The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

I am so sick of living in a world where certain groups insist art & culture be re-oriented to serve their tastes and whims when their own pitiful inability or unwillingness to critically engage with and contemplate creativity clearly demonstrate that art & culture are too good for them.

And it's getting worse. I walked across the city today and a guy in a van was leaning out of it to film an old asian guy driving his car who was obviously super uncomfortable. He's probably marked for the kill list now. The tabloid muckraking tactics are bleeding out to comsume everyone.

We talk a lot about smartphones making people reclusive and unable to meet irl, but really what needs more paying attention to is how many new forms of smartphone mediated anti social behaviour nobody knows how to deal with

There was someone in double Burberry at the hotel protest in Exeter who was apparently doing "audits" for a YouTube channel, filming people in an annoyingly aggro way. Apparently crowdfunding for afaict unrelated police troubles.

But it does pose a question of how to interact with them in public that I don’t really know how to answer. Ignoring them achieves nothing but they also aren’t really making efforts to get people hostile to them on their side - in fact they’d rather people did do the opposite

Our area is fairly mixed and I can imagine they know the reactions they’ll get will not really be particularly amicable. But important to know that this is very much the strategy of the party

There was a reform uk stall on our local high street today, and while it was relatively small they had a guy whose job it is to film interactions between them and locals, which feels both new and also incredibly desperate for attention
