Over two decades ago, a Labour government repealed “Section 28” which aimed to prevent positive discussions about homosexuality and gay lives in schools. Now a Labour government pursues transphobia and erases trans and non-binary lives. Today’s political transphobia is basically recycled homophobia.

This is absolutely going to result in misogynistic male staff blocking whichever women they feel like from using the toilet because they find it funny, just hope everyone realises that.

Look around.

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

MAGA is currently trying to distract from Trump/Epstein by fabricating that the Trump shooter was trans. They cite that his DeviantArt profile allegedly had "they/them" pronouns despite the fact that legacy users w/o a gender selected automatically had "they/them" assigned to their profiles.

The government of Canada needs to directly address why a 95 year old human rights expert and former UN Special Rapporteur was treated as a threat to national security for coming to speak about Israeli genocide. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest. The feds ultimately used tear gas to flee, despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path and warning that cops didn't have gas masks. tinyurl.com/mt3sfh4j

Everyone has earned their monument. #Serbia

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

it’s weird how normal it already feels to get emails from congressional candidates about being beaten by the gestapo outside the camps

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

NEW: I scanned dozens of Grokipedia pages related to Texas. What I found were entries that downplayed slavery and promoted Texas secession, as well as an entry on the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting that said Great Replacement theory may be backed up by "empirical data." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Speech of Dijana Hrka to the Vučić's police, who are guarding criminals in Ćaciland (illegal paramilitary camp that gathers pro-regime criminals). This is disturbing and rage evoking. I would not want to be in their shoes when this explodes! #Serbia #Belgrade

Tensions escalated outside Serbia's parliament as hundreds of protesters gathered to support Dijana Hrka, a mother whose child died in a railway station roof collapse in Novi Sad last year.

Belgrad jetzt. Die Menschen stehen weiter solidarisch mit Dijana Hrka vor dem Parlament. Das Vučić-Regime holt über einen Seiteneingang immer wieder Schlägertruppen in den Bereich und hat eine bessere, lautere Anlage aufgebaut, von der heitere und nationalistische Musik abgespielt wird. #Serbien 1/x

This sickness is demonic..The for-hire protestors singing to a mother who has lost her son songs like "a mother came to find her son" while dancing and laughing... #serbia #hungerstrike #demons

"See you tomorrow, and every other day, until justice comes!" #NoviSad, #Serbia 2025-11-01

As Dijana Hrka came in front of the Parliament to start with her hunger strike, police pushed her out with shields. People started to protest that move from the regime and now the plateau is filling with people on one side and regime's criminals on the other, near the white tents.

My son's eyes fell out so they had to return them back. They dressed him up to cover his missing leg. I couldn't kiss and hug my child because there would be blood - Dijana Hrka.

See this young man? Strahinja Pantić disappeared on last Thursday. He was arrested on Monday and let go... And today was found dead... Ruled as a suicide... MY GOD!! 😭

For protecting the Constitution and citizens of Belgrade from pyrotechnic and broken glass being thrown at them by Ćaci, over 37 people were arrested last night. Including Vladimir Štimac, one of the most famous basketball players from Serbia. That includes also over 20 students, one is let go.

The paramilitarization of the US relies on a lot of local cops either getting on board or getting out of the way. It's increasingly clear that future accountability efforts including FOI will have to look at the state and municipal levels too.

Belgrad jetzt. Das sind schon irre Bilder. Eben sind die Student*innen nach Novi Sad losgelaufen, um am 01. November dort mit den Menschen der 16 Opfer zu gedenken. #Serbien

We (collectively) should be funding 100x the PhDs we do now. 1000x? More? The problems are infinite, we could devote so many minds to producing knowledge, and it’s a choice to strip this place to the bones, quash human inquiry, and devote so little for human flourishing

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

#GAZA: We've been living now through years of brazen undermining of agreed upon global norms and conventions such as international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. Should it come as any surprise that the definition of a ceasefire has become meaningless as well? ⬇️

Illegal regime's camp in front of the Serbian Parliament is on fire. There was some shooting. Propagandists are in overdrive now. My first reflex is that this smells like a false flag OP, just one day after EP resolution where this criminal camp is mentioned. #Serbia #Belgrade

I'm meant to advise colleagues on a funding strategy soon. If my advice is anything other than "do not waste your time applying", it is shit advice because it's unrealistic. If it's "do not waste your time applying", it is also shit advice because of career demands. Welcome to academia!

Close to 30 person got arrested on Rustaveli Avenue during the 329th day of the #GeorgiaProtests. Some also got injured during the arrests. People got arrested from the sidewalks as well. Handful amount of arrests visible in this video.

“Medical staff did not give her any food, water, or pain medication for several hours. Much later that evening, after a significant loss of blood, Lucia was transported to an emergency room approximately an hour away, with her arms and legs shackled.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Just in from #Gaza: Morten Rostrup, emergency doctor, working inside Al-Aqsa Hospital, describes receiving dozens of wounded after the Israeli airstrikes across the #GazaStrip yesterday It killed more than 45 people and injured over 150, according to the Ministry of Health.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

»11 Monate, 0 Antworten« lautete heute das Motto in ganz #Serbien. Das ist eine Aufnahme von der Kreuzung vor der Juristischen Fakultät in Belgrad um 11:52 Uhr. Das tägliche Gedenken der Opfer. Der stille und stärkste Protest. Für heute Abend sind landesweit Aktionen (Gedenkmärsche) geplant. 1/x

These kids are not homeless: they are protecting their high school from closing and from their stupid principal. The principal fired 30 professors because they support students. And almost no adults to protect the kids. We as students support the kids in their fight for justice.

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.
