Actual pamphlet the Parti Quebecois put out 13 years ago to show exacy what religious symbols they don’t like. Notice anything? i.cbc.ca/1.1702765.13...

By popular request, have added a new section to my list of Reform councillors who have gone - those who have left council posts but remained a councillor. Additions to the list very welcome! buff.ly/aAKCrlg

cackling

can josé pablo lópez just admit that he's clearly politically motivated and doesn't care about the actual rules and regulations of the contest

We need to discuss what counts as reasonable accommodation for Cultural Catholics in Québec. First to go: that illuminated torture symbol on the top of Mont-Royal, next, that hideous man-made tumour on its side they call the Basilica.

This whole shit show would get rejected as too ridiculous if it was a movie script

this absolutely has to be a parody right. real live flesh and blood people cannot believe this. i refuse

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk. That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Folks often forget the fight for democracy in HK isn’t a “Beijing vs us” thing in matters of human rights - I mean that matters too - but also the fight for local representation so that problems like these don’t get swept under the rug

People say that RSS feeds are great, but mine was just full of pro-Modi stuff.

wish granted. i will now refer to you all as 미국놈들

wait there was a coup in guinea-bissau?!

往昔，聖人曰：「嗚呼！是毀聖宮，火宮禁，殲賢，流民；世有此類。豈君加此於民以民得賞乎？民不欲此，民不欲賞。」 天答以簡，曰：「實。」 答簡，聖眾禁食三日，乃炎幼獅來自所至聖。撒迦利亞曰：「是拜偶之惡倚。」 拔一毛，炎幼獅嗥，聲聞三千里。聖眾論何可殺炎幼獅。撒迦利亞曰：「拋炎幼獅於鉛箱，縢箱以鉛，故鉛隔音。」 聖眾從命，乃免於拜偶之惡倚矣。 聖眾曰：「吉日也。故祈如色慾之惡倚。」聖眾祈乃來。 撒迦利亞曰：「見知：若聖眾殺，則世毀乎！」故聖眾囚其三日。皆猶太之人不見一卵。 聖眾曰：「此難，何可治？若殺則世毀。若祈半，不能半。」故聖眾抉其目矣。

also i know i'm asking at the wrong time of day but if anyone has either shapefiles of 2022 israeli polling districts (polygons or dots) or a list of polling station locations, or knows where i could find them please send them my way

Growth forecasts downgraded, real disposable income forecasts downgraded bsky.app/profile/dunc...

a freeze in fuel duty while adding a mileage tax on EVs is just comical. absolute joke.

🚨It's time there was investigation into Russian interference in our politics. And the first person they should question is Nigel Farage.

i'm so tired of people just making up new definitions for words and then slapping them onto everyone they disagree with

apparently some red triangles are whining about me from behind a block

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

I don't know the criminal standard specifically but Linehan did say *in court* that he was motivated by the victim's status as a trans person. If a clear statement of explicit prejudice isn't enough then you need a new standard. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

"crazy activist beats teenage girl over trans rights" has happened in exactly one direction and it's not the one the bon pensant centrist media tells you it does

The BBC censoring criticism of Trump from one of their Reith Lectures is seriously worrying. The Liberal Democrats have written to the BBC Director General Tim Davie urging him to stand firm against Trump’s bullying and broadcast the lecture in full.

netflix recommending me this show is genuinely a microaggression at this point

people need to arrive at understanding that people 100 years ago were not necessarily using words with the precise academic meaning they have today

Imagine praising "Latino parents are now so afraid to be seen out and about that they have a rota to walk the Latino children" and not wondering where your humanity went?

So yeah, looks like Dodik rigged the vote yesterday. To take the thumbnail image given here, Snagovo is two villages: one an almost exclusively Bosniak returnee village who absolutely aren't turning out en masse to vote SNSD, and the other a mostly Serb village of only about 150 people.

Can I also just say that this is brilliant reporting by my pal Jude, questioning not only where Westminster's priorities lie but how we consume our news & what that means when things like this get ignored:

In a damning internal report, @frontex.bsky.social concludes that its partners-in-crime - the Bulgaria border police - are responsible for abandoning three children, who were left to freeze to death last winter. www.dw.com/bg/lzite-na-...

Arrests of Kyrgyz opposition politicians all over the country today ahead of the snap parliamentary elections that President Japarov has assured will be “peaceful and quiet. The current regime is not taking any chances and putting even its mildest opponents behind bars

sorry but this is complete nonsense

just say you hate jews already

Elected in 1972 as the first openly gay politician in the UK, Sam Green served his community with commitment and courage, and we’re proud that Ed Davey was there to unveil a plaque in his honour.

Thank you, @joshbabarinde.bsky.social for pressing the government on today's appalling leaked EHRC proposals. It is both sickening and predictable that they should leak on Transgender Day of Remembrance. Thank you for committing the @libdems.org.uk to standing up for our rights.

the nominees were -a campaign to get lifechanging medication for extremely sick children -a campaign to improve access to justice for victims of rape and sexual assault -a transphobic hate campaign that managed to convince some judges to make the worst ruling in Supreme Court history* (*winner)

We need more words like breadbasket. "Colombia is the coffeebasket of South America." "Switzerland is the watchbasket of Europe." "Vietnam is the cashewbasket of southeast Asia." "Brazoria County is the breakfast-taco-basket of Texas." "South Korea is the electronicsbasket ..."

Today on Trans Day of Remembrance we remember those who have lost their lives to transphobic violence, and reflect on how we as a society can end this loss of life. Liberal Democrats will always stand up for the rights of everyone in the LGBT+ community.

ITS TIME TO GO SHABANA

The leader of Camden Labour has fled Fortune Green ward (where his colleague is the brilliant Lib Dem Nancy Jirira) to a safer ward across the borough. Labour clearly feeling scared of the Camden Lib Dems team.

I attended the protest outside of Rockstar North in Edinburgh this evening to stand in solidarity with the more than 30 workers across the UK, including a number of my constituents who have been sacked.

GB News broadcasted a package last week on analysis of people with "foreign sounding" names. Peddling unverified and racist statistics on national TV is dangerous and we must call it out. The Liberal Democrats are calling on Ofcom to investigate and take swift action. Anna Sabine MP
