CRYING 😭

😬 awkward

Keir Starmer has finally promised to meet the nuclear test veterans “hopefully by end of the year" That’s progress but still not good enough. These national heroes have already waited more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

To be clear, reading the two posts here + Link's quote post with alt, it sounds to me like he was agreeing with her:

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

My favourite David Bowie album is "The Best of David Bowie"

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

You can now be banned for "Being disruptive to other users" yeah thats definitely going to be enforced consistently

If they didn’t blink at the IDF deliberately splattering three British ex-squaddies who were guarding an aid group convoy from a charity that has Barack Obama as a patron, then I’d guess they won’t give a fuck about activists they despise and are probably glad are far away.

After a trip across Ukraine on trains that keep running in spite of Russian air raids, nothing says welcome home quite like those three magical words: Rail Replacement Bus

(Snorting, warming to my theme) Do these oddballs think there’s some committee of propaganda somewhere asking “How can we boost the career of Nigel Farage”? (Theatrical eye-rolling) Do they think the whole world is out to get them. (Mugging to audience) Are lizardmen listening into your phone calls

This week, the lads explain Reform have been getting 100 times the news coverage of other similarly sized parties, and they conclude this shows “bias”. It really is depressing to see this kind of tinfoil hat cranky nonsense taking hold of the centrists. How would this media conspiracy work, exactly?

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

You work hard as a journalist. You lead with empathy, and you sweat details. You operate in good faith. You believe in honesty and truth. You get yelled at by the president of the United States. You worry that you'll get laid off. Again and again. And then you see this. www.wsj.com/business/med...

I not saying this was racism. I'm just saying it sure fucking looks like it could be racism, and that alone is a huge failure of T&S

Russian satellites have been stalking British military satellites, according to the head of the UK Space Command. Maj Gen Paul Tedman said Russia had also been trying to jam the UK's military satellites with ground-based systems every week.

perfect detail

They just don’t get it, and never will

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The Right to Protest obliterated in the UK. Protest requires repeated protests to be effective. This continues the state repression of any kind of protest that can actually challenge the state or capital. But what the government forgets is that ending the legal routes opens the illegal routes.

I was an early adopter on bluesky and have enjoyed my time here and loved what we've tried to make here. But if trans people don't feel safe on bluesky, and bluesky leadership is actively disappearing the accounts of people raising concerns, no one should feel safe.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the people running BlueSky don't actually believe in decentralized moderation

In absence of official moderation explanations, this might have been the one that got me clapped. Shame I wasn't bluffing.

North Vietnam had the most advanced and effective IADS in the world between WWII and the Yom Kippur War in 73, better than even what Egypt deployed during the War of Attrition (with a healthy dose of Soviet ''advisors'')

Still, at least they've taken down a few pride flags and forced a library to move LGBT+ books away from the doorway displays
