#OnThisDay 50 years ago, the Portuguese people went to the polls in the first free elections since the overthrow of the Estado Novo one year earlier. It boasted the highest turnout in Portuguese history, 91.66%, and marked the first ever elections with universal suffrage.

cannot articulate how deeply, knuckle-draggingly stupid the current Labour ideologues are. A party of tedious, callous middle managers chasing the farts of the far right because their entire political project is “win”. They should all be fired out of a cannon, I’m not joking

communism is when government does thing I don’t like (affordable supermarkets). when government does thing I like (carpet bombing the middle east) that’s just business baby

Conservatives love tweeting shit like this without mentioning what was happening between 1961 and 1974 that required the economy to ramp up massively, or the economic impact of (rightly) granting independence to the colonies. It’s always “line goes up” with zero thought

In 1912, Mary Leigh threw a hatchet at Asquith’s head. The suffragettes carried out a bombing and arson campaign that lasted two years and killed four people. And much like Palestine Action, they were on the right side of history.

I am begging you to do the tiniest bit of research into what the suffragette movement actually did before you compare Palestine Action unfavourably to them

No shade on Openhire, who provide an important service, but advertising a joint lighting & sound designer role (what?) for below London Living Wage makes me despair even more at the state of the industry, ffs
