poster that reads, “Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.”

Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.
Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}

The Financial Times reports that Ukraine is being offered a form of partial EU membership, which would allow participation in meetings and discussions, but without voting rights or access to the common budget. France and Germany are currently discussing this option.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...
Make it make sense.
Israel expelled Palestinians from their ancestral homes & stole their land, which is still happening in the West Bank & Gaza. Israel attacks their neighbors, commits war crimes & genocide, deprives Palestinians of their basic human rights, then claims Israel is the REAL victim.
Abortion rates in red states have not decreased, aside from medically necessary ones. Pregnancy has become much more dangerous. slate.com/news-and-pol...
People all “they’re targeting Christians too” haven’t been paying attention to the Zionist occupation of Palestine for the last 78 years.
Things not going at all well for Putin: not in public opinion, not in the economy, not on the battlefield.
BBC News December 2024:
‘Farage has meanwhile said that he "might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he's a very intelligent man" and would be good choice for ambassador.’
