Should dementia patients be able to choose to die?
By Kaitlyn Sawrey

Families and dementia patients say they should be able to die on their own terms, so why isn't dementia treated like other incurable diseases? What would it take to change Voluntary Assisted Dying laws?

Disabled MP stays silent over key concerns as she says she will co-sponsor assisted dying bill

A disabled MP has announced that she will co-sponsor an assisted suicide bill as it returns to parliament, despite the strong objections of the disability movement to the proposed legislation. Dr M…

"Then again, perhaps Western Europe is returning to pre-modern norms about the sanctity of life and the value of disabled children. Plutarch recorded that disabled babies in Sparta were left to die of exposure. No less a thinker than Aristotle wrote approvingly of the practice. The key difference, it appears, is that the Dutch do it with needles instead."

"Assisted dying" = #compulsory #euthanasia for the #disabled. #Labour - & anyone else who votes for this wretched #Bill - are signalling that they want to get rid of us. It's a #Nazi AktionT4 Programme by another name - they're merely trying to dress it up & make it look cuddly & "respectable"!
Concern and disappointment as MP brings ‘deeply flawed’ assisted dying bill back to parliament

    Super Spy

    https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/2059762840748052594

    Seriously? A trained senior CIA officer’s best idea for hiding his ill-gotten gains was to store it in his house? Melting them down and turning them into something else was not a choice? Had he never watched The Lavender Hill Mob?

    ==========================

    Gen-Z and inflation

    A young Gen-Z woman found her mum’s grocery receipt from 2006. Many tears are wept – justifiably.

    In 2006, a dozen eggs set back the poster’s mom $1.28. Today at Walmart, 12 cage-free brown eggs cost $2.66 — a rise of 108%. 2.45 lbs of tomatoes cost $3.04, but today that same amount would set a shopper back $4.85, and for cherry tomatoes a whopping $12.42 — a rise of 309%. Cereal has seen some of the steepest inflation. While it cost the 2006 shopper $1.86, most of the cereals for sale at Walmart today would set a shopper back between $5 and $6. A bag of sweet peas cost 33c in 2006. Today a bag is $2.48. Ketchup has risen from $1.94 to nearly $5 — a rise of 158%.

    How To Reduce the Conservative Majority on the US Supreme Court

    Hopefully the prick who pulled this stunt will be tracked down and prosecuted. People have been killed in Swatting incidents.

    Make Washington D.C. Great Again

    Trump’s certainly doing his best work in the city.

    https://twitter.com/KLF/status/2059996858265542766

    People outside of DC don’t realize what a transformation this is. Union Station used to be packed with drugged out zombies shambling around screaming at passersby, and barefoot, piss-soaked homeless people passed out on the floor. Columbus Circle right outside used to be a gross dead fountain surrounded by dirt and tents. That is what used to greet you when you stepped off the train. Now we have an entrance to our capital city befitting an empire.

    Your Food on Colonialism

    The contemporary UK food system generally lacks the ability to apply race, gender, and class analysis to how food systems should change. The Sankofa Report: British Colonialism and the UK Food System delves into the numerous layers of inequalities in the current UK food system, stemming from the legacies of colonialism and exploitation. It highlights issues such as underrepresentation in the sector, food insecurity, lack of access to green space for marginalised communities and to the dominance of western epistemologies (theory of knowledge) in food research. Most importantly, the report emphasises that in order to create meaningful and lasting shifts, we must confront and address the forces that have shaped our present food system.

    Awesome shit from groups with titles like “Nourish Scotland”“Food Matters”, and “Nourishing Justice” and “Eating Better”.
