www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Good headline, right? But read on, it's not because she's realised he's a greedy, gluttonous, rampantly capitalist, misogynistic, racist piece of crap - it's because he's not Christian enough.

OMG all the white people all over social media today making excuses for Brigitte Bardot's racism & support for the fascist right. If you don't know what white privilege is, it's (partly) being able to overlook someone's racist views because you like other things they've done.

We have raised over £12,000 for Calais Appeal since 3pm today 👏

Shabe Yalda - goodbye to darkness, hello to light #yalda #shabeyalda #zoroastrian #persian

Surely the salient point here is that there is still a need for homelessness charities which are doing the work of government.

Here’s the link to donate 🥰🥰 Thank you so much to anybody who can give a little or even just share this appeal. Together we can make love win! ❤️ www.justgiving.com/campaign/tog...

"These women in Calais are in crisis, but they are not a crisis. Each is a person. And how we treat them tells us everything about the kind of country we are choosing to be." Read the rest here 👇 bylinetimes.com/2025/12/18/i... @bylinetimes.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk @care4calais.org

Everyone please report this fake account. The real Karen Ernst is a passionate pro vaccine advocate. Someone is using her name to spread antivax misinformation.

Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the heroic civilian who disarmed one of the Sydney terrorists. He was shot twice by the second gunman firing from a bridge and is now undergoing surgery for his injuries.

Horrible, vile attack on the Jewish community in Sydney at the start of Hannukah. We must all stand together against this kind of monstrous violence borne of hatred.

Can a capitalist approach to humanitarianism work?? Some business acumen on the organisational side of things might work but otherwise I have a sinking feeling about this.

"The plan announced by Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary, to create up to 60,000 places within mainstream schools" "The 60,000 special needs places include 10,000 included in special schools" So does it include special schools or not?? And what about post 16 & post 18 provision??

This is chilling! So my citizenship is likely to be removed if I'm a naughty girl?

www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Not enough prominent people are calling this out and too many politicians and journalists in the mainstream media keep doing this. Refugee = not illegal immigrant Refugee = not criminal Refugee = person fleeing persecution or conflict This is a matter of law, not opinion.

The Telegraph complaining about middle class snobbery ... do they know who reads their paper?? 🤣

✅ Take parcels to the Post Office ✅ Sort out Christmas presents ✅ Join the Green Party! 180,000 members and counting. Will you be the next? ⤵️

Has Sebastian Gorka ever been to Europe? Just wondering. It's unthinkable that a high ranking official in the White House is referring to human beings as "illegals." Nobody's existence is illegal. "Illegal" isn't even a noun.

If "nuts" means having realistic, pragmatic policies that benefit everyone then yes, we are. #votegreen #backzack

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Credit to Streeting for clarifying re "overdiagnosis" but the damage is done in the public psyche. I also wouldn't consider the support of the National Autistic Society proof of anything positive, as they've never really had the backs of autistic pple (1)

Yikes. Rwanda scheme x 10

How dare the BBC speak to people with lived experience - we wouldn't want voters knowing that refugees are human beings. And top marks to Zack for rattling everyone's cages with his responses too. Reform supporters are seething all over social media, their £9m donation can't change the facts.

What is wrong with Fiona Bruce? Why is Zia Yusuf being allowed to keep calling people seeking asylum illegal immigrants??

Question Time off to a crap start with nobody differentiating between refugees and migrants - they are not the same!!! And seeking asylum is NOT illegal. Hope Zack Polanski gets to speak soon!!

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Hope the BBC holds him to this! 'Farage launched a tirade against the BBC and said he would no longer speak to the broadcaster, calling it “despicable” and “beyond belief”.'

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... What a complete disgrace this country is

This International Day of Disabled People, we’re reminded that disability justice is deeply connected to every other fight for equity. Our struggles connect us. Our solidarity is our strength! 💥 #IDDP

Made a wreath today, at a free workshop run by a local initiative called the Green Skills Library - unfortunately they don't seem to be on BSky but you can find them on other social media if interested to know more.

So, jury trials in England and Wales for crimes that carry a *likely*sentence of less than three years are being scrapped. Can you believe this is happening, based on what a sentence is *likely* to be? Who will be making that decision? I hope the entire criminal bar stages a mutiny.

So this Andy Ngo (who I've never heard of before) has written a book about how he believes "antifa" is destroying democracy but he's trying to prevent others exercising their right to free speech - without which democracy can't exist. pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/gu...

Very happy to be supporting torture survivors with this purchase of festive cards & giftwrap from @freedomfromtorture.bsky.social

A shout out on this World AIDS Day to two men I knew who were lost very young to this horrible disease in the 80s and 90s, work colleague John - a very funny guy and Cayhim - amazing salsa dance teacher and only person ever to offer me a professional dancing job. Always remembered.

Local authority SEN teams should take note share.google/tv01LRJpHyFA...

"Almost no other European country uses juries, except sometimes in exceptional cases. Most use judges and examining magistrates. They treat trials as matters of possibly contested evidence" Those countries have an inquisitorial system, not adversarial. So are we retraining all the judges now?

There is a great deal about this bill that is still very worrying. In a society that treats disabled people as 'less than' in so many ways, I am not sure this legislation could ever be completely safe. Its very existence would be perniciously coercive.

inews.co.uk/news/politic... The Labour Party should probably charge its name to the Business Party. It certainly doesn't seem to have workers' backs any more. My maternal grandparents, who were lifelong Labour Party members would have been disgusted. #votegreen

Very weird that the Chancellor decided to launch an attack on @zackpolanski.bsky.social in the middle of the budget. Yes he's worked as a hypnotherapist, and yet has a better understanding of economics than an Oxford & LSE educated economist.

To all the people who keep saying a wealth tax won't work because the super rich will leave the country or move their assets to avoid it - the law will be changed to ensure that they still have to pay their tax. The US taxes their expats, so can we.

Why not do away with trials altogether and just have summary justice and a police state? It would cut court backlogs. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

I am seeing multiple, very impassioned, letters and emails from parents of disabled children to Richard Tice. Can I suggest if you are going to do this, please leave out your child's personal details and details of their daily difficulties. (1)

If you're on FB please go to the Newsnight post on Zack Polanski's page & report this vile anti Semitism

Just ordered my Xmas cards & wrap from @freedomfromtorture.bsky.social to show support for refugees at a time when our govt is completely failing its legal and moral duty to people fleeing persecution.

Has Shabana Mahmood considered deporting herself yet? Or selling her valuables to pay her own salary? These would seem the logical conclusions of her desperate attempts to please the far right.

"Left behind parents" - the new name for abusive fathers apparently www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
