Dear Zarah,
Would you be so kind enough to clarify the new Left Party position regarding Trans rights?
I was very pleased to see your public Instagram statement saying:
“I have always stood with the Trans community and I always will”
I shared this with my followers on my Mastodon account.
However, I was then alerted that Adnan Hussain had posted a reactionary comment on X a few days ago.
1/2
Is it the case that Mr Hussain is a full member of the new party?
Will Mr Hussain be invited to retract these hurtful words?
Sadly, even before the ship has sailed, there seem to be people within making big holes in the bow.
We can’t have this.
I can’t have this.
I shan’t be able to join or promote further.
Please don’t let these marginalised and oppressed people down.
With all my love,
Geraldine {redacted here}

Solar panels that fit on your balcony or deck are gaining traction in the US
@brooke @aojiaohu Can confirm it’s not the only market but surely the largest. Here in Texas, we’ve had several blackouts occur in the grid so backup solutions are needed.
I have two small ones that will just keep a few appliances running. This solution sounds even better without the commitment to a permanent install.
The image features a character standing on a vast, flat landscape with a horizon line in the distance. The character is facing away from the viewer, wearing a dark-colored shirt, pants, and a black hat. The background is a uniform, light blue sky meeting a similarly colored ground, creating a sense of endlessness. The text at the top of the image reads "ALRIGHT CAMPERS," and at the bottom, it says "TODAY'S CHALLENGE IS TO FIND A REASON TO KEEP GOING." The overall tone of the image is motivational, with the character seemingly contemplating the challenge.

This article is from May - there’s more recent information in a separate blog post from 11 August here: craftindustryalliance.org/insi…
Nobody really knows what’s happening with the Big 4 patterns, though. A friend works for Simplicity UK and has assured everyone it’s “business as usual” there. 🤷🏻♀️
What’s more concerning is that they control the ONLY tissue printers in the USA, which many indie pattern companies rely on, too.

California’s Democratic governor leads the charge in expanding state repression
On August 28 and 29, California Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled two sweeping initiatives that together mark a sharp rightward turn in state policy and expose the Democratic Party’s deepening complicity in the destruction of democratic rights. As he portrays himself as a bulwark against President Trump, Newsom is in fact laying the foundation for a massive expansion of state power against the working class and the poor.Under the guise of public safety and compassion, the Democratic governor has placed the California Highway Patrol (CHP) at the center of two major new enforcement regimes: a statewide “crime suppression” expansion and a “homeless encampment clearance” task force.
These measures are being marketed as alternatives to Trump’s deployments of federal forces into major U.S. cities, but in substance, they mirror their basic functions. Far from opposing the authoritarian measures emanating from Washington, Newsom’s actions mimic them, signaling a growing alignment between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration on the fundamental issue: the use of state repression to deal with the social crisis created by capitalism.

La imagen presenta un diseño con un fondo de color beige que evoca un papel antiguo. En el centro, se encuentra una ilustración de una mujer con un sombrero de bruja, vestida de negro, sosteniendo un ramo de hojas de laurel. El texto en la imagen es en español y dice: "Feliz lunes, brujita de luz! Que este nuevo amanecer te envuelva con energía renovada y propósito claro. Hoy, recuerda este tip mágico: coloca unas hojitas de laurel bajo tu almohada y pide claridad en tus sueños — las respuestas llegarán con la luna. Bendiciones infinitas,". El texto sugiere un mensaje de ánimo y magia para el lunes, con un toque de humor y misticismo.

A study released last year shows that when a state slashes Medicaid, crime rates go up.

So I may as well mention that Mrs Kedge decided to go back to the US for the foreseeable future.
Having seen the protest outside the consulate in Edinburgh, she felt that she wasn't doing enough to fight the fascists in her own country, and she wants to be there for her daughter.
We chat every day, have no plans to divorce, and we have the resources to support living separately. However, my green card was void as soon as I was outside the US for more than six months without prior permission, and has been officially rescinded - not that I'd travel there under this regime.
Mrs Kedge may have two or three months grace before her UK visa renewal next year is in jeopardy. It is entirely possible that we'll see each other only for visits here or in Canada.
It's a shitty situation, but I remain as ever, extremely proud of her.
The image displays a text-based interface with a dark background and light-colored text. It shows a table with four columns: "Process," "Active," "Delayed," and "Waiting." The first row is labeled "Deliver queue," indicating the context of the data. The second row contains the following values: "1" under "Process," "1" under "Active," "505" under "Delayed," and "0" under "Waiting." The text is aligned to the left, and the numbers are highlighted in a different color, possibly to emphasize their importance. The overall layout is simple and straightforward, providing a clear overview of the queue status.

# Australia - Anti-migrant rallies show need for anti-racist unity
solidarity.net.au/top/anti-mig…
Thousands of racists joined anti-immigration marches across the country on Sunday. It was a sobering reminder of the urgent need to organise in defence of migrants, refugees and Indigenous people.
The Nazis will take heart from the rallies. But most rally-goers were not with the NSN. In Melbourne there was a banner for Jesus and a sign against “demonic Freemasons”. Many in the crowd were anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists—all united by suspicion of government and rejection of migrants.
