Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

Happy 25th birthday to mifepristone 🥳 one of the two safe and effective abortion pills. Also has a lot of potential as a breast cancer treatment. More research needed but remember the religious right much prefer it when we just die www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is what they say when it is a Far Right terrorist. Which it is 80% of the time.

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

Everything is falling apart, worse than ever in the UK. Are we really going to spend the next 4 years ignoring it and ranting about immigration?

I realise the audience for this would just be "me, and also maybe other foreigners" but I would love to read something on why Brits, who are happy to live in a country where their every movement outside is filmed by CCTV, hate the idea of having ID cards, something plenty of countries happily have

Nail on head by Adil Ray, "If a Muslim extremist rallied 100,000 people we would be worried, but when Robinson did we say: they have genuine concerns"

I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right. This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

I am flying to Wroclaw today. If the WWIII starts this weekend, I'll be walking to Germany as a refugee for the second time in my life.

Sie wollen eine nicht existierende Organisation namens "Antifa" verbieten, aber die gesichert rechtsextreme AfD verbieten wäre undemokratisch...?

I hate when he’s funny

Best type of rent control? Make taxes and burdens on Landlords so high being a Landlord is unprofitable. Boom, rent is controlled because there are almost no Landlords.

Say it before it is banned.

They’re betting everything on “this time even tougher than ever we promise” on immigration to save Starmer. I’d say brace for a proper BNP-style conference speech.

My son who used to love Corbyn sent me this just now

The far right turnout today is much smaller than the number of people who came to protest at London Trans Pride this year, but the far right will of course get infinitely more press coverage.

For the next fascist demo we need to organise lots of lovely joyful anti-fascist activities that are not about physically turning up to face them. I’m talking street parties, discos, community events that drown them the hell out.

I keep thinking about this sketch at the moment. youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI?...

If you wonder who is funding the Far Right, Nigel Farage/Tommy Robinson in the UK. Now you know it is the Far Right Americans.

What you are seeing with Charlie Kirk is just how much the Far Right MAGA Republicans own the Media and Far Right groups worldwide. This is why Charlie Kirk is permanently on our screens and why people are holding vigils even though almost no one knows who he was.

BBC News Channel now seems to be The Charlie Kirk Channel.

Feels like the world is burning so time for weird jellyfish facts 🧵

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Charlie Kirk, der öffentlich erklärte, er würde ein zehnjähriges Vergewaltigungsopfer natürlich dazu zwingen eine Schwangerschaft auszutragen und der nicht mit einem Flugzeug fliegen würde, wenn der Pilot schwarz ist, wird von der CDU jetzt als Freiheitskämpfer verehrt.

Pretty sure I have autism. Didn't get diagnosed as a kid as my problems were put down to "v. shy, dead mum". Is it worth getting diagnosed as an adult? Can see the benefit for ADHD (have been on waiting list for 4 years) but is there much benefit/is it worth it to diagnosis for autism as an adult?

3. Refusing to introduce Proportional Representation. Under our First Past The Post system, a party with a minority of the vote can achieve a huge majority (as Starmer did with 34%). There is no way Farage could become Prime Minister under a PR system. Only under FPTP.

"Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself." inews.co.uk/news/green-p...

Graham Linehan just posting about women's rights.

Gib einem Armen einen Euro und er wird ihn in Deutschland ausgeben. Gib einem Reichen einen Euro und er wird ihn irgendwo in einer Steueroase parken. Dann wird er nach noch einem Euro fragen.

I can't sleep because I'm waiting for Trump to die.

This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

It will be a massive "Weekend at Bernie's" until it is embarrassingly obvious...

The substack boys on Twitter want you over there to entertain the algorithmically boosted Nazis in their replies whom they rely on for their engagement metrics and who get bored if there's no one to abuse. They don't actually think you'll debate @Fuhrar1488 into moderate centrism.

Here is the amazing Liz O'Riordan explaining all you need to know about breast cancer recurrence youtu.be/qfxjE3LDRtw?...

Die USA haben sich diesmal richtig tief nach der Seife gebückt...

Dunno guys, maybe international diplomacy is harder than it looks from the shrimp buffet at Mar-a-Lago?

The fact that Trump insists that Putin agreed that the 2020 election was rigged, that Trump won it “by so much” and the war in Ukraine wouldn’t have happened if he’d been President… tells you all you need to know about Trump’s feeble mind, his grotesquely needy ego and how easy it is to outplay him.

Trump will do anything to help Netanyahu and Putin.

Im getting more americaphobic with every minute of this shitshow

Ein verurteilter Straftäter und ein Kriegsverbrecher begrüßen sich herzlich. Sie lachen. Niemand greift ein. Niemand verhaftet sie. Im Gegenteil. Rote Teppiche sind ausgerollt. Fernsehkameras laufen. Reporter berichten weltweit. Wie muss sich das für die anfühlen, die ihre Lieben verloren haben …

Red carpet for war criminal 🥴

Every day this Summer has been a record of how Nigel Farage already runs the country. An endless cycle of hate & racism. One day boat arrivals, the next releasing ethnicity data for crimes, so we can know whether to riot if they’re brown or shrug if they’re white. Back to the 70s🤦‍♀️ #r4today

Decided to watch Succession again. No sleep for me tonight. Season 1 episode 1

Of course.
