"The new party from Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana has already had almost 600,000 sign ups. To put that in perspective, the Labour Party had 564,443 members at its peak during the Corbyn years when it was the biggest party in western Europe."

"As Zarah Sultana pointed out in an interview with Novara Media, we were told to leave Labour so we did, and now we are told we are splitting the left-wing vote, but we are the left and we are taking all of those votes."

"Around the world, authoritarian regimes are increasingly using religion not just as a cultural instrument but as a strategic pillar of political consolidation. This strategy—in which states co-opt religious institutions to lend moral legitimacy to power, stifle dissent, and craft nationalistic narratives—is now a fixture of the authoritarian playbook."

~ Amal Chandra

in reply to William Lindsey

"Authoritarian regimes don’t just politicize religion: they reconstruct it to consolidate power, recognizing that spiritual legitimacy shapes identity, loyalty, and meaning. By reengineering faith through state-approved narratives, reincarnation claims, or religious law, they strip believers of spiritual agency and frame dissent as heresy."

TIL I learned that police plant "abandoned" cars everywhere hoping to tempt people to break into them and steal them, so they can arrest people. They apparently often snag people just wondering why the heck there is an abandoned car on their street.

Sketchy, but sadly not surprising.

I had to deal with a small RV abandoned in the alley behind my house, which was not technically my land but an easement belonging to the neighboring church - and they initially didn't want to pay to tow it.

It took a while to deal with it, and I was about ready to break in, pop the clutch, and roll it off into the street.

Reading your other thread, I could see myself getting in some trouble if the RV was a similar car left there for a week or more.
