Today, the Government have yet again gone on the attack by singling out Disabled people as a burden on the benefits system.
Utterly untrue, but we continue to be the whipping community for ALL government economic failure.
Enough. This is just cruelty.

I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.

📰 DR UK in the Big Issue :

“At the end of the day, we all want the right support when we need it… these dangerous changes, which, if unchecked, will make the UK’s social security system, already one of Western Europe’s least generous, even worse”

If you asked every single person receiving benefits to give two words to describe their experience of the welfare system, I doubt you'd hear a single mention of 'fairness' or 'compassion'

If We Must Die by Claude McKay. One of the greatest poems in literary history. Take a few minutes to read this powerful poem written during the Harlem Renaissance and influenced by the writings and scholarship of W.E.B. DuBois.

If We Must Die

If we must die, let it not be like…

[ Appel à la Solidarité ]
La Via Campesina (Official EN) appelle les gouvernements du monde à:
- mettre fin à l’apartheid et à la colonisation
- assurer un avenir à la Palestine et au peuple palestinien
- assurer que justice soit rendue face aux crimes contre l’humanité

Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze.

When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.

The UK supermarkets flogging industrial meat and dairy. New analysis from Sustain and Friends of the Earth 👇

The depths this govt will sink to know no bounds - bundling ppl who've escaped war & torture into detention centres, trying to forcibly expel people to Rwanda - spreading fear & anguish in our communities.

We must resist together. Ways to take action 👇🏽theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

I am disgusted by reports that the Home Office will begin rounding up and detaining asylum seekers, in preparation for deportation to Rwanda.

This is a terrifying, repulsive election stunt from a government devoid of humanity.

We will resist, together.

Can progressive #foodpolicy end #foodinsecurity ?

US doctor describes witnessing starvation in northern Gaza. UK doctors have been showing the UK Govt the evidence, NGOs submit harrowing briefing after briefing. And everyone says the same thing - UK Ministers are basically indifferent and refuse to act. bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…

It’s wild that the US lectures the world about “democracy” while presiding over an international system where it repeatedly vetoes decisions supported by the vast majority of humanity.

It's not too late to register for this event to hear our very own Bonnie VandeSteeg discussing with Luis Acevedo who controls the land and why it matters! #LandJustice

Disability Rights UK responds to todays benefit announcement which reads as a crackdown on Disabled claimants!

#Cows need to be respected.The colonial urge to 'improve', 'make better' 'enhance' is a denial of the sentience ,self organisation & self regulation of all living bengs .It is based on the arrogance that a few rich men are superior to nature & all humanity in cultural diversity

Congo is the heart of Africa, if the heart bleed, Africa bleeds. There is a globally ignored Genocide ongoing in Congo. Mainly ignored because the world is benefiting from the killings.

The US is complaining China makes too much cheap stuff.

But they’ve made cheap stuff for decades. In fact that kept US inflation historically low.

Now China is doing something they didn’t expect: it’s moving up the commodity chain.

The 2030s = the decade of Western cope.

The climate justice movement standing for justice for Palestine.

The fight to end climate apartheid runs through the fight to end Israel’s apartheid & genocide
