Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Labour's plan to fight Reform involves [checks notes] creating a subaltern class of indentured labourers

Mandatory unpaid work to be done by The Other, is it?

For those keeping track: Who, in exchange for entry into the UK, is allowed to force people into slavery? ❌ Human Trafficking Gangs ✅ Shabana Mahmood

Great work everyone!

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

It’s always the people you most expect.

From the newly released Epstein docs submitted to congress "Elon musk to island Dec. 6"

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Over 620k signatures already. Gotta hand it to Labour - just when you think they’ve peaked, they always find a bigger rake.

This is what Starmer thinks counts as “progressive”. Opposing hateful *rhetoric* while *doing* hateful things. This is not progressive. This is not even a “fightback”. This is just the same pandering to racists, but with a more dishonest spin.

Aside from all the very good arguments against the policy itself… …I just can’t fathom *why* Starmer is charging face-first into yet another own goal? No one wants this. It’s a universally unpopular policy. Why are you doing it?

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Can’t believe I have to point this out - especially in this context. Ableism is so deeply insidious and far too few people are willing to recognise it in themselves - as the growing number of likes on the other post attests.

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

It’s worth sitting for a minute with the knowledge that Morgan McSweeney received three quarters of a million pounds to subvert democracy and it’s only a scandal because he didn’t fill in the forms correctly.

Virgin Active call themselves an LGBTQ+ ally, but decided to ban trans people from using their changing rooms and bathrooms... so we created a new slogan for them 👀 We need to make make as much noise as possible and make Virgin Active feel the pressure. Will you join us? 👇 goodlaw.social/d922

lol

I don't think my father, the inventor of nepotism, would be too pleased to hear about this.

They want a simple way they can frame any opponent as inherently weak, incapable and dangerous. Racism isn’t enough, because many opponents are white. Queerphobia isn’t enough, because many opponents are cishet. Misogyny isn’t enough, because many opponents are men. Hence - autism.

You are fucking cowards @theguardian.com You do *not* deliberately introduce doubt for one of the safest anti-inflammatories in the world in the fucking headline! Link for those wanting to see this shame www.theguardian.com/society/2025... One for @ianbetteridge.com to get angry about too.

I find Wes Streeting's presence unpleasant, so he should be banned from all spaces I could ever possibly visit. That's how this works, right Wes?

Trump’s allies spinning conspiracies because the escalator and teleprompter broke for him, but for no one else. The reality? They only happened to him because his own incompetent staff were responsible for both.

Politico are trying to launder eugenics. They’ve already been forced to delete one post about “the autism problem”, but the article still uses it and they’re still legitimising the bullshit about Tylenol. Pressure has forced them back once - join the ratio until they recant the whole thing.

Now this is how you do polling. The majority support what Defund the Police *means* but oppose the slogan because the right lied about it and the press repeated those lies as unchallenged fact. Remember this the next time you see a poll asking about abstracts instead of specifics.

Ah. Right. So... bad news folks. Turns out there *was* a rapture. But apparently they just took the cows.

what is the purpose of this paragraph? emma watson is not involved in a feud with jk rowling. she made one statement politely saying that she disagrees with rowling and supports trans ppl. the fact that rowling has spent years raging about it is not a feud. watson has never clapped back.

So he'll listen to doctors about vaccines (that benefit him), but not puberty blockers (that don't).

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Keir Starmer to launch [center-right] fightback against 'decline and division' fuelled by [Keir Starmer]

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

White-ney Houston’s groundbreaking debut AI…

Not saying Trump needed inspiration from the UK Home Office to do this, but it probably didn’t fucking help, Yvette.

Finally time for the rapture and the Messiah turned out to be Jimmy Kimmel. Should’ve clicked when he was betrayed, denied and resurrected. Ah well - we’ll know for next time.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

aargh journalists you do not get to say "Many experts are sceptical" in the face of this bullshit, you say "This is not true". You are at a rare point, maybe a few years every century, where your willingness to doing your actual job would be crucial and heroic, and you're blowing it

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

An impressive number of disingenuous lies as Disney tries to pretend they haven’t caved.

Absolutely, but it is funny reading this in the Guardian, i.e. the paper that censored Judith Butler to appease the "gender-critical" fash.

Allyship that is more concerned with one’s self perception as good person than the lives of people you assert to be allied with is not real allyship.

Freeman was following the same trajectory just the other day re: George Floyd. Trial balloons to see if GCs are ready to start “””protecting (cishet white) women””” from foreigners and black people.

“We’d love to ruin hundreds of thousands of lives just to make a few racists feel important for a month, but sadly it’s not currently practical.”

What The Times fails to say, is that this picture likely represents the ENTIRETY of the group of transphobic ‘gender critical’ gay men! 🤷🏼‍♀️😣 Note: The Times has published this extensive article pushing transphobia, yet didn’t publish ANYTHING on London Trans Pride which had 100,000 people!!! 😤
