Batten down the hatches and raise the portcullis!

Honestly I've let dozens of these go but this endless stream of antisemitism just proves everything I was saying in the post. (For the hard of thinking the ambulances were used for the whole community regardless of religion, and even if they weren't racist arson would still be unacceptable.)

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.

Even though there’s no way to implement mandated age gates in a way that fully protects speech and privacy rights, EFF wants to help you minimize the infringement of your rights as you manage the imposition of age gates. Learn more in our guide to navigating age assurance: eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The men who claimed to be ‘defending women and children’ when they were burning down asylum hotels are now threatening to take to the streets to protest the banning of an app that facilitates creation of abuse images of children and women.

The Iranian people deserve to be free of tyranny, free Iran

The lesson is clear: you can’t outflank the far right by borrowing its language. You only validate its narrative, undermine your own authenticity, and make democracy more fragile in the process.

The battery lickers are coming for us in the replies.

None of those newspapers (or the BBC) that gleefully ran stories when the EHRC gave trans people a shoeing will now report on the EHRC admitting they (and hence those stories) were wrong. Are those outlets craven - or dishonest? Thank goodness for the legal press. www.law360.com/articles/235...

So true, you can get a fantastic budget guitar for the money

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

You can’t scan private messages before they’re encrypted without destroying end-to-end encryption. The EU’s new “encryption roadmap” gets that wrong.

Spent too much time on this

This is at odds with Labour's desire to make the UK a technology powerhouse. Technologists thrive in diverse and open environments where they are free to be themselves. From the Open For Business report, there's a distinct correlation between LGBTQ+ inclusion and innovation:

Well done, a fantastic effort!

As ever I'd like someone to ask him specifically if he'd be happy for Lancaster University to close - which has a campus in his constituency. Or is just unis in other areas he doesn't want?

Schumer is going to change the course of american democracy with those mildly worded letters...

We'd also like to see messages or signs from employers or service providers that stop trans people using single sex spaces.

The map of protests against the Supreme Court judgement is still growing (Green markers for completed demos, red for upcoming) www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e... 67 protests and counting so far Keep following and supporting @whatthetrans.com for updates

Thanks to support from the trans community and its allies we are now advertising for a full time equalities solicitor. Trans people know they are at the thin end of fascism. If you're a lawyer, here's how you help them fight back. goodlawproject.org/vacancy/seni...

The absence of trans people from the British media is part of the problem. I'd like to offer mentoring to trans people trying to get into journalism, free of charge. Most of my experience is obviously in political commentary, but I might be passably useful in news and other areas.

I think this decision by the supreme court will quickly become a sexual predators charter.

the shift from “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” to “eat my face harder leopard daddy” must be studied

Politics Can Be Different

i need a buffet overflow so bad rn, pretty hungry

Absolutely chilling stuff

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

In Finland, media education has been part of schools since the 1950s and is woven into the curriculum. Students learn about propaganda, misleading statistics, and even create their own media messages to understand how narratives shape perception.

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
