The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' : "[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

🚨Beware of how this petition is going to be misused by ‘gender critical’ transphobes! On the face of it, it seems innocuous - but it’s clear transphobes are going to conflate trans women with cis men in order to EXCLUDE them from women’s hospital wards! 😖 It’s insidious malicious transphobia! 😤

it bears repeating: if you are right wing all you have to do to avoid prison is NOT DO CRIMES. that's IT. just don't swindle or punch people! prosecutors hate this one simple trick!

of course it's not the Scottish Government's fault. perish the thought.

If you possibly can, please do also contribute to the @translucent.org.uk fundraiser, so they can help defend the Hampstead Ponds in the legal case against them and stand up for trans inclusion. translucent.org.uk/keep-hampste...

the Guardian:

patriotism is for marginal achievers and for people for whose personalities stuff like this is literally true:

Without wishing to defend Streeting in any way, healthcare in Scotland is a devolved matter.

weird how the actual answer, "he has been a habitual liar his entire life," is never considered here

Any time you're tempted to say, "No other minority group has to endure X," there most often is in fact an example of another minority group that has had to endure X.

The constant drip drip of opinion pieces on how Reform will win an election that’s years away is getting a tiresome What we aren’t seeing is the media asking the serious questions? Who funded the purchase in Clacton? How deep did Russian bribery go? Why our so many Reform donors tax exile’s?

racism will not stop racism. killing innocent people will not stop other groups killing innocent people. antisemitism feeds Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism and vice versa. we need solidarity.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

what's frustrating is that the only halfway valid argument for Israel existing is that Jews are unsafe in the diaspora. another reason antisemitism needs to be stamped out.

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

if your response to jews being murdered at their synagogue on yom kippur is “anti-zionism is not antisemitism” or “blame netanyahu” just be honest that like seeing dead jews and want to see more of us dead. also, go fuck yourself.

I don't wish to see a virgin on screen. I don't need to see a virgin on screen, I have a virgin at home :(

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

MTUC statement regarding today's horrific attack on the Manchester Jewish community. Trade Unionists stand in solidarity with those affected.

The fact of the matter is that an attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur is antisemitic, not antizionist. Give your Jewish friends and neighbours support and don't let the actions of one antisemite stoke even more division

someone mentioned this at the end of a service at shul. when I came home I logged on (sue me). people killed in a hate crime. could have been me or anyone I know. that's why I'm SO FUCKING OVERJOYED that these NON-JEWISH people are using the occasion to defend genocide!

logging off for Yom Kippur with

the BBC likes Farage and wants him to win.

absolute spaghetti reasoning. oh i'm absolved of individual morality by the atrocities other people entirely have committed.

just gonna drop this old article from @davidneiwert.bsky.social and walk away dneiwert.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-...

Accidentally thought too long about how small my dog is and got emotional

What's so unsettling about this and Texas A&M is that it's completely clear that the student in question is doing a pre-meditated stunt in order to get their prof disciplined, and yet upper admins are credulously acting as if the students are hapless victims. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

fuck off

decided to go there did we.

this is not to be forgiven.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

How weird that this should have disappeared from the Telegraph archive...

anyone who's thinking of laughing at the very mentally ill person, please also consider not doing that. I'm not turning into one of those 'stupid is a slur' people but mocking him for his delusions isn't clever, it's just making fun of a vulnerable (albeit deeply annoying) person.

Betrayal of Britain: the case of a corrupt and treacherous Reform MP exposes how Russian tentacles reach deep into our democracy. My @theipaper column on the Kremlin funding of divisive populism inews.co.uk/opinion/russ...

I'd love Labour to attack the Greens the same way as they attack Reform (by stealing all their policies).

If a shooter’s politics are hard to pin down, he’s a leftist If a shooter’s politics are right wing, he’s hard to pin down

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Imagine trying to explain the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the deadliest antisemitic violence in US history, but being prohibited from discussing anti-immigrant bigotry and xenophobia. “The shooter hated Jews because he thought we were importing… never mind.”

Thatcher wasn't "strong". She was a bully. Strength is fleeing a warzone, making it to the UK despite the complete absence of safe routes, and then enduring the vicious border regime imposed by the likes of Mahmood, all through the determination to build a better life for yourself and your family.

They Hate Us For Our Freedoms 2: The Nakba Never Happened And We Were Right To Do It

reform the police by disbanding them and bringing in a new police who are not selected for the desire to shoot Black people.

If they don’t pull someone in & fire them by the end of today over this then they might as well give up now. Mass deportation plans are how Reform describe them so this is clearly a sweaty failure panicking at his people finding out what his special friends are actually like

The media’s normalcy bias is a huge problem.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
