Young Democrats: hey maybe don’t kidnap my international friends

Young Republicans:

Labour’s policy has, in my opinion, intentionally brought it into conflict with the ECHR because they, like reform, have every intention of manufacturing consent to leave the ECHR.

Essentially what reform promise to do out loud, labour seek to do by stealth.

Shabaka Mahmood could equally have argued that European rights watchdog criticising the conditions German concentration camps would have been an “intrusion into domestic policy and national security”. And indeed this is exactly why the ECHR was founded. 1/

The Commissioner for Human Rights has written to the UK – warning that trans people's human rights are at risk.

Were you aware of the fact that we’re still buying products from occupied Palestine? And if this headline hadn’t happened, would you be aware of this?

The point is to grab attention. A quiet protest which doesn’t succeed in this is a failed protest.

Also “special treatment”??? Not being subjected to systematic prison rape is “special treatment”? Not getting my healthcare banned is “special treatment”? Civil discrimination bans are “special treatment”?

Dude, the privilege off of you. You reek of it.

What was the veto for Gavin? Were your fists getting itchy from not punching down enough lately?

Sam Altman’s last resort is to try and compete with the AI erotica scene which if anyone’s curious, has been a thing for years.

Nothing innovative about this move.

Kinda the last perverted gasp of a dying product

Every time someone says "Canada isn't racist" I pull up one of these stories

What is the point? That we’re supposed to like this historic icon of demonic greed and sin because of tradition?

A lot of people used to like Bill Cosby but then we did this crazy thing called changing our opinion?

It wouldn’t be a good protest if it was quiet and convenient would it?

Exclusive: @zackpolanski.bsky.social backs Scottish and Welsh independence in new interview with me: open.substack.com/pub/abolishw...

This is a very important legal case, whereby the enforcement of equal human rights for trans ppl, ruled by the European Court of Human Rights, is actually carried out by the British govt. Having not done so, as legally required, brings the British state into disrepute, & undermines human rights.

If they want to be part of and contribute to our society, we should help them to be able to do that.

That's why we should help them learn English and integrate. Help them help us.

I fucking love that he does this. Not only does he refuse to let Piers have the last word but he also presses the fact that Piers has a problem with trans women.

This is, fundamentally, just a question of bigotry. That’s the only reason Piers cares, it’s an opportunity to punch down.

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

If Polanski can’t have an opinion about women’s rights because he’s not a woman, Malone can’t have an opinion about trans rights because she’s not trans.

It’s only fair. Or does she think this is a one way street?

Thank you to @scotnational.bsky.social for picking this up and putting it on their front page

How are you going to ask a Jewish man if he knows what the word Nazi means lol.

Christopher Columbus was a man so cruel to indigenous people and slaves that he had his rank withdrawn was thrown in prison by the royal family of Spain in 1500.

There’s your education.
