Cream coloured text on a rust red background. A crack cuts through the image halfway down. Text reads: END TIMES FASCISM AND THE FIGHT FOR THE LIVING WORLD NAOMI KLEIN & ASTRA TAYLOR Farrar, Straus and Giroux | U.S.A. Allen Lane | U.K. Knopf Canada

I've been a bit quieter than usual these past months because @astra.bsky.social and I have been going deep into what we are calling End Times Fascism. The research has been bleak, I won't lie, but it's also been inspiring.

In her UK Budget, Reeves is increasing the tax burden on ordinary citizens to avoid taxing vast wealth. Then she’ll wonder why the economy doesn’t grow! The economy is made by millions of us spending our pounds, not by multi-millionaires buying a new yacht or aircraft.

Make BSL mandatory in UK schools now! Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

A cool petition for UK folks, on the introduction of BSL to schools

Manchester synagogue victims named as home secretary criticises pro-Palestine marches – latest The men were killed when an attacker used a car to ram into the grounds of a synagogue, then stabbed worshippers

How fucking DARE the home secretary conflate marching peacefully against a genocide and this despicable terrorist anti-Semitic attack.

We condemn genocide, and we condemn the Manchester attack.

UK PM Starmer says people have a right to 'peaceful protest' after anti-migrant march British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said people have a right to peaceful protest after more than 100,000 demonstrators joined an anti-immigration march through London on Saturday, but he condemned assaults on police and said Britain was built on tolerance and diversity.

…… unless they are members of Palestine Action or anti-Zionist Jews like my dad, who is being charged for allegedly publicly calling for a protest outside the BBC (he didn’t even actually do it!)

Pretty twisted having a weird xenophobic rally using your own damn flag to demonstrate how much you hate migrants.. Like, you supposedly love your flag and country but you're using it as a hate symbol? Where's the genuine passion for your culture in that? Tf

In the wake of disabled people begging our MPs not to cut vital support and the cuts bill passing this is a really great time and opportunity to show MPs what their support or lack of means to us

Does your MP engage well with you? Let them know today.

Disabled folks and carers in the UK:

Scope is looking for answers (anonymous or named) to some questions on how your MP interacts with you.

They're going to meet with MPs and share your responses.

Get involved!

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

The Final Delivery Plan for ME/CFS has been released today.

The full report was shared with some organisations and media outlets late yesterday. We’re (still) waiting for it to go online.

A short 🧵with some thoughts…

RSE guidance is “patently and cruelly transphobic” - community responds to ‘Section 28 2.0’ curriculum It has taken a "trans exclusionary" approach and received widespread condemnation from the LGBTQIA+ community

And SSRIs! So common! So many features on this list are incredibly common and not all are well known to cause heat-related issues. Hit your depressed friends up

Want to highlight this point:

ANYONE taking antihistamines (lots of people are, pollen is very high) is at higher risk of heat-related illness.

Please check this thread for advice but make sure you're staying hydrated and keeping as cool as possible

HEATWAVE ACT NOW! Drink water -small sips, .often. Find cool - shade, fans, damp cloths. Close & open -close curtains by day, open windows at night. Check on others check or visit older people, babies, anyone higher risk or alone. Know the red flags: Confusion, dizziness, fast breathing 'all NHS 111 / 999.

It's really surprising the lack of news items picking it up

It’s partly because the bill and system is complex, MPs and journos struggled to grasp it. But truthfully, it is largely because PIP cuts are deemed to matter more. Many claimants have jobs! They’re deserving! Click on most news sites and you wouldn’t know there’s a vote tonight.

The Government don’t want you to know about this. Disability cuts will force hundreds of thousands of people into poverty unless we act.

Happy disability wrath month darling

Two bills have passed recently in Parliament: assisted dying and the welfare bill. In neither of the debates did long Covid or clinically vulnerable people get a mention. How can an estimated 409 million with long covid and 3.2 million in the UK not be relevant? Especially when our government is 🧵

So trans women can't give blood because biologically they are female and have female ranges for everything, but the NHS has decided we are legally male and we must meet male ranges in order to donate?

I want to scream. The science denial around trans people and biological sex is hurting everyone

Disabled people aren’t the enemy.

Trans people aren’t the enemy.

Immigrants aren’t the enemy.

Stop allowing the fascists to dictate who you’re willing to sacrifice.

Refuse to see anyone as expendable.

We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.
