Lords a-leaving: Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years
"Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords."
"On Tuesday night members of the upper chamber dropped objections to legislation passed by the House of Commons ousting dozens of dukes, earls and viscounts who inherited seats in Parliament along with their aristocratic titles."

#Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.
In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.
The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.
@irina Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.
It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

I don't need roses, flowers, and "happy day" wishes. I need #equalRights, #equalPay, and a change of our (again) hyperpatriarchal societies. Not only on paper but in life. The backlash we experience since our fights in the 1970/80s, makes me angry, not happy. And it should be clear that #feminism includes the fight for #transRights and those for #LGBTQ. #Democracy must live #diversity. Authoritarians treat us as enemies. Let's stand together!

This week, 4 prominent Chicago faith leaders called on Illinois to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting to mitigate polarization and vote-splitting.

Did you know?: FairVote Illinois is advocating for ranked choice voting in Illinois? SB2004 is currently in the State Senate, which would allow Illinois municipalities (including Chicago) to adopt RCV if they choose to do so via referendum.

If the attacks lead to anything other than a #liberal #democracy blossoming in #Iran, they will have failed. And the odds of that happening are very, very thin.
If the objective is to neuter Iranâs #missile and #drone capabilities, great; but then why is the administration saying this could last for âweeksâ? I we need that much time to achieve that limited objective.
If the objective is to stop their nuclear program, then (a) it has stopped under JCPOA, from which this president withdrew; (b) this same president had announced after the 12-day war that weâd removed that threat, so was he lying then, or now? And (c) the Iranians were by all reports ready to give up that program during negotiations, before these attacks. So WTF.
Thank you for these important thoughts. The work for #democracy or #climate protection never ends.
That's why I prefer to show real people or #activism to tell about possible role models and #visions to say: Look, it starts small, it takes a lot of effort, but you too can find something to get active - you are not alone. Even it's something very small.
It is much more important than boosting (even in disgust) the voices of the destroyers again and again.
