Where are the riots? How is stuff like this happening? Where is the reaction?

James O'Brien firmly campaigned for the Leader of the Opposition in the 2019 election, of course.
Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

according to the times the ehrc and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social want to ban trans women from 'single sex spaces'( whatever this means ) based on how well we pass.

passing is just how fuckable society thinks we are according to patriarchal beauty standards. it's as misogynist as it gets.

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.

Yet again, we are celebrating the death of an evil evil man, who lived a long and happy life without any consequences. It feels hollow, because Dick Cheney won. And now he's dead, so there will be no retribution for his crimes.

This isn't the slam dunk people think it is. These people don't care where these people were born, or when their family entered the UK. They fundamentally believe that only white people can be British, and everyone else is a temporary resident who can be deported.
Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

If you want kids to read:

-Reopen the closed libraries
-Give them free books
-Sponsor author visits in schools with high % pupil premium or FSM students
-Work on adult literacy

Then Y8s will have a chance of passing this test

Having a new born makes keeping up with online events impossible. Why are we all talking about Nazi tattoos? Surely a guy with one of them is obviously bad?

You dont need to tax people if the government simply seizes all the homes people own as part of their "portfolio." Suddenly, the housing crisis is solved and ot cost nothing.
Like I'm not saying "people on £110k are poor" or some shit but someone earning £75k and renting in central London is objectively different to someone earning £75k and also owning 3 buy to lets in East Durham.

James's fundraiser is only two and a half grand from reaching its goal. It's a lot of money for any one of us, but small amounts from a lot of us might push it over. If you can spare anything I'm sure it'll be appreciated massively

In the UK, they only teach the Tudors and Nazi Germany in history classes.

Apparently in America, they never learn about Nazi Germany.
Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

People in the UK need to wake up, this is fascism and its coming to our shores unless we do something.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

No pressure on Julian Feeld, @travisview.bsky.social, @jakerockatansky.bsky.social, and co, but the whole world is waiting for them to explain what the fuck is going on with Turning Point, the Groypers, and Charlie Kirk's murder. Legacy media is totally misunderstanding events

I do this in my work, and people often seem irritated by it, and it never occurred to me why until now.
