Bringing attention to the abomination of private jets should not be considered a crime.
Is the technicality that the death penalty is barbaric.

And I also watched this video, which discusses how some of the claims have either been disproven or are the subject of ongoing investigation: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RQSA4aqXNSY
It’s important to watch this entire interview. Definitely unwise to have rolled their eyes, especially to a family member of a hostage, but the guest being interviewed repeatedly made unfounded claims, citing groups confirmed to have spread misinformation/propaganda.
Congratulations, Bailey!

Is Luke Akehurst Labour’s Untouchable ‘Bigot’?
The Israel lobbyist and handpicked MP candidate has spewed misogyny, antisemitism and anti-Black racism, as well as supporting US torture sites. Is there anything Labour won’t let him do?

Research has revealed a litany of antisemitism, anti-Black racism and misogyny among the now-deleted tweets and blog posts of Labour candidate Luke Akehurst.
This is definitely obfuscation, also known as spin. Hopefully they are in real trouble in some seats and this is their desperate attempt to solve the problem.
Hopefully.
Wouldn’t adding a cable and avoiding the environmental impact of batteries be better? In some countries lawn equipment has been electric but connected to an outlet for decades.

Pay me $45bn or you won’t get your AI chips. That’s some 1D chess right there.
His intention is to redirect AI chips to bribe Tesla investors into voting for his ludicrous pay package. This shouldn’t be read as anything else.
Constituents of Durham North have already raised close to £6k to oppose Luke Akehurst’s NEC stitch up candidacy. https://cdn.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/opposing-luke-akehurst-in-north-durham/
Right-wingers love to disrespect the flag. Seems to contradict their allegiance to the flag, and the liberty and justice for all it is purported to represent.
Such contempt for local parties and constituents. Hopefully some of these safe seat para-candidates can be beaten by local nominees from other parties.
Many more principled members will follow. Labour is morally bankrupt and has nothing but contempt for its members. It is simply the Establishment with a new face.

The involuntary celibate community (aka ‘incels’) are often thought to be rightwing, white supremacist, and prone to violence. But how much of that is true?
Ash Sarkar is joined by William Costello - a researcher whose work focuses on the psychology of incels - to discuss what we get wrong about incels, what incels get wrong about women, and the catastrophe that is modern dating culture.
Biden "is violating Article I of the Constitution by carrying out airstrikes in Yemen,” tweeted Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

The U.S. and U.K. led a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday evening, setting off alarms globally about how the attacks play into the smoldering regional risk of conflict — including a stream of questions from Congress about whether Biden was legally authorized to conduct the strikes at all.

Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.

Conservative lawmaker Chuck Grassley likes the look of Rachel Reeves’ tax proposals.
![US Republican senator praises UK Labour’s ‘Reaganesque’ policy](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/96390e98-8be0-4da8-9c7a-e2f5e6ff1767.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
The U.K.'s Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has won plaudits from an unlikely source for taking a tough line on taxation after she pledged that the Labour Party would not introduce a wealth tax if it forms a government following the next British election.
U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, said in a post on social media on Friday that America's Democratic Party should "wake up and take a cue" from Reeves.
"She is for wealth creation. She feels u don’t tax ur way out [of economic problems]. U grow ur way out," he wrote, adding that the British opposition's policies are "very Reaganesque."
In an interview with the Telegraph last weekend, Reeves ruled out introducing a levy on accumulated wealth or owned properties despite calls from some on the left of the party to back more radical solutions to the cost of living crisis.
She also confirmed a decision to shelve plans to raise the top rate of personal income tax from 45 pence on the pound, as Labour shifts onto a campaign footing ahead of parliamentary elections expected next year.
The move, which Reeves said she hopes will ensure support from wealthier voters and secure investment from business, has drawn ire from supporters of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Left-wing pressure group Momentum described the policy shift as "shameful" and “a political choice to favour big business and the 1 percent over ordinary people.”
Grassley, an 89-year-old conservative Republican, has consistently opposed higher taxation in the U.S. and pushed for repealing the estate tax on inherited assets, as well as backed looser gun-control laws and states' rights to ban abortions.

Using gender-neutral language has become standard practice in both journalistic and academic writing, as you’ll see if you consult the style manuals for different academic disciplines (APA, MLA, and Chicago, for example).
Tackling gendered references in your writing can be challenging, especially since there isn’t (and may never be) a universally agreed upon set of concrete guidelines on which to base your decisions. But there are a number of different strategies you can “mix and match” as necessary.
