Texas's proposed redistricting is designed to guarantee Republicans 30 seats no matter what. In a blue wave election you could imagine a handful of those flipping but even in that scenario the new districts are less favourable for Democrats than the current ones

Please add your name & share if you can. We don’t have lobbyists who can pay vast amounts of money to get into the halls of power.

Keir Starmer did not recognise Palestine – and that’s unforgivable youtu.be/GeJZmDuTxPQ?... Keir Starmer has not recognised Palestine. Despite media spin, he’s placed conditions, granted Israel a veto, and ignored the suffering of Gazans. This is not foreign policy. It’s appeasement.

Asking Londoners: Is Flirting Dead? youtu.be/aqZ5nzAgve0?...

Starmer's position is a two state solution, but he doesn't recognise one of the states & only brings it up as a bargaining tool. The State of Palestine is the inalienable right of the Palestinians & should be recognised IMMEDIATELY - not in September. Need a bargaining tool? SANCTION ISRAEL NOW!

Seems almost nobody with any tech savvy has made the move from Twitter to BlueSky. The "we don't have a clue how it works but we'll just trust the government when they say it does" handwringing brigade are 100x louder on here than on there. See also: "AI? Aargh! To the pitchforks." Depressing.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the proscription of Palestine Action as “disproportionate and unnecessary”, warning it risks creating “a further chilling effect” on protest and dissent. A full judicial review has now been granted and if successful, the ban will be overturned.
