This is genuinely, horrifically, extraordinary. Labour politicians - LABOUR politicians - arguing against citizens being able to make ethical investment decisions.
I do not want - and never would want - my money to support the arms industry.

New server so time for an #introduction
UK based in a very small rural town, currently working in a café at a nearby historic property which is home to a very large orchard and a 600 year old house. Former professional artisan baker (bread) now primarily baking at home and on a much smaller scale at work (cakes).
I love to cook, look after my garden - trying to balance wildlife and growing produce - and spending time outside usually walking/hiking with my husband or going for a run on my own.
Former Anglican Christian monk, absolutely against Christo-fascism/Christian Nationalism. I still worship in a church community and study theology for fun. Silence is a big part of my faith so a lot of what I read is about the Carmelites, Carthusians, Cistercians, and Quakers.
Very interested in permaculture, language learning, amphibians, fibre arts, and folk music.
I often describe myself as gay because it's easier than explaining that I'm on the aro-ace spectrum, especially now I'm married.
Some hashtags: #permaculture #BreadPosting #frogs #FibreArts #FolkMusic #GrowYourOwn

@olaf_radicke Klar, Gewalt geht gar nicht.
Aber ich würde mir auch verbal einen sachlicheren Diskurs wünschen. Aber das wird wohl nicht passieren, denn mehrere Parteien setzen auf verbale Eskalation als "Geschäftsmodell".
Ein Gespräch aus der Stille nach Art der #Quäker ist unter diesen Umständen sowieso illusorisch.

Judge Chang denied the plaintiffs’ request for a nationwide halt to #immigration enforcement in houses of worship. His order applies only to the #Quaker groups, the #Georgia-based #Baptist denomination & the #Sacramento-based #Sikh temple that sued.

![The image shows a black and white photograph of an individual standing in front of a small wooden building with its doors wide open. The person is dressed in light-colored clothing, including what appears to be a lab coat or medical uniform, suggesting they may have been involved in some form of health-related work.
They are holding something that looks like a clipboard or folder under one arm and wearing a head covering which could indicate their role as a nurse or healthcare worker. The building behind them is labeled "ONTARIO HEIGHTS FRIENDS CHURCH," indicating it was associated with the Quaker denomination, known for its plain-living ethos.
The setting seems rural, given the open landscape visible in the background and the sparseness of structures around. There's a sign that reads 'ON'TARIO' above one entrance door inside this building which could be an office or storage room within the church compound as indicated by another person standing inside at some distance away from the camera.
The ground appears dry, possibly suggesting arid climate conditions like those found in Oregon where Dead Ox Flat is located.

"There were many captive workers and #Quaker enslavers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland," Os Cresson writes. Looking through his family history, he discovered "over 1,550 people enslaved by 246 of my close relatives—counting Quaker and non-Quaker grandparents, uncles, aunts, and first cousins with their spouses."
But the story of his family is also the story of Friends being led to recognize the imperative of abolition.
