I see the English parliament is proposing free bus travel for 5-15 year olds till the end of August!! In Scotland these children can travel free all year round and on the train for a quid!!Following the SNP lead once again!!

In case you missed it over the weekend, JK Rowling-backed Sara Morrison lost her tribunal against the Belfast Film Festival. "The tribunal found that the evidence presented to them did not support Ms Morrison’s claims and dismissed them “in their entirety”."

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

One of these things is not like the other

This shouldn't need saying, but... The CHIPS Act has language on increasing the number of transistors on a chip, not the number of "transgenders" as Trump claims. NIH was working on projects with transgenic mice, not "transgender mice," as Trump claims. He assumes everyone is as stupid as he is.

More media sneering at Zack Polanski Portugal decriminalised drugs in 2001: Drug deaths fell from ~80 a year to ~16 2012 low) HIV infections from injecting drug use dropped by over 90% No surge in overall drug use Meanwhile, England & Wales had over 4,900 deaths in 2022 Evidence beats sneering

Even The Spectator. “being cursed with vision, hearing and sanity meant enduring an event that made Truss’s premiership look like a model of tact and foresight.” Attendance at the Far Right CPAC was described as the equivalent of “the attendance at a paedophile’s funeral”.

In a rare moment of good news Andrew Tate and his brother have been arrested. HahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahaha!

I've seen this.

Heather Herbert has been arrested. Malicious communication is the accusation, so language posted online "causes distress or anxiety to the recipient or to any other person to whom they intend that it or its contents or nature should be communicated." Heather, alongside every trans person online 1/

Why is Kemi Badenoch never asked about the hefty funding the Conservative party has taken from the oil industry and its lobby groups whenever she talks about her decision to scrap her commitment to Net Zero?

It’s not just that they’re cautious about saying that directly, it’s that saying that would directly contradict the narrative they are pushing. Our media are a core part of the anti-trans movement in the UK. They call us men, and call anti-feminist transphobes “campaigners for women’s rights”

the entire framing of this article is ridiculous, both JKR and Kellie Jay Keen are mentioned without the transphobia that both champion (and Keen's fondness for neo Nazis) being mentioned explicitly.

A great lesson to every small org out there, you can make yourself lawfare-resistant by having clear procedure and sticking to it, documenting as you go. It wont stop GCritters taking jobs to sabotage you, but you can survive their tantrums on their way out.

BBC burying the lede here until paragraph 3 - JKR bankrolled this and LOST. I repeat - JKR bankrolled this lawfare against the Belfast Film Festival and... LOST. It can be done! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

YOU WON'T SEE THIS ON CNN, MS-NOW OR FOX NEWS! Left- Spain, Mexico, Ireland and Belgium have joined the GENOCIDE case against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Right- IDF protects Israeli settlers as the storm the old city of Hebron.

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

George Cottrell helped Farage with a camera crew so he could go into the English Channel and film the boats to “warn the nation”/aka whip it up into a frenzy of racist anger… But when it comes to rich aristocrat fraudsters funding him, Farage believes in “Christian forgiveness” Oh please. (Times)

"An end to UK exploration would send a clear signal to investors and consumers that the UK is committed to the 1.5°C global temperature goal. That would also help the UK in its diplomatic efforts to strengthen #climate ambition internationally." - @thecccuk.bsky.social #AndyDon'tBurn'Em

"In a celebrated essay entitled Ur-Fascism Umberto Eco reflected on fascism in the Italy of Mussolini and asked the question: are there common features to fascist regimes?"

When I said "they're going to create psychological torture camps with our taxes & call them private schools" back in 2002, everyone thought I was crazy.

Do your children or you fancy writing some poems? There are 11 poetry workshops on our channel here, where I give you ideas for writing poems. All 11 are called 'Michael Rosen Poetry Workshop'. (Wearing a fawn jumper in these vids!) www.youtube.com/c/MichaelRos...

The money being charged by private sector for these services is also insane. Averages in excess of quarter of a million per child, it’s basically price-gouging. Taxpayer funds are being flushed away when the same money could employ far more people directly to give much greater provision

We’ve lost the capacity to care, private equity (PE) cashing in. 81,770 looked-after children in England, up 18% since 2015 Foster carers down 10.4% since 2021. People not fostering - low incomes, poor housing, low govt help. Fostering financialised. PE profiteering. What future for children?

Wessex Water, owned by a Malaysian entity via Jersey, CEO got 14% base salary increase despite bonus ban over sewage spill. 3.5% for workers WW loses 70m litres of water to leaks daily. Dumps sewage in rivers. Customer bills to rise 21% Bosses rewarded for robbing people, damaging the environment

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

Bobcat parade! This camera is on a grassy strip just behind the house. Clearly it is a favorite prowling spot for the bobcat locals. And no, the last two clips are not the same clip, just looks that way! #mammals #nature #cats #caturday #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #PNW #animals #nokings

If you're arresting people at the airport on their way OUT of the country, your goal.was never border security. It's filling for-profit concentration camps.

I will once again note that I am a cis woman and have more than once been misgendered and/ or mistaken for my husband on the phone. So many of the things transphobes think are reliable sex markers just aren’t.

1. Why is it defined as 'violent r*pe'? ALL R*APE is, by it's very nature, VIOLENT! 2. 3 years 'payback order'? WTAF? 3. Surely there is a secure hospital to which he can be sent?

It's almost unbelievable how much Labour as a party is committed to hating immigrants, to the point that they'll tank the economy to kick out the foreigners. A party so institutionally married to xenophobia that it can't be saved.

The Trump administration wants to conceal George Washington's role in the history of slavery. Here, you can read about how the people that Washington enslaved or indentured sought to escape from captivity, and about the Native Americans who defended themselves against his attacks:

CN transmisia, transphobia, situation for trans kids in the UK

I would *love* for this to become a top search result for trans "social contagion" & "grooming" – please watch it tonight (while it's still newly released) to help convince the YouTube algorithm to make this happen!

Cairngorms wildfire is ‘not contained’ and still burning hard, residents warn https://www.europesays.com/britain/85228/ The RSPB said about 300 hectares of its reserve at Loch Garten, Abernethy, had been burned and teams…

I just did. “Todd Blanche” brings up 35 results. Here’s one of them. We could speculate what this particular email says. But there’s not a lot to go on!!

The landing…

Ragging on people's appearances kind of sucks, but talk about glass houses/stones/etc 😳

I’m so happy for them

Guy catcalling a woman from his car: "You like dick?" Woman, casually: "Only from girls" I love Portland

29 men, 4 women and a bin wasting a colossal amount of money in a fake bullshit election to fuel Farage's ego, while dozens of people in Clacton sleep in tents on the beach and in closed shop doorways, and my kid's nursery begs for old toys from parents. Livid, disgusted, exhausted. Sick of it all.

Lights out and away we go! #Clacton

Walking in our farm's rainforest with the melting heat of these days, I am filled with such inexpressible anger at what is being done to our once stable climate. The richest 1% are actively, knowingly, and uncaringly sabotaging the future for all of us, and for the rest of the planet's life.
