obviously motability doesn't sell anyone cars, and this is bullshit to justify a fascist agenda, but honestly it should be a goal: policy should be directed towards all but eliminating cars not necessitated by disability. fuck a third, let's aim for 90%!

British military equipment exported to the UAE is being used by the Rapid Support Forces to commit atrocities in Sudan. ✍️ Take action now to email your MP calling for an arms embargo on the UAE!

lol so many people made this argument years ago and it was the most embarrassingly wrong macho snob opinion even then. literally there's one basic, non-original concept in common, and then a bunch of classic disdain for anything popular with teen girls

We're at a point where reducing prosecutions and incarceration isn't a principled leftist stance, it's the only pragmatic way to keep the system functioning at all. This is an unpalatable reality for carceral ideologues so they have to grope around for magical fixes.

not gonna boost that arsehole any more than she already has been but the only correct stance on abortion is if you don’t support full decriminalisation then you do support forcing people to be pregnant and i wish we used this framing more

well this was the most predictable thing

cn: transphobia surely we just need better leopard training? make sure they only eat the right faces? it can't be that hard?

buying my cousin's boyfriend baby clothes for the secret santa cuz when a baby's born everyone buys the mum baby presents instead of stuff she wants while the dad gets what he'd usually get. suck it boy, no craft beer for you

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

a reminder that on the day the details of nina power self-identifying as a nazi & running dedicated neonazi accounts was published, the foremost luminary of what calls itself a women's rights movement had this to say. don't give them the cover of calling them terfs. they're garden variety fascists.

well I guess they gotta milk all the perks they can get while they still have power cuz none of these fuckers are gonna have a career again. at the going bribe rates I guess this must've cost kao data at least fifty quid

honestly, think even this is over-generous. largely they don't even get so far as knowing anything about how people live being a consideration, because they don't conceive of them as actual humans with lives in the first place. just committed&gleeful racist absolute dehumanisation all the way down.

When you’re so deep into dehumanising refugees you convince yourself there must be a nefarious reason they take care of their children rather than yknow, love

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.

While this is sorta true, a lot of yr favs have defended or celebrated Polanski, Johnny Depp or Woody Allen, or cheerled genocide, and to some degree you've turned a blind eye. There is likely no mainstreamish film media that doesn't involve people in at least one of these categories.

Post-Remembrance: No one has ever died in a war fought by the British state "for your freedoms", unless they were fighting against it.

would love if everything about the benefits of enabling active travel over cars (good, necessary, fuck cars so much) didn't constantly come with some bullshit about "obesity" and "strain on the nhs". fuck offfffff

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Palestine (particularly pre-2023). Hate crime laws. "Good" politicians. Prison. Borders. Family abolition. Hamilton. There are some issues which often definitively distinguish good political instincts from liberals who believe they're not liberals, and I unswayably believe this is a key one.

heads up we're doing a lil spooky virtual queer sober dance party again tomorrow for the hallowe'ens, in case anyone here wants to join. the hallowe'en mixxes are always my ridic favs. www.outsavvy.com/event/30642/...

aye so heads up: those things can very much mess with ocd. sorry not having a go at anyone, but also plz be aware.

I don't think political naivety is an inherent moral failure, but I do think the degree of it required to believe the lib dems to be anything but a malevolent force is sufficient to axiomatically disqualify someone from having political credibility on any issue.

watching wednesday and, all other issues aside --- the writers think that goody was a name, don't they? like this isn't an ironic historical nod or crucible reference or something, they actually think it was just a popular name?

tapping the sign because of the mlc-ignited discourse

Can anyone explain for me why Minister For Disability And Ancient Evils, Stephen Timms, gives such an overwhelming Lib Dem vibe? Is it the fringe?

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.

lotta ppl talking about how the maccabi fc fans are actually banned for hooliganism, which sure, is true, but does feel a lot like people not wanting to express the argument that the national representatives of the genocidal zionist entity should be international pariahs, forever, no matter what.

Israeli TikToker and fitness trainer Hen Ben Moha, who has over 189k followers, posted a video showing her trainees exercising to the song “May Their Village Burn,” a track referring to Palestinian villages and glorifying their destruction.

Any comrades out there able to help me with a website project for reporting wage theft anonymously? I can pay a bit out of pocket a bit and will be trying to get a grant to expand it.

So far TODAY Israel has: - bombed Gaza City - bombed Khan Younis - shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City - refused to open the Rafah border crossing - announced they would once more block aid This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

I was tryna find a nearbyish space to w*rk cuz our internet has gone out and --- ??????

my partner is still eligible, and despite multiple immunocompromising conditions, this (because it is counted as immunosuppressing) appears to be the actual basis. so yeah, if this is you, check in.

heads up here's the latest saviour casually dropping that there needs to be more prison spaces.

as another season of drag race uk starts, remember how they set up the entire last season for the tory cruise ship queen and she still lost? lol

literally the entire purpose of the word "populism" is for liberals to equate far left and far right as being equivalent threats without having to name specifics, and if it's in yr vocabulary you should sear it from yr brain

The fascists Starmer's policies are designed to court will always hate him, & anyone who isn't fine with those policies hates him too. Leaving, what, niche fascism-neutral tech-idolising technocrats in wilful denial of his obvious incompetence and lack of understanding of anything he supports?

Brilliant thread from @keyne-unable.bsky.social on why the introduction of digital ID (and the encoding of 'birth sex' in a single government record) has long been an objective of anti-trans campaigners in the UK 👇

One thing to add to this: looked at like this, it's not hypocrisy nor empty words that the UK continues to aid Israel's military while recognising Palestinian statehood.

That last paragraph: the "fear of a line crossed that will end any hope of a two-state solution" has been repeated for decades. Each time Israel has then crossed the line, but anyone who doesn't believe that "solution" is still viable & something Israel is committed to is intransigent & unrealistic.

FUCK. I'm looking to leave my w*rk. But they offered a course and I thought yeah, I'll take them up on that while I'm here. Now HR have sent a contract saying I need to repay the cost if I leave within 12 months. Wtf to do? Say I'm planning to leave? Eat the cost? Is there a secret 3rd option?

no media ever affects anyone in any way. everyone is able to perfectly assess the information before them, and to make unbiased, rational decisions just like right wing economists say, and to suggest otherwise is basically identical to endorsing 1990s conservative moral panics

huh I heard charlie kirk cancelled all his upcoming speaking events too, must be something going round

look none of us know who kirk was killed by, but this whole "haha fascists are so stupid, they couldn't organise anything" is extreme unserious liberal cope in the face of a movement that has been assassinating its enemies for years and has organised its way to every position of high power.

when ppl talk about the environmental impact of ai, there tends to be little discussion of how steep the distribution pyramid is. fag packet calculations, a 100-minute movie will use around 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) times the electricity of a pleb's ai text prompt.

Everything you need to know about the western press: Reuters called its own camera a “Hamas camera” because Israel called it a “Hamas camera” after they bombed the Reuters camera.

your party, greens, everyone acts as if we could win at politics if we could just choose representatives with the best beliefs and intentions but the beliefs and intentions of politicians - good or bad - are way down the list of what determines actual political outcomes
