UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Yes, one more think piece on why we were wrong to patch Twitter please.

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

Please name who did this. If it’s you, give yourself 10 cool points.

Zack Polanski, "Reform UK's Zia Yusuf was full of b*llocks and I think it was important to call that out on #BBCQT" "What has become clear about Reform UK, they're a bunch of cowards"

This needs hammered home, relentlessly.

Labour are well monied and have the media firmly onside, this is not a given.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Goodbye Alba, hello Reform.

Peak FAFO.

The spectacular thing about all of Scottish unionism since 2014 is that they are the sorest winners anyone has ever seen in human history.

“You’re banned, you can’t chant that, you’re nicked for holding a sign, you’re kids are poorer, you’re colder, you have to have an ID card and the racists have legitimate concerns in our island of strangers… now vote for us or Farage wins.”

So we’re all just cracking on and Jenricks racism is just shoulder shrugged yeah?

Why do I have a feeling Iam going to be underwhelmed here again?

Stephen Daisley in 2025. Thought hw stopped being relevant when he could no longer write pieces one handed about Ruth Davidson

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It won't happen, but I wish there was a single broadcaster or journalist with the gumption to corner Jenrick on the spot and ask him "was Downing Street a failure of integration under it's last occupants? Because you didn't seem to have a problem taking a job in a British Asian PMs cabinet"

Kemi Badenoch asked whether she's spoken to Robert Jenrick about his racist comments, replies that she hasn't as she's "been on the news", but says she did see him briefly and "gave him a hug"

An incredible scoop from Darren here lifted straight from... Polanski's public Wikipedia page

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

The Nasty Party never went away.

Jesus....

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Anyone remember Reform promising to go into their new councils with DOGE-style units to slash “waste” and stop taxes from rising? Yeah, it went exactly as you’d expect if you put people in charge who have no idea how anything works.

Farewell to my most favourite of posts.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

Never watched the Godfather.

Putting Russell Martin’s hair on Russell Martin until Rangers win two games in a row under Russell Martin

Kuenssberg: “Where would the 150,000 people you plan to deport each year actually go?” Badenoch: “I’m tired of irrelevant questions.” The Tories have an idiot in charge, one who doesn’t know NI voted Remain or why deportation deals even matter. #ukpolitics

The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants. Our political-media culture continues in a loop where the response to every perceived problem is yet more coercive powers for the state.

Personally, I would simply not cede the memory of those who fought the nazis to nazis. But what do I know

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

Why are the BBC constantly promoting Rooney as a pundit?

right-wing dude bro trying to justify his hatred

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

I honestly genuinely beg Americans to stop opining on the Scottish constitutional divide. You have literally never helped. I'M A NAT BY THE WAY

In memoriam...

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

When the camera pans around outside and there’s like 100 people chasing him. An absolutely perfect moment in antifascist cinema.

He’s just a shit…

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

On Sunday, #Zürich residents voted 52.8% in favor of increasing parking fees for cars according to weight. The owner of a BMW X2 (Diesel), which weighs 1,675 kilograms, will now pay equivalent of €717 Euros per year to park on a public street. (Before, about €321.) Direct democracy!

Sharia Law delivering the goods.
