i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The non-violent direct action promoted by Bash Back is the inevitable, and I would say legitimate, response to a society whose institutions, politics and media systematically dehumanise trans people. No pasarán.

Looks like the radical left is dam serious! 🦫

The Overton window is already shifting. The Labour Government are now more scared of losing votes and seats to the Green Party than to Reform. youtu.be/6iFdA6i-URQ?...

From Substack account.

Reform supporters love to suggest that all young people are idiots who don't know anything and that's why 16-year-olds shouldn't have the vote but they simultaneously proudly proclaim that loads of young people love Reform even though they really fucking don't and Reform ONLY leads with people 65+.

You can't claim that everyone is offended these days and then, with War On Terror 2.0 The Enchanted Christmas in full-swing, start kicking off about a dead guy being replaced by a nice picture of a badger on some banknotes.

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

1/🧵 Great, Mary-Ann Stephenson has personally ordered the EHRC to withhold their “outdated” transgender school guidance. “Judge me on what I do” huh? www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tran...

I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

The local elections are in 2 months and Reform UK are begging people to stand. Recruitment must be going poorly, they’ve probably realised they don’t have enough former Tories to fill their candidate list.

Anyways.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health

New addition to the bookshelf (hi randy)

Totally this. The rightwing hate “journalists” are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.

This aged so well, cheers. 🍷🥺

Woke shariah is coming baby! Human rights, a living wage and rent controlled flats for EVERYONE! Yo Matty Badloss, tell Jeffrey Trumpstein we say hi 🖕💚🇬🇧

Legal milk-shaking for Matt Goodwin?

Phillipson: under the present system "children’s educations and lives have suffered." Prediction - telling parents cutting off support is for their child's own good will go down very badly.

For years we've seen an ongoing genocide. It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Minnesota will either save the United States of America from itself a second time (as our 1st MN Volunteers did in 1863), or it will become its own polity. Either way, that civic engagement, high voter turnout, and leading literacy rate will remain unchanged. We are who we are: Minnesotans.

Jolyon suggests that if the EHRC loses it should apologise to trans people. I won’t be accepting an apology from a transphobic organisation that’s been forced into saying sorry. If they lose 🤞, then they need to be disbanded and replaced with a proper NHRI that can rebuild trust with our community.

Seems many UK trans people are losing their NHS prescriptions - including when requested by the official NHS GICs! metro.co.uk/2025/10/16/i...

"I felt very strongly about the supreme court ruling, politically and emotionally. It really hurt me, even though I’m a cisgender woman, and it still hurts me because it targets people within my community." www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Was about to point to this as evidence of Wes Streeting's failure - but then realized his private healthcare investors would regard it as evidence of his success.

🚨 Hundreds, possibly thousands, of GPs are refusing Trans+ adults their healthcare We always said the Trans+ Healthcare scandal would get worse "Given the complexity and unique medical considerations involved in hormone therapy [we're no longer authorising your prescription]" - GP

British.

Every day thousands of new members are joining the Green Party. And solidarity to our friends in @scottishgreens.org who are also rapidly growing as a party! Get involved: Greens.scot/join

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.” Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Amen to that. Admittedly the Greens under Zack Polanski have seen an uptake in popularity. Under a platform of economic justice and not treating minorities (including trans people) like garbage. Jeremy Corbyn's party has promise. Though there's too little known about their agenda in key areas.

Pretty amazed that zack polanski straight up, genuinely defended trans women to piers morgan on his tv show. Can't recall the last time I saw a politician do more than just a soundbite and walk away from it.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy." Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back. insidestory.org.au/disunited-ki...

Michigan Avenue right now.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism. The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us. The Greens say enough is enough.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
