For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

Such a beautiful person who has done something wonderful

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights. But we need your help. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

I think Brexit was garbage. But if in 2025 you're still pedalling "all we need to do is reverse Brexit!" you're ignorant. Everything before Brexit was fine, obviously. It was definitely ALL Brexit and not the six years of austerity before that and the 31 years of untempered Thatcherism before that.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

Donald Trump can completely turn around his legacy and the way historians view him with two simple words, on the last day of his presidency, during his farewell speech, if he closes by saying The aristocrats

The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are massacring civilians. They're armed by the United Arab Emirates - a key Western ally. This is yet more genocidal mayhem armed and facilitated by the West.

Let's be clear: this is the result of deliberate political choices to make accessing trans healthcare substantially impossible. It's what Streeting and his ilk want.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Let that sink in "Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

this is crude to say but starmer could goose step out on stage, throw a nazi salute & order every immigrant rounded up into camps, & it wouldn't convince a single fascist to vote for him, because what they want isn't rational. a far-right party would simply say "we'll do that but more & faster"

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

I think the neoliberals of the peak neoliberalism ascendant era actually had a story in their heads, they could explain to you why this was smart (which doesn't mean they were correct). A generation later, you can't get an explanation out of Rachel Reeves, she's just performing holy incantations

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.

"[McSweeney's] team trawled through Facebook groups looking for connections between Left-wingers and anti-Semitic content that had been shared online. [...] the blue print for this campaign was a paper called 'Labour for the Country', which McSweeney wrote with the help of Mandelson."

watching UK mainstream media yammer incessantly about "threats to free speech" because an influencer in america got shot with not a single word about the !!!NINE HUNDRED ARRESTED PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTERS!!! and I don't even have an adequate metaphor for how fucking pathetically cynical it all is

Or, hear me out: Does it maybe demonstrate that the priorities of whoever is currently sitting on the throne in Washington become the priorities of the white-people world

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

This is what is driving me nuts about it. I'm not glad he's dead or anything but the stark hypocrisy at work here is disgusting.

if uk politicians believed that "there's no justification for political violence" and "we muse all be free to debate openly and freely without fear" they wouldn't be validating the "flag force" that try to burn down hotels, while taking away people's rights who protest peacefully

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Have now heard the full version of the Linehan Audio, and surprised that people were more bothered about his weird "I'll kill {inaudible threats to unclear person" than the fact that he just straightforwardly says to the cops that kicking trans women in the balls is good and asks if they wouldn't.

Did anyone say why Graham Linehan was at Heathrow when he was arrested? He was returning to the UK from America, to appear before the magistrate for an incident to do with an altercation with a trans girl, a child. #r4today www.thejournal.ie/graham-lineh...

I won't accept anything less than the complete destruction of the British Labour Party.

I don't believe in mob violence nor government censorship of speech but it's very hard not to notice that the government that are imprisoning pensioners for opposing genocide with writing on cardboard are worried that people might not be free enough to call for acts of violence against trans women.

So many people supremely relaxed about inciting people to violence - and strangely none of them with a skin colour or gender or immigration status which makes them routine targets of violent people.

Oh look, it's the thing every fascist government says about the opposition party before they dissolve them and turn the country into a one party state.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

We’re reaching middle age without the capital markers we were told to expect with middle age. I’m living as precariously as I did in my early 20s despite earning more than three times as much. All cos successive governments decided that our property market should be a treasure pot for Boomers.

À UN-backed report has confirmed there is famine in Gaza today. Thing is, those of us who already knew this was true didn’t need a report to tell us and those who didn’t believe there is famine will call the report flawed/antisemitic. So does this change anything?

Someone tell me, what is the point of being a Labour MP? What is it for?

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Serial killer argues victims had preexisting conditions

i’ll never get over how blatantly and proveably lying is one of the best political strategies of the modern age

Pretty much every societal problem — from crime to anti-immigrant sentiment to transphobia to the “male loneliness epidemic” — is downstream of a government that simply does not give a shit about making life better, easier, and more affordable for its citizens, regardless of which party is in power

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

It's likely that M&S inboxes will be flooded by angry GCs in the next few days. The smartest thing we can do is send some emails of our own and make it clear to M&S that screwing us over isn't cost free. You can contact M&S on [email protected] Example template email:

Another deeply concerning allegation, the latest in a long line of apparent commercial and political lobbying against protest movements, some of which has led to the extremely repressive legislation we now face. Powerful lobbyists are the bane of democracy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The liberal appeasement of "we might recognize Palestine" while pretending to care about a two state solution is just buying more time for Israel to exterminate every last living Palestinian in the Gaza strip. It's meant to calm the outrage growing globally at mass starvation

When they don't have a case, they lie.

Hmmm, i wonder why the replies are disabled...

Yes: they are not in power because they will fix it. They’re in power *because they won’t try*. Sir Keir isn’t your representative fighting the private water companies, he is their ambassador *to you*, and his job is to make sure that you don’t get too upset about them screwing everyone, forever.

🚨 BREAKING | Labour has **banned** schools from teaching children about transgender identities. New guidance from Bridget Philipson BANS materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" and orders teachers to teach "laws about biological sex". It's Section 28 again.
