While we have your attention about the safety of journalists in harm’s way… Say her name: Amal Khalii. She was killed by US-Israel this week. She is one of 14 Lebanese journalists killed, and among nearly 300 killed in the Middle East since 2024.

I think there's going to be some effort to make it seem like Labour's collapse was because of specific things like Mandelson rather than because the orthodoxy of 'Labour but right wing is what everyone wants' that half of our press has been selling for years is deeply hated, rightfully so.

If you want to help Rasheed make Dreams on a Pillow: - Do not repost posts that tag him. - Do not repost his posts. Write a post of your own that: - Links to launchgood.com/1948 - Does not include Rasheed's Bluesky handle as Bluesky wants people suffering genocide and apartheid to do so quietly

Great first trial walkabout with @agaitcheson.bsky.social for our climate distress monster. Honking cars, pepple waving from restaurants, children desperate to dance with us. We asked people to write and stick their feelings of climate distress to us, and share a bit of whimsy on a late afternoon.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

We don't know how much The National were paid to run an ad for nazi TERFs, but I suspect they've acquired a lot of subscribers who are LGBTQ+ or allies. Time to start cancelling those subscriptions. We're ten years into this culture war. There are no second chances. Go fash, lose cash.

Aside from black holes, neutron stars are the densest and hence most walkable objects in the universe

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

Not involved in the war update.

This is an aid-drop off location. Every day people defend this.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Barbaric.

We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash. Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do? Suspend US bases on UK soil now.

A gas field would do nothing to lower our bills or increase energy security. It would contribute to run away climate change. The only way to increase energy security is renewables. Please write to your MP soon to tell them that the new gas field must not happen www.lbc.co.uk/article/ed-m...

I am paid a very high salary to design new ways to hurt innocent people. Please don't hurt me. I want to live. My job is to hurt your children. Please, don't do anything to me. I want to be safe. My job is to make your family sick. I want to live. Please, I deserve to live. My job kills you. Please,

It is extremely hard, I'd even say impossible, to look at the entire British Establishment claiming with no pushback that all British Muslim voters are totally illegitimate and then conclude their worries about antisemitism were in any way good faith.

there are liberal zionists on here still arguing that there is nothing wrong with Israel, its just that Bibi is bad.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

reactivating to share this. trans voices are barely heard even while we're busy being kicked around for political clout by abject weirdos and/or fascists. so shares are appreciated 🙏

The wellbeing and safety of Jewish people is seen as expendable collateral in the project of protecting an expansionist genocidal colonial state whenever politicians, press and lobbyists conflate Israel with all Jews

Can this be a solution?

the Scottish government is now following the anti-trans Supreme Court ruling closer than the rest of the UK

Before long covid: guess I'm an idiot piece of shit After long covid: Google what is the medical link between long covid and being an idiot piece of shit

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs. This video is lowballing it.

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

Israel is announcing that the entirety of Dahieh is being ethnically cleansed a day after announcing that the entirety of South Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed. “Save yourselves and evacuate immediately”

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

The story has been picked up by mainstream press. Great work by @transactualuk.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

as a serious journalist (Times, Slate, Bioligical Woman's Weekly, Der Sturmer) I am dismayed the left can't get their tiny heads around simple ideas like my paper printing weekly opinion pieces explaining "why war is necessary" =/= being for the war

Be like chiitan, love trans people and drink coffee.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children

Google the names on this list and you find them either justifying the war or giving a meaningless finger wag about how Trump isn't 'doing it right'. These people are not speaking as people, they are speaking as mouthpieces for power and it is their job to be wrong about Iran, remember this.

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC: with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting. with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions. Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

The "nasty Green sectarianism" line that all the media outlets - Sky and BBC included - are running with today is pure scrabbling for something to code their racism in, and obviously nonsense when talking about an election where Reform campaigned explicitly on restoring Christian identity to Britain

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

The Nazis targeted people they thought 'regular' Germans wouldn't concern themselves with: Jews, roma people, queer people & other 'degenerates', communists. By the time it was obvious they'd torture & kill anyone who whispered any opposition, it was far, far too late.
