Politics Without Politicians: The Case for Citizen Rule. Hélène Landemore. Review tendancecoatesy.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/pol… via @Pabloite

Technology is politics. You can't embed Palantir into the army, the police and the health service without embedding its poisonous politics. So there's no place for Palantir in our NHS. newrepublic.com/post/207693/pa…

#OtD 12 Mar 1912 the Bread and Roses strike won all their demands. The strike was organized by mostly women workers and the Industrial Workers of the World and included 20,000 workers. More on the strike: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e16…

The University of Nottingham @UCU branch is voting for another industrial mandate (and looking stylish AF while doing so!) If you are a member and want to fight back against compulsory redundancies, ridiculous student staff ratios, and course closures, get your ballot in NOW!!!

Professor Bill Mitchell on Universal Basic Income: "I actually hate it." Not because he's against helping people but because UBI dodges the real question and treats us as consumption units rather than societal members. #JobGuarantee #MMT #UBI mmtuk.org/job-guarantee

Today is the International Feminist Day of Struggle. In 1910, socialist feminists around Clara Zetkin called for 8 March to become a global day of action for women’s rights. Today feminists take to the streets worldwide — the fight for real equality continues. 🌹✊

@novaramedia Which Christian values? @GoodwinMJ 'The rich man in his castle, The poor...at his gate, God made them, high or lowly etc.' Or: 'I was hungry, you gave me something to eat; thirsty, something to drink; a stranger, you invited me in...' Matthew 25 Whose cultural heritage?

“I will not betray Christian values, I will fight for them and our shared cultural heritage,” Goodwin wrote. novaramedia.com/2026/03/03/mat…

@Post16Educator @visegrad24 @RMXnews Seems like you prefer the kind of migrant that lives off your taxes and rapes your children to the one who had a job and actually fought for your country. Or at best, you see no difference between the two. Now Polish people are leaving in droves. Enjoy the ramadan!

🇵🇱 🔴Poland has begun taking in immigrants from Somalia under so-called “international protection.” In 2024, asylum applications Ethiopians, Eritreans, and Somalians increased over 700% compared to 2023. These groups represent a small but fast-growing share of asylum seekers.

@rthrjsks @visegrad24 @RMXnews Well, there was a lot of anti-Polish feeling in the UK post-WW2. 150k Polish settled. Blamed for housing shortages, scrounging welfare, taking British jobs, being Catholic. Then the anti-Polish migrant campaign after 2004, inc. violent attacks on Polish nationals around Brexit.

@Post16Educator @visegrad24 @RMXnews Are you seriously comparing someone who was exiled for political reasons to fortune seekers from the third world who have literally crossed half of Africa and all of Europe so they can live off social welfare in the UK? 🤣 Are you getting paid for being this stupid?

@rthrjsks @visegrad24 @RMXnews As a kid, my neighbour was an old Polish bloke, ex-Free Polish Army. A refugee settled in the UK. Not sure he thought he had much choice in the matter or that he was responsible for turning his country 'into a shithole'.

@Post16Educator @visegrad24 @RMXnews They are escaping the shitholes they've turned their countries into? Evidence of this migration policy being a complete failure is even easier to find

@visegrad24 @RMXnews You can disagree with the Refugee Convention and Human Rights protections but the evidence of what people are escaping is not hard to find e.g., hrw.org/world-report/2…

@RMXnews Why is Poland letting in Ethiopian, Eritrean and Somali “refugees”? What exactly are they fleeing!?

Just one of several noisy, vibrant @UCUNUbranch picket lines @NorthumbriaUni today. We'll keep on doing this until the fight for pay and pension justice is won!

Question for the day: Baruch #Spinoza: "Why do men fight for their servitude as if it were for their own salvation?"

I spent years reporting on China's AI-powered repression of Uyghur Muslims. When I saw the Pentagon's threats against Anthropic, I immediately thought of China's "military-civil fusion," which forces private tech companies to make their innovations available to the military 1/4
