Well worth a watch

they're imprisoning people for decades over a noise demonstration. this isn't getting anywhere near the attention it should be.

We can't afford the climate crisis we're sinking into. Net zero is cheap by comparison.

The message: If you oppose people kidnapping your neighbors and disappearing them in concentration camps, you might get sent to prison for the rest of your life. The Constitution is nothing but a set of suggestions.

Note that Norway's Gender Clinic, and this study was a major influence on the Cass Report. Cass was directly influenced by SEGM members, several of whom sat on the Cass governance group. This leads to further serious questions on teh ethical validity and integrity of Cass.

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

This is horrifying. People getting sentenced to decades in prison for distributing zines, organizing mutual aid efforts, public protest.

Fascism in action

Okay, UKsters, the media is useless re: extreme heat, so let’s do this. I’m from Southern California, spent the last ten years living outside Seattle, which has a similar climate to Scotland, where I am now. Here’s what I know. 1. Heat exhaustion and sickness are no fucking joke. Do not tempt them.

Grim timing yesterday as news of the Met Office Red alert flashed up on phones right in the middle of a big event about new Met Office forecasts for June 2056, showing potential peak temperatures of 45C in England. Stopping the CO2 emissions driving this is essential, but we also need to prepare.

thinking about a comment that went something like “i used to give to mutual aid every month until i realized it was basically just shoveling money into a hole in the ground so i stopped” well yes people need money every month to live. if no one ever helps, that hole in the ground will be their grave

trans rights is a "wedge" issue in the sense that if you have an issue with trans rights I will "wedge" you into a crevasse in a mountain and leave you there

It's courageous for any victim of sexual abuse to go to trial, but when your abuser is a man as powerful as Jeffrey Donaldson, it is on another level. Solidarity to those women today

"I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs & successors, according to law. So help me God" So said Andy Burnham today. It’s what all MPs say on their 1st day. Nothing about “The People”, just the King & his heirs. Democracy.

Thinking of booking into the Travelodge across the road just for the aircon

the thing that's most telling is that no-one on the right has an actual policy they hate starmer for, it's all just "he's a liar" and "immigration" whereas everyone on the left has a detailed, dated list of his crimes. One of these reactions was inevitable, the other completely avoidable.

Not forgetting that the benefits in question were categorically not out-of-work benefits! PIP is designed to help people cover the costs of day-to-day living while disabled, thereby enabling access to society, including work. They just lied and lied about this.

A final note: your tickets will almost certainly be refundable. When there is a national advisory that it's unsafe to travel this is usually the case, even if your tickets are usually of a non-refundable nature.

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

This basically. Labour has relentlessly increased the salience of the issues Reform prioritises, whilst winning over basically no Reform voters, and simultaneously alienating their own base. It's just terrible politics.

Starmer is resigning, talking about a country where everybody is valued after he banned trans people from everything and oversaw a number of racist pogroms.

Aw, Kier's tears on my birthday

If you think this could not happen in the UK, you are not paying attention. A library in Greater Manchester had to withdraw nearly 200 books this year after sustained pressure from "interest groups".

I was gonna see Maisie Adam tomorrow as a birthday treat but she's pulled out. I wonder if it cos it'll be too hot or she might be filming Celebrity Gogglebox.

Here. It's going to be hottest here.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Fuck this shit. Still, at least the tropical nights will start drawing in after solstice. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

37 degrees in London for three days is it? YIKES. Time to review the Shade the UK list of ideas again to see if there’s anything further I can do on the flat. (Main thing is getting at least a temporary canopy up over the sunny patio, I suspect) So many ideas: www.shadetheuk.com/overheating-...

The UK papers ran a full multi-day panic after the trans demo in response to the Supreme Court ruling stripping away basic legal protections for trans people because someone chalked ‘FAG RIGHTS’ and a heart on the Millicent Fawcett statue

This is for a couple of friends of mine, I personally witnessed some of the events described. Both women are in a pretty shit situation as a result of this bullshit and could really do with some help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-diana...

Terrorism but ... ◉ No COBRA meeting. ◉ No revision of terror threat level. ◉ No Independent Assessment on Paramilitary Groups report since 2015. ◉ No inquiry into the 'permacrisis' of racist violence. ◉ No Independent Reporting Commission report since December 2025.

Five people have been injured in Edinburgh in what seems to be a sustained terrorist attack and it hasn't even made it off the Scotland News pages of the BBC website Guess the colour and motive of the terrorist, guys!

every single study done on this shows that the actual best behavior is done under consistent pseudonyms and people behave worse under real names it’s counterintuitive but at this point the real names thing is willful denial of evidence

The police didn't see the need to tase this guy and repeatedly kick him in the head, and the media haven't seen the need to make this racially motivated axe and knife attack the top story on all channels with immediate calls for the government to do something about Islamophobia. How odd.

Apparently there are people harassing a hotel in Irvine, convinced it's hosting asylum seekers, because...they've seen coaches full of people turn up at it with luggage
