It is genuinely astonishing that Your Party hasn't already folded out of sheer embarrassment. Every single day they find a new way for their pants to fall down

A new low in far-right appeasment from the UK Government. Border violence embeds racism, this includes denial or restriction of access to asylum. Who lives here belongs here.

This is truly the cruellest govt of my lifetime. Petty-minded and mean. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@alastaircampbell.bsky.social speaks openly about SENIOR members of the BBC being “so far over in the JK Rowling (read: ‘gender critical’ obsessive transphobe) camp” Let’s just stop and think about this for a moment…

Join us this weekend in Dublin or Online for our 23rd AGM! We have split this years AGM into two sessions to clear our afternoon for the Stop Climate Chaos National Climate March at 1pm.

and not for nothing, but i know several young adults who've had hip replacements - it's not just the elderly getting them (or getting some)

I just want to reiterate, if you are using the front page of national newspapers to say how the media are biased against you, the standing assumption is that you are acting in bad faith. Remarkably, being silent is a key component of being silenced.

A bit telling that The News Agents' chat where Maitlis boasts about her part in eradicating trans youth healthcare in the UK did not feature fellow presenter Lewis Goodall. Meanwhile he was writing this:

“Menos yates, más casas.” We went to a small town in Mexico to see how excited people are about Zack Polanski. Turns out, everyone agrees: tax the billionaires, build green homes, and make hope normal again 🇲🇽💚 @zackpolanski.bsky.social Credit: Adam Brichto

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

To remind you, Paul Givan unilaterally decided to order schools in NI to discriminate against trans kids because he couldn't be bothered waiting for the Equality Commission. Then he went on a trip to Israel.

The Assembly voted no confidence in Education Minister Paul Givan, yet he stays in post. Why? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mal O’Hara : “Stormont has limited mechanisms for ministerial accountability. A majority of MLAs backed the motion, but it failed because it didn’t meet the cross-community threshold. 1/3

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre. Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers. Are they worried by how some voters will feel about the prospect of an overdose prevention centre, 20 months out from an election?

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

“We're seeing a level of proliferation of bodies & body piles from space that's unlike anything I've ever seen…” Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond explains how more people could be killed within a week in Sudan, compared to the past two years in Gaza. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/sudans-dea...

absolute ghouls in government merrily waving in fascism

Directly from a PSNI officer in today’s Belfast Telegraph: ‘His message says: “I have been subjected to repeated homophobic harassment by my colleagues, PSD (professional standards department) and far-right activists with disturbing amounts of influence over this organisation.” [2/4]

This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men. This will be used to abuse.

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

"You think I'm cringe? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the ironypilled. Look at us: Transes, Palestinians, SWs... blocklist-fodder. We'll all be banned before Singal is. And yet, 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚. Where are you, doll? You're here! You're not on X, you're 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, and you're ready to 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏"

Rockstar Games, "famed for its Grand Theft Auto franchise, the latest edition of which netted more than $1billion (£770 million) in pre-sale orders alone, last week fired all 30 workers who had been part of an Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Discord channel"

The BBC *chooses* not to use the language Trans women use for themselves Instead, it peddles in terms coined and spread by anti-Trans+ activists - language it’s under no legal obligation to use This isn't neutrality These are editorial decisions made by anti-Trans+ activists inside a failing BBC

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

whoever put this flag up outside a primary school on the Shankill should catch themselves on. you shouldn't be putting this shite up in the first place, but outside a school of all places is beyond the pale.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together. archive.is/8VqQJ [this is a useable link to the NYT transcript]

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Zack Polanski has got him SHAKING lmao

Hope Not Hate features Mark Payne, while the Justice Minister and PSNI look away.

a learning point for the "legitimate concerns" crowd: your ringleaders like Glinner don't just want trans people out of women's spaces. they want us out of public life, and out of existence; dead. no amount of space you give them will be enough, until we are all killed.

Zohran Mamdani just proved that bold, people-powered politics can win, even in the face of money and power. This isn’t just a victory for one candidate. It’s a message of hope: when we organise, when we stand together, we can make change happen. #ZohranMamdani

And note that he never rejected what some sneeringly refer to as "idpol". Never came close to throwing minorities under the bus. On the contrary. The affordability agenda came hand in hand with him actively standing up for those principles. He could never have mobilised his base like this otherwise.

April: If we don’t get Housing right in seven months, we’re screwed. November: Housing crisis here until 2040.

This is a nifty tool for learning more about the consistently hateful British media & its regurgitations.

'each of us' have nothing left. Your mates took it all already.

i see DUP/TUV politicians now claiming the Lord Mayor acted correctly because international politics isn't in the Council's remit ... the day after they used Council time to whitewash occupation and genocide in occupied Palestine

Ron McDowell is the Councillor for my area. You're more likely to find him in Tel Aviv than anywhere on the Shankill road.

ireland's 3-day waiting period for abortions still makes it a more restrictive system than many European countries

So unless I've missed something, Simon Harris *still* hasn't actually directly & explicitly condemned the arson attack on the Ipas centre last Friday night? This is madness.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

BREAKING: Green Party councillors have walked out of Belfast City Council’s meeting after the Lord Mayor blocked a member from speaking on the Gaza genocide and refused a recess to resolve it. This is a clear overreach of the Mayor’s duty to act impartially.
