University staff pay has fallen 25% since 2009 - with more cuts planned. They've had 35% cuts to their pensions. 90,000 are on insecure contracts. All while Universities hoard £40 BILLION in reserves. That's why staff are fighting back. Solidarity! #EnoughIsEnough #ucuRISING

Now that Starmer has proven his determination to purge Labour of its anti-fascist, anti-racist soul - by expelling Ken Loach - it is useful to read again Jonathan Cook's "The smearing of Ken Loach and Jeremy Corbyn is the face of our new toxic politics" jonathan-cook.net/blog/2020-04-0…

I just heard that Kier Starmer expelled Ken Loach from the Labour Party. I hope this is fake news. If not, all he managed is to expel Labour's soul, leaving behind an arid, soulless Labour Party - one that is even poorer than under Blair and his fellow war criminals.

Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. The climate crisis is a capitalist crisis. We need system change to avert climate catastrophe.

Capitalism will not solve the climate crisis.

Member of the homophobic, ultra-conservative, Westboro Baptist Church in KS were holding a protest of the upcoming Foo Fighters concert (devil’s music), so Dave Grohl decided to roll out an epic troll by singing, “You Should be Dancin” to them the bed of a truck.

As Greece burns, a message of solidarity to the firefighters, the volunteers, to everyone who is helping, to those struggling to breathe in the clouds of smoke. And, lest we forget, to Nature whom we, humans, have so unthinkingly subjected to human-made climate change.
