Arrest the provocateurs along with those committing the violence. This is another moment for the government to draw a line. Defend the rule of law and the officers standing on the front line. Protect the dignity of the victim’s family.

VAN HOLLEN: There was a pattern of false statements MARKWAYNE MULLIN: There was not a pattern VAN HOLLEN: Oh, I would say three in a row in Minnesota is a pattern MULLIN: A pattern of three people is not a pattern

Pastor Mark Burns: Supporting Ukraine is America First. Why? Because if we don't stop Russia now by making sure Ukraine has every single bit of resources it needs to continue to defend herself, then ultimately Russia is not going to stop with Ukraine.

May as well ask people to shout "I am trans! Please kick me!" whenever they enter or exit a room, just in case Helen Joyce is in the area and might feel a disturbance in the force

this is my kind of company motto right here

This is some really interesting stuff if you're into OTA rekeying

A statement from Sikh MPs on the murder of Henry Nowak.

New post from me: on last week's fantastic conference on Rewilding The Web. This was the authentic grassroots conference, not Mozilla's plagiarised corporate cosplay version. heatherburns.tech/2026/06/02/r...

Scottish Greens once again helping the SNP do their dirty work

A lot of people are apparently going to get a crash course on why everyone thought Just Stop Oil were absolutely mad to want oil to just stop

I've just written a bespoke email to my MP, Euan Stainbank (Labour), asking him to sign this Early Day Motion. I also discovered on the UK Parliamentary website that Euan joined the Human Rights (Joint Committee) last month, which I believe adds a layer of responsibility.

Oh, you can't write a 5-page book report without AI? I fucking wrote 5-page book reports without having read the goddamn book. Get your finger out of your ass.

I will keep fighting for better guidance and for a change in the law. There is no point keep repeating that Trans people are protected in law, when we are facilitating discrimination in the next breath. 6/7

Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.

Now sounds like a great time for supervisors to assign some reasonably complex rush coding work and see whom among them is a botlicker

Listen, when he said “tomorrow belongs to me”, he was referring to promising upcoming local elections,

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Three police vans with lights and sirens going up crow road

"Tank-fly, boss-walk jam nitty-gritty, you’re listening to the boy from the big bad city."

"Those same governments have actively worked against peace in the war in which 1.5 million Ukrainians and Russians lie dead or wounded" - crankfest 2k26

Exactly this. The problem with fiscal rules is not that they set a limit on borrowing but that they lead to stupid gaming which makes things worse.

But you said AI was never sick :(

Peter Mandelson is not dead. Andy insists anyway. Labour +18

It's really easy to aim snark at companies and brands making tokenistic Pride Month efforts, but they're much better than the ones that see the opportunity to make a tokenistic Pride Month effort, but actively choose to do nothing.

Whats the difference between 5, 8, 13 eyes?

We only went and won it!! 🎉🎉🎉 A newsletter has just won the biggest prize in British journalism Absolutely delighted. Huge thanks to Khadija and to all Democracy for Sale’s supporters 😊

This is foul

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Pride is a protest. #PrideMonth

OTD in 1996, as per the Budapest memo guaranteeing their territorial integrity, Ukraine handed their final nuclear warhead to Russia. They also gave the entire command firing chain, delivery vehicles heavy bombers (Tu-22) & 1068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war

Don't call him Mandy.

Seema Malhotra repeating platitudes about sensitivity, adaptation, inclusion etc while defending guidance which is frankly designed to enable people like Jim Allister who think transpeople should simply not exist and remove all their rights because it's "biological reality". It's disgusting.

This is an absoloutely appalling response from the Government minister.

this is going to go on all summer, isn't it

Parliamentary debate on Code of Practice - @sarahowen.org.uk describes code as ‘fundamentally trans exclusionary’ and cites worry of drop in European LGBT rankings

Marilyn Monroe as Theda Bara by Richard Avedon for Life, 1958

‘On how far we’ve come’ yes trans people who were having to go into hospital for chemotherapy or a bad bout of pneumonia didn’t used to have worry about being outed, harassed and humiliated in the process. Now thanks to your party, they do! Nice work x

Dear Ed, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em

When you're just not picking up on the signals

No Strait This Month, Happy Pride

Fundraising idea for Labour: the Mandelson files, but with extra commentary from the people in them doing the 'of course, yeah, DEFINITELY would love to meet. I have a slot after the Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane' emails commenting on the rest of the files.

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

Cave. A show about an opium poppy addicted neolithic healer, who is a misanthropic genius with an unorthodox style.

Nietzsche, the Stoics, and Ronald D. Moore at his worst, all high fiving each other.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! I’m celebrating by reading some Sappho. Our special Sappho episode with guests @stellduffy.bsky.social, @edithmayhall.bsky.social, and LiTTLe MACHiNe, is available to listen to on BBC Sounds. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Remember when UK lifted ban on russian aviation fuel? Taking the cowards choice as always the same result. Now they have no fuel and no honor

Tip to my fellow queer adjacent folks. You don't need to buy merch for pride. Just be an unholy banshee when people say shady/bigoted shit in your presence. It looks good, works for any sized body, and can be used year round.

France has detained the sanctioned tanker Tagor in the Atlantic while it was en route from Murmansk, Russia. This was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron. According to him, the operation was conducted on the high seas with the support of several countries, including the United Kingdom.
