Tag yourself, I'm "The one that can't believe he just said that"

American Protestantism is a dead-eyed, grinning husk with nothing animating it but hysterical fear of death and a sadistic desire to inflict punishment.

What centrists are offering across the Western world is the opportunity for the right to consolidate their gains as hegemonic. They’re offering managerial competence in service to reactionary aims.

My best advice for parents re: harmful content: show genuine interest in the stuff your kid is watching and doing online. Let them talk your ear off about Minecraft and Roblox and the funny video they just watched. Make them feel excited to share with you, vs making them feel ashamed or judged

Oh, there it is. This is one of the reasons they ACTUALLY want these.

"Catastrophic" potential as 'Brit Card' Digital IDs could out Trans+ people, campaigners warn 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/catastrophic-potential-as-brit-card-digital-ids-could-out-trans-people-campaigners-warn

Excellent panel about Communities Fighting Back at #Cardifftransformed this morning, excited for the rest of the day's offerings!

Any government trying to introduce digital ID cards for reasons that can already be resolved by owning a passport is NOT trying to introduce them for those reasons. They're not idiots. They think the public are idiots.

I hate how gen AI is spoken about as if it was something inevitable. We could just simply choose not to use it, y'know. I do.

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

Instead of “checking in with your trans friends” have you considered doing literally anything to actively resist what is happening? Speaking up? Organizing? Attending protests? Contributing to mutual aid efforts? Even just calling your representatives? I don’t need another “u ok babes?” text.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

Damn, can you imagine how much nicer the place would be if the rapture happened

Accidentally raptured into heaven with all the evangelicals and somehow one of them has already set up the worst barbecue place imaginable. There's a banner out front where the illustration depicts a pig that has a goatee and is wearing a handgun in a holster. Everything tastes like corn syrup.

Beyond this, I also want to see leaders making the point that migration is good and right regardless of whether the receiving country "needs" those migrants.

Strange, the bully is kicking my ass even though I've been telling everyone how much I respect him. Maybe he hasn't heard

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

nora: btw South Wales folks who hate bailiffs and want to get some real political change rolling should definitely come to the ACORN union meeting on Monday the 6th of October, 18:45 in the Cardiff Quaker Meeting House

If you are starting a new party, unless you are a fascist, you need to sort out the potentially most divisive issues first, which means ensuring your party doesn’t welcome transphobes, zionists or “stop-the-boats” bigots.

"It's the fifth monthly rise in a row and the first time in 18 months such a high has been reached" Rising bills means rising debt and with winter closing in people are driven into crisis, made to choose between heat or food, while profiteers rake it in and ministers just watch.

Just my face getting stankier and stankier as this builds

From 2009-2012, the plutocrats/authoritarians saw how smartphone social media apps were historically effective in organizing working class uprisings at an unprecedented speed and scale, so they took control of the social media companies, inducted their CEOs into the plutocracy and, now, here we are.

If the legacy media had reported honestly the scale of the Trans Pride demonstration, they would not now be able to represent the Far Right demonstration as a sign of imminent democratic collapse and civil war.

i first asked to be referred to a GIC in my 20s and now I'm in my 40s Still waiting Roflmao

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Yay fire! Hope y'all had fun with our special Flaming Brunch! And thanks to @waywardpython.bsky.social for the impeccably timed raid during today's stream.

More than 80 MPs are landlords, cashing in on the same housing crisis they are supposed to solve. It’s a clear conflict of interest and that’s why Zarah Sultana, together with ACORN, has taken the fight to Parliament to call for a ban on landlord MPs! (🧵…)

grumpy old dudes love to say "she's never played D&D," which is so funny since even if you think I don't play at home... I've literally played D&D on camera and on stage live! are you a flat earther, too? at least come up with a better excuse, or people will know you just hate women, bro

It's not just that I find Democrats prostrating themselves to be gross. It makes them unsafe. Why should I, a Black queer woman, maintain any faith that these jamokes give a single shit about my material circumstances as they eulogize this horrible man. It sucks.

It is kinda funny seeing the worst most cruel most heartless people in the world shrieking about empathy. The thing they say is a sin, the thing they denounce as satanic.

i cannot think of a better example of glorifying violence than canonizing a man who devoted his entire life to portraying hatred as a legitimate system of belief and propagating it as far and wide as possible in mainstream culture

what the actual fuck

I wish for a day when American media has as much sympathy for the people Kirk wanted excised from society as they do for him.

News just in! "Violence is not ok" say long time perpetrators of violence after man who frequently encouraged violence and justified violence against children becomes victim of violence.

Calling it now

it's just always nice when "political violence" kills a random fascist instead of your friends and neighbours, what a treat

So much of the right has felt like domestic violence & this isn't any different. MAGA blaming the left for the violence the right has stoked (& perpetrated) & threatening *now* they're going to hurt us because we aren't being deferential enough. DARVO & "I'll give you something to cry about."

Hard to feel sorry when someone gets back the negativity they put into the universe.

I mean.... Yeah. Actually?

So I know I'm like 3 years behind but The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is really damn good?? WTH

I was feeling ambivalent or even positive about Your Party, but now it just seems silly. Why spend time trying to organise a party around people still doing infighting about trans rights when you could be organising around a really existing left-wing Green party?

I really need people to stop saying X is happening to trans people to distract from Y/hurt some other group. They are attacking trans people because they want to attack trans people. They are hurting trans people because they want to hurt trans people. Thank you.

NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨 Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt. But there’s another way. Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇 🔗 acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/

Something that really hurts every time another set of massive name actors affiliate themselves with Harry Potter is that it shows just how normalised Rowlings extreme anti trans crusade so these people can count on the media not making an issue of it

I'm starting to think I'm going to have to keep a spreadsheet of all the fuckers happily taking openly fascist money [not out of necessity] so I can just... avoid consuming their products or talking about them.
