Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

Welsh poll sees Plaid and Reform contesting a polarised electorate. Reform is the leading party among the over 50s (half of whom are on the righ politically). Plaid is resonating with the Welsh under 50 (where two-thirds vote for centre-left parties)

plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever. We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns. The guns!

To potentially oversimplify this, but the number of people arrested at the Palestine Action protests exceeds the entire number of people, on average, attending the anti-asylum hotels protests, yet they are called "fringe" and those outside hotels are called the "voice of the people".

A fictional journey through time spanning nearly two centuries won its author a prestigious prize at the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Wedi cyrraedd yr Eisteddfod!

Today, I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to #PAYUP. Billionaire wealth has increased 1000% since the 1990s. There is no excuse to plunge thousands into poverty through cuts and underfunding. The money is there - time to tax it fairly.

🚨 Last night JK Rowling attacked The National as an "anti-woman newspaper". I think that is absolutely ridiculous chat. Here's my open letter setting out why this kind of attack does not work on our team. www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...

Cardiff University formally agrees sweeping cuts that will see departments shut www.walesonline.co.uk/news/educati...

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? How little time off and how constrained academic holidays are in higher education. Many academics work during their “holidays” to be able to do their jobs. Also, no undergraduates doesn’t mean uni work stops. We’re not just teachers.

NationCymru platforming transphobic crap once again.

Statement on the EHRC ‘guidance’. The EHRC ‘guidance’ put out at 10pm last night is a bigoted attempt to segregate trans people in public spaces. It is almost certainly unlawful. transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/04...

The body charged with protecting equality and human rights is taking a wrecking ball to them. greens.scot/news/ehrc-gu...

I hate the "large gamete" thing. Yes, probably sexual reproduction with different sexes evolved as a gene transfer/replication mechanism, but it's so stupid to base our understanding of sex in society on a view of humans as gene-replicating machines. This obviously SUCKS for women, since they've 1/7

Here is Graham Linehan calling for people to physically attack trans women who dare to continue using public facilities You know "Gender Critical" people are never going to stop getting more and more hateful and extreme I'm not going to stop even if he threatens to kill or rape me

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. "He is risen indeed [and, as an immediate priority, donned his rakish gardener's disguise], Alleluia."

Mi fydda i (a llawer o awduron eraill mwy diddorol na fi) yn siarad yn y digwyddiad cyffrous yma, felly pam ddim dod draw i wrando? @prifysgolbangor.bsky.social

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

Dyfarniad gwarthus, torcalonnus gan y Goruchaf Lys heddiw. Safwch efo pobl draws a gwrthsefyll yr haint gwrth-ffeministaidd sydd yn ein cymdeithas. Sgwennwch at eich Aelod Senedd ac Aelod Seneddol.

I'm sorry but I don't care how much you like Hogwarts Legacy. I don't care how cool the lego sets are. I don't care that "it was your childhood." You cannot separate art from artist here. She is actively using your money to ruin lives *now*.

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮 So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?

Yn ddiweddar (ar ôl mwy na blwyddyn!) wnes i orffen darllen Ynys Fadog gan Jerry Hunter, nofel enfawr am hanes cymuned Cymraeg yn America. Saga syml ar yr wyneb ond efo cymeriadau cymhleth a diddorol sy'n rhoi pwys i'r digwyddiadau. Dach chi wedi darllen hwn? www.ylolfa.com/cynnyrch/978...

Mae hawliau pobl traws yn hawliau dynol. Ar #TDOV, dwi a Plaid Cymru yn ailddatgan ein cefnogaeth i'r gymuned draws. Rydyn ni'n eich gweld chi, yn eich cefnogi chi, ac yn cydsefyll a chi.

As hundreds of my university colleagues across Wales lose their jobs, I wrote this for @nation.cymru - do please share nation.cymru/opinion/yes-...

hello here are the quartz standing stones in our garden (peak Sir Gâr) looking v cute in the sun with some daffs. There are two - the one on the left is just very short. They are named for the sacred elders Bert and Ernie. & yes, as far as anyone knows they have been there since time #witchsky

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus gyfeillion! Happy St David's day pals! With the horrors around us, I think it's more vital than ever to cling to Dewi's exhortation - gwnewch y pethau bychain a glywsoch ac a welsoch gennyf fi, do the little things that you heard and saw from me.

My youngest daughter (she's eight) has a quesion to ask for her school project... What are your favourite places in Wales? Any and all replies welcome! :)
