I don’t mean “Things are so bad, they will now surely get worse” here, by the way. I mean that we already saw what politicians and media will choose, if forced to pick one of “meaningfully left wing government” and “openly corrupt and destructive racist right wing frauds”. They’ll do that again.

Nine years ago a Twitter user was sending poetry to Sadiq Khan about London’s many cultural identities. A decade on, Reform UK’s mayoral candidate doesn’t dispute it was her old account - so what’s changed? Our profile of Laila Cunningham: www.londoncentric.media/p/laila-cunn...

It’s a difficult time and we want the public to stop thinking we’re a bunch of idiots who throw random buzzwords together in occasionally coherent meaningless sentences. Let’s send out Lisa Nandy to do the Sunday press.

Incredible. What rock are these people under

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...

feminist analysis requires that you understand power relations and harms to marginalized communities, and fight to destroy those forces. to use AI is one of the most anti-feminist things you can do on many levels, and that’s why tech bros and AI boosters love it.

This is an account set up by @natacha.bsky.social to facilitate setting up a new group. I regard the existing EHRC as not independent and consequently not legitimate. So I am looking to recruit members of an independent EHRC who can fulfill its functions with genuine integrity and… 1/4

computer, show me an image designed to make a woman drier than ben shapiros wife.

My point here is, again: Be careful you don’t unintentionally cede terrain to the enemy by accepting their framing of “US citizens” as sacred and off-limits to state violence, while “illegal immigrants” are fair game. It minimizes the threat we ALL face, and — it’s patent bullshit.

"Out there, there are no saints, just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive whether it meets with Federation approval or not." - Benjamin Sisko

You unwittingly regurgitate enemy propaganda when you exceptionalize “US citizens” as targets of ICE violence. Due process rights (including the 5th / 14th amendments) apply to EVERYONE within US jurisdiction, the undocumented, visitors, and citizens alike. I get the impulse, but knock it off.

Andor was a textbook

Dear Stockholm Syndrome Starmer Face, Fellating Trump will not save us, you need to get a backbone or get outta the way.

Just gonna say it now, I will not be watching the Men's World Cup. I didn't watch the Russian and Qatari tournaments either and honestly we all gotta put out money where our mouths are. Also the Olympics can gtf as well.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Boycott the World Cup

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Some BIG news for the UBI community: "Following a review of international travel conditions and visa accessibility for participants, a decision has reluctantly been reached to relocate the 2026 BIEN Congress from University of Pennsylvania, USA, to Toronto Metropolitan University Toronto, Canada."

Long shot but: is there anybody I know (preferably London or surrounding areas) who’s looking to get a cat? Our friends are moving overseas and can’t take theirs with them 😿

Helped a blind lady to the train just now & I’m absolutely blown away in the worst possible way over the amount of people who wouldn’t move for her & her dog, completely consumed by their own nonsense like it was their first day on earth

Eleven years ago today, my then-girlfriend came in the living room and asked if I wanted to get a cat. So we went to Edmonton Green and a woman met us in the street and dumped this wee black kitten on us and drove off. We called him Archie.

I have a plan to save movie theaters and it’s gonna work: Double-price for phone-friendly showings. You can have your phone out the entire time, make calls, talk, bring young active children without fear of being judged. Half-price for silent showings. Phone use gets you banned for six months.

BlueSky labelled my blog post about rejecting men’s critique of my body ‘adult content’ 🙄 (Thx for sharing though @katesloan.com!)

And Zohran’s only been in office for 16 days! #Mets #MetsSky 🧡💙

'Once, at a cast dinner, he got into a political row and called his understudy a Tory cunt.' That's all I needed to know.

Latest NYT analysis of video footage from the Renee Good shooting capture Ross firing the 2nd and 3rd shots at her after his body is visibly clear of the path of her vehicle. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Trump's threats make one thing perfectly clear: he will incessantly demand things. Change your healthcare system (pay more for drugs), hand over territory. And it will not stop with Greenland. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

Yep, used to work with a former taxman and he said the system has been set up to scare you into coughing up money in advance and then they decide at their leisure whether you've overpaid or not

Look at this absolute queen

“Papers please” “No, YOUR papers please”

The thing is, Reform is a private company

We are in a very dark place when validation is given to bigots who insist that breathing the same air as a trans person amounts to harassment. Transphobes - and those who indulge their hate - are the absolute worst.

In barbaric UK its a violation of dignity and harassment to share a space with a trans woman

what a legend lmao

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

You will not regret scrolling up for the rest of this thread about the sheer audacity of cats to walk into houses they don't live in and swan around like they own the place Honestly, excellent cat behaviour 💯

One of the most important interviews that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has done so far. youtu.be/43m0LKNDz6M?...

A small number of senior barristers are enabling large-scale tax fraud. They issue opinions saying tax schemes will work. They know they won't. The point of the opinion isn't to be right. It's to protect the shadowy individuals running the schemes from prosecution. 🧵
