I have no idea if Nigel Farage fucks goats. Where's my LBC interview?

hello, i made this bot. i am a trans autistic anti-fascist. you are following a work of trans autistic anti-fascist art. that is why it is screaming

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

🧵This is a thread about Reply Guys. I like it when posts go viral coz I'm a big show-off and the internet is responsible for most of my career. When you go viral you get new followers, fun replies, sometimes even industry interest omg. But you also get: Reply Guys.

Unless something significantly changes, this is looking very bad for the Home Office It's the first time I've heard a Court of Appeal judge preface a question with the phrase "are you seriously submitting..." Two judges have said decision was contrary to the rule of law and rights of individuals

The government appealed this decision and I'm at the ongoing Court of Appeal hearing for it The judges are grilling the home secretary's barrister on the reasons for departing from the Home Office's own statutory guidance on trafficking decisions and noted they changed it the next day

Nearly got raptured, lads.

Okay, look, I want to explain a bit about this mystery of why Italians (and other Southern Europeans) are so much more up for rioting than people in the UK. The UK has over 7 million CCTV cameras. That's more than 1 camera per 10 people. London is the 3rd most surveilled city in the world. 1/

"It's time to stop your pathetic attempts at cancellation" says Liz Truss... on the same day she called for the BBC to be defunded and a journalist's press pass revoked.

Just to absolutely clear 'cos nobody seems to be saying it out loud: Farage wants to selectively deport based on race. This is the kind of 5 alarm racism he has always kept at arms length up to this point.

You can fuck off with the 'London-based' bollocks. Like the person who started the thread, I live in Scotland. And, like them, I think you are talking out of your hoop.

It is hardly the point but a) trans people existed in Medieval Europe, b) lots of currencies were used in Medieval Europe, not just gold, which was in fact uncommon, c) alchemy was a lot more common in early modern Europe, d) women are not a commodity you absolute weapons????

And of course it’s not just pain! Even if you think ppl should just suck it up and deal with the pain of like, a broken rib or dislocated joint or whatever- it’s a fever reducer. You know what can actually be harmful to a foetus? Uncontrolled fever. This is cruel but also dangerous.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

You literally censored Judith Butler for accurately describing the 'gender critical' movement as part of fascism. And now prominent GC activists are hanging out with neo-Nazis (Minshull), calling people who cared about Flloyd "very weird" (Freeman) and saying that "ethnicity matters"(Stock).

I cannot believe this still needs saying, but, and I say this as an autistic individual, vaccines do not cause autism. Whatever comes out of the White House is aimed specifically at undermining recognition and support for autistic individuals, and minimising our lives and experiences.

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

Hey, Keir Starmer, good to know your only objections to Reform's proposal for removing my mother's ILR (after decades working in the NHS) is that it is "unworkable" and "unfunded". Not that it is morally and legally repugnant and fascist. Cool, cool, very cool. bsky.app/profile/snig...

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

Opposing morally repugnant anti-immigrant policies using economic arguments is like trying to convince somebody not to shoot your dog because they can't afford to buy bullets.

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

The principal finding of the paper was that trans kids detransitioned at about the same rate as cis kids adopted a trans identity - roughly 4%. Coverage of what the paper actually says can be found here www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Yep, here's the key takeaway, from p.83: 15% of all participants in all groups figured out that they're nonbinary over the course of the study. That means that of the 20% change that The Economist reported, 3/4 of that was just one type of trans to another. Absolutely disgusting reporting.

Now that the UK government has, finally, announced formal recognition of a Palestine state, the next step, among others, needs to be providing a safe route for Palestinians to seek asylum in the UK from what is unequivocally a genocide being committed against them in Gaza. Otherwise it's just words.

72 hour suspension for a post about Prescott Bush's 1933 Business Plot and how absolutely none of the people involved were even prosecuted for it, let alone given the maximum sentence for it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...

Red is the rose Purple the violet

The DUP moved unilaterally to act against trans kids in schools, the Executive acted to remove healthcare from trans kids with speed. That was an 'emergency'. 'Just protecting children' they repeat, over and over. Meanwhile in Northern Ireland...

NEW Has the government overreached in using terrorism law against Palestine Action? A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Thanks @sarahbool.bsky.social for raising this in Parliament. I’m not in active cancer treatment, but I nearly ran out of vital meds and almost missed an MRI—which flagged something needing biopsy. Post-cancer checks are critical. I'd hate for those with less resources to get in a similar situation.

This week's Friday Murder ties in quite nicely to the police and public health workshop from earlier this week, because it's about GROSS NEGLIGENCE MANSLAUGHTER. It's from 1848, so pre-GMC and registration, a time when doctors were desperately trying to outlaw quackery. (ONE HELL OF A 🧵)

Abolish the Home Office

Exc: 13 Afghans who worked with the British Army are being deported back to Afghanistan despite being under the care of the British High Commission in Pakistan after delays getting them to the UK. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Too often people go to parliament to spout absolute bollocks

Britain's chemical castration plan for sex offenders seems like the most obvious attempt to avoid doing anything about sex offending, while giving the govt an excuse to release large numbers of offenders despite the fact people can and do offend while chemically castrated.

Every headline talking about Kimmel being suspended for his “Kirk comments” is journalistic malpractice. He was suspended for comments about MAGA opportunists exploiting Kirk’s death, after the FCC chair issued a Mafioso threat.

got bored. made the test card clown

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Nonce-sense

The arrest of four people after this incident is an outrageous affront to the freedom of expression enjoyed by UK citizens. It is a human right we all enjoy and is protected in law. 1/2

This remains my prediction.

It also requires the material to be offensive. It's a picture of two men smiling who said they were great friends. The Met need to be sued into oblivion for being political pawns and silencing free speech.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
