6 people held on terrorism charges in Britain for protesting against UK arms shipments to the IDF are currently on hunger strike – not that you'd know that from UK media. People who haven't been convicted of anything are being held in solitary confinement, letters from friends and relatives withheld
'There is a temptation to see all of this as heavy-handed policing or bureaucratic overreach. But that understates the cohesion of what is happening. This is not an accident; this is architecture.'

The criminalisation of conscience — Common Weal
A new wave of criminalisation is sweeping the UK, targeting activists, communities, and anyone who refuses the official narrative. Here’s why the terror label is no longer about terror.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

God knows I've vehemently disagreed with many politicians in my voting life, but I have honestly never known a generation of politicians so lacking in basic political talent or ethics as this one. Right across the board.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Yeah, this is definitely amongst the coolest things I’ve ever done. #MiniPferds are entranced. @reallyfubar.bsky.social was right, though - really regret not getting the light set for it. Always next year!

Yes, exactly this. I never leave my following tab. I choose who I want to see posts from. Period. It's easy, so why complain about something you are literally choosing for yourself of your own free will?
I see people here complaining about the algorithm. Get off the Discovery or Popular tabs or whatever and get onto your "Following" tab. Using an algorithmic feed here is entirely optional.

A DOD "Memo" saying no prosecution will happen isn't going to save you from life in a military prison for murdering civilian fisherman. Taking orders from a Fox News host who ordered you to do it isn't going to look real good to a jury.

🧵 As we look towards the #LateLateToyShow next week, it's time to remember that everyone - including the State - will expect us all to donate generously to the very worthy causes supported financially by the Toy Show Appeal. Let's think about this.

We never talk about, when there is such a feel-good factor around such fundraising drives, and we marvel at the amounts raised, how the State should be fully funding many of these organisations to do this work. OR PROVIDING THESE SERVICES ITSELF. Because we have a right to public services.

As someone who has worked for charities, still volunteers with charities but also someone who worked on the 'other side' in a public body I agree with Anne-Marie. Charities are filling the gaps where LAs and Govt are failing to act.
Duty of Care is outsourced.
Another legacy of the Victorians.

Glinner repeats the usual lie that the Irish GRA was introduced in 2015 "without debate." Gender recognition in Ireland took the traditional, unremarkable 12-year route through the courts & the legislature, with ample consultation & debate. teni.ie/gender-recog...

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.

This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

A truly Black Friday.

Him doing this after pardoning the ex-president of Honduras who was convicted on drug charges just goes to show that this isn't about drugs at all.

He's risking our troops lives to try and steal Venezuelan oil.

It's not about Venezuelan drugs at all and never had been.
