The Semantics of Suicide, "those who are curious about the human condition and seek to take people seriously, with respect for their dignity, liberty, autonomy; should not expect to realize these aspirations in psychiatry." criticalpsychiatry.co.uk/news/the-seman…

Binaries that you are either ‘neurodivergent’ or ‘neurotypical’ are created and used to offer new products as found in the dizzying numbers of gender identities on offer. Is this hyper-individualism liberating or eroding of social solidarity?

Max Blumenthal just exposed a shocking corruption of the British justice system. Six activists from Palestine Action went back to court after being acquitted in February. They had already served in prison, staged a hunger strike, and one attempted suicide under extremely harsh conditions. Now they face potential terrorist sentences.
But here's the kicker: the jury is not allowed to know about the "terrorist" designation. They're being led to believe they're ruling on simple criminal charges. If they convict, a biased judge — a former barrister for MI6 and the Metropolitan Police — can then sentence them as terrorists
The UK has become a police state for Israel

Anyone who desires an ADHD diagnosis can receive it. The entire label is illegitimate.
Yet people are developing an entire identity around it.
English
In an ideology that creates fractured, superficial identities, we discover the same superficial labelling (such as ADHD/Autism) acting as an escape from this torment, reimagining we are made whole again by the latest consumable we’re encouraged to identify with.
English
Picture I took a couple of days ago of an advert on the London Underground. Now try and convince that ADHD hasn't been turned into a scam for profiteering.

Mental health treatments often focus on how a person might better 'regulate' themselves. But if the problem is the model of human being promoted can this approach make you feel worse? madinamerica.com/2026/04/therap…

Suicide rates rise at the same time as the proliferation of suicide prevention strategies. Something is going badly wrong. What does this say about our models for understanding suicide and mental health more broadly?jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

If you have been reluctant to believe that the (so called) Labour Party is imperialist through and through, you no longer have any excuse to continue to hold that view

🚨🇬🇧🇺🇸 BREAKING: Starmer confirms he is building a 30-nation military coalition with Trump to "milirarily open" the Strait of Hormuz. Not diplomacy. Not negotiation. Force. The ceasefire was just a pause. Now the West is preparing to break Iran's chokehold with warships. Iran owns the strait. The West wants to take it. This is not peace. This is the next war loading. We may yet see NATO - including British - war ships at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. This is where the imperialist @UKLabour party and @Keir_Starmer and @wesstreeting have landed our country.

@HCWsAC @CrispinShow @CAGEintl @GhassanAbuSitt1 @Tracking_Power @UnityNewsNet @DanielFooksArt @Rehiana1980 @DajjalSlayers @HussainShafiei Thanks to you all 🙏 I am safe and sound. The complaints are spurious, groundless and vexatious. They come from @wesstreeting in particular. He is abusing his position to weaponise the regulatory framework and police against me - for calling out his war crimes. He will fail✌️🇵🇸🇮🇷

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨We are very alarmed to hear that our friend, colleague and HAC director Dr Ranjeet Brar has been arrested this morning following his legal and political speech outside the US embassy on Sunday.
A worrying escalation against healthcare workers - being pushed by the "israeli" lobby and @wesstreeting
Dr Brar is a Consultant Vascular surgeon. He does not belong in a prison cell.
No exact details as yet regarding the nature of the alleged "offence" - we will keep you posted.
We do know that the usual suspects were calling for his arrest.
Supporters are urged to attend from 5pm:
Wandsworth Police Station
146 Wandsworth High Street, London, SW18 4JJ
Free Dr Ranjeet Brar!

Where is the anti-war movement? We are seeing more clearly that freedom of speech and democracy are rhetorical illusions far removed from material reality
The Communists@CPGBML
thecommunists.org/2026/04/09/new… On the morning of Thursday 9 April, the police again came to the home of Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), to arrest him for making a political speech outside the US embassy (see video attached), on charges of “antisemitism”. Not only have the police arrested him, they arranged to have him suspended from his work as an NHS surgeon for at least two weeks – no doubt with a view to further suspension and ultimately with the aim of depriving him of work. We call on everyone who supports free speech and opposes imperialist war crimes to share this information far and wide. And to send us video messages of support. Let the Labour government know its crimes are not going unnoticed and will not be unopposed. Stop political policing in Britain before we lose all right to political speech and political organisation!
English
You monitor yourself, find yourself inadequate in some way, and so keep consuming to fill whatever hole you feel you have found. This is capitalist alienation. Do you agree?
English
Do you really believe there is free speech in the UK? Stop political policing and blacklisting! Release and reinstate Dr Brar now! thecommunists.org/2026/04/09/new…

We’re told to constantly self-examine, self-improve, self-optimise. So we do the work of judging who fits in on ourselves. Self-awareness becomes a pressure loop, turning us into products: new, improved, striving to be better. But who are we really doing it for?
