🤔 We don't think the shaming, mocking, and belittling of the super-rich has gone nearly far enough. We need a lot more of it - up to the point where being a billionaire is something to be routinely ridiculed and despised - and, hopefully, taxed out of existence... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I made this because as far as I can see nobody else has?

Proving that I am not anti-human rights by suing one of the world’s most prominent human rights organizations

Got a few DMs asking for advice when it comes to eclipse prep, and given that the August 12 total solar eclipse is just 4 weeks away, I put together a simple guide. The UK won't have totality, but it will be over 90 percent, so please sort out your glasses! www.theastroholic.co.uk/august-solar...

Anti-trans groups are really going with “Trans people are a Jewish conspiracy to undermine the family.” It’s straight out of classical fascism.

EXC: Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Once you start mass removal of citizenship on political grounds you've stopped functioning as a viable democratic state. But that was always where this agenda was heading.

Just a reminder that the BNP’s policy on repatriation was actually a lot more liberal than what’s being proposed here lmao

In case there was any doubt. Restricting access to benefits isn't enough for Conservatives/Badenoch. They want to deport/"remigrate" people who came here on legal work visas, not because of (debunked) claims about benefits/fiscal costs but because they've embraced an openly ethnonationalist agenda

It's weird to me that discussions of JK Rowling always being a dick never being up the fact she spent her time at Amnesty International drafting books when she was supposed to be documenting war crimes in Africa.

While JK Rowling and Amnesty are being mentioned in the same breath it's worth remembering why she lost her job there.

Anti-trans groups have been calling themselves women's rights groups, LGB groups and child safeguarding groups for the last decade. It is and always was a fiction. They are now leveraging that fiction, using Rowling's money, to try to take down anyone who points out that they are anti-trans groups.

Update: I've completed profiles for all organizations listed as "conversion practices" in Amnesty International UK's report: Core Issues Trust IFTCC Living Out Genspect Therapy First Thoughtful Therapists SEGM CAN-SG Journey UK True Freedom Trust Living Faith www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

Obviously having three hard-to-far-right parties and a void on the centre-right is dreadful for democracy but it also seems politically foolish for the party that has always succeeded by not being that

Victoria Casey KC argued that the Cass report ‘is generally regarded outside the UK as not sound’.

Farage thrives on gullible people like this woman who are only too willing to believe every word he says . People need to wake up and realise that they are being taken for fools by Farage .

Explain it to them, like a four-year-old.

Thread; These are some of the wins Amnesty International has had around the world for women. No GC transphobes have campaigned for women to even 100th of the extent that Amnesty has. 1/n

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

"The wearables have become so alienating that many people have taken to simply referring to the shades as 'pervert glasses.'"

This is the report Gender Criticals don't want you to see and they want to censor with legal threats. It also proves how anti feminist the gender critical movement is since a good portion of the report documents anti abortion groups tied to far right Christian fundamentalists.

In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery. Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade. TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?

JK Rowling offers to fund lawsuits against Amnesty is a headline that will cut through.

GUYS - I’ve just realised what Farage is going to do… The thing is he now has NO WAY to proceed which doesn’t humiliate him. If he wins, he is, as Rachel Reeves put it, The Man Who Spent His Summer Arguing With A Bin. If he bails, he’s The Man Who Fled From A Bin. And if he LOSES…

No. Go away. Fuck off.

Someone at The Telegraph seems a bit titchy about this all. Which means one big thing - it’s working.

Thrilled to see more criticism in the popular press about "ultra-processed food"

I think Mahmood is unwise to have framed her comments in this way unless she has some information she hasn't disclosed that these "concerns" are justified. It seems as if no-one is capable of waiting until the facts become clearer before drawing conclusions: www.facebook.com/GBNewsOnline... 1/2

The fact that not a single MSM outlet has reported on JK Rowling threatening Amnesty International into silence & forcing them to censor factual reporting is horrifying & shameful. There’s not been a more egregious attack on free speech & human rights in the anglosphere’s recent history

Just to state a fact that Anne Widdecombe was not a MP she was a celebrity political activist

This was obviously sheer theatre 😡 bsky.app/profile/sirm...

'“[employers] require new jnr employee[s] to repay a sum broadly equivalent to his total salary in first six-mth period on the grounds that he has benefited from being ‘trained’ by employer”. This looked very much like indentured labour to us – a disgraceful exploitation of graduate vulnerability'

I'm so proud of this. A deeply exploitation practice, screwing over vulnerable graduates, that we have pursued since 2018, finally ending with success in the Court of Appeal. 💪🏻

Aaron Parnas @aaronparnas.bsky.social Federal judge nullifies Trump’s illegal IRS settlement and refers his lawyers to the bar to get disciplined.

🔴 Reform UK Plans To Jail Candidates For Using Irish, Gaelic Or Cornish On Election Leaflets EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage’s party propose amendment to the Government’s elections Bill which would mean candidates using Irish and Scottish Gaelic would face up to six months in prison

Many of the groups Amnesty wrote about are discussed in our episode and I’m grateful to the lawyers who helped make that possible youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

ACTION THIS DAY… Please email @amnestyuk.bsky.social to give them your support for the list of anti-trans organizations, which they are felt under pressure to withdraw… Email: [email protected] Here are my thoughts…

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

This is why the Philosophy Tube episode on conversion therapy in Britain was so carefully worded and went through lawyers first! It’s difficult to educate the public on topics that rich and powerful groups do not want people to know about

What folks don't get about these groups is just how powerful, well-connected, and legally literate they really are. The research Abigail cited here, we took to no less than 20 press outlets before putting it out online, and most of them folded under legal threats, killing the stories dead.

This moment asked so little from them. All they had to do was pay their respects, express their sadness and join the chorus of horror about the manner of Widdecombe’s death. But even that was evidently beyond their moral capacity inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

Blessing the timeline with this.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.

Just me walking up the road so I can turn round and march back down again like a tit for the camera.

Voting 🗳️ for Farage will end the NHS and this will be our future 😡 we need more discussion about this.
