Is it really that confusing?

A former police officer is claiming that she was discriminated against by a voluntary event to which she was invited at which pro-trans views were articulated. What was that about free speech? tribunaltweets.substack.com/p/newman-vs-...

I’m in tears

Why are people so silly?

Far right: “Anyone who supports Zelenskyy is in favour of people being killed. Killing is bad. Make peace with Putin straight away to stop the killing. You should oppose killing.” Also far right: “Small boats? SINK THEM!”

Effective signage

Lift the cap.

Every time my wife uses a sentence containing the word “tub” (eg: “I’ve put the leftovers in a tub in the fridge”) I ask, “In a what?” Then she says, “Tub,” and I say, “Don’t call me that.”

Out-Farageing Farage won’t work. Currently the Tory pitch to voters seems to be “Reform are right about everything but please vote for us instead” The hard/far-right is defeated by taking it on, not by acquiescing to it

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Will someone please think of the poor bust of Winston Churchill, the real victim here.......

Shadow justice sec Robert Jenrick on the other website: “sickened by that degrading spectacle…to think the bust of Winston Churchill was in the same room”

My head and my heart both scream at me that, at some point, every democratic state is going to have to start treating the US as its enemy.

Oh my gosh. I have just watched footage of Zelensky in the Oval Office. I have never seen anything like this. An extraordinary, incendiary exchange.

Why do (presumably) grown adults think that this is an acceptable way to communicate?

Without forgiving Palestinian atrocities for one second, we must expect more from our side. It dishonors the memories of the Bibases and all hostages whose lives were brutally cut short by Palestinian terrorists to adopt a policy of terrorizing Palestinians in response.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Trump's transgender military ban document was just released. They're immediately separating service members, and some WILL have to pay back bonuses they received at enlistment. This is textbook erasure and it's beyond cruel. Let's see if any politicians will stand up for our community.

This is a shockingly bad take. It is absolutely certain that Bibas boys would still be alive if Hamas hadn’t decided to abduct them. This ‘What, me, guv?’ attempt to portray Hamas as some sort of innocent bystander – present but not involved – is sick.

The FDA cancels meeting to select flu strains for next season‘s vaccines. What. The. Fuck???

Trans people, intersex people, gendernonconforming and gender expansive people have existed in every community and culture worldwide. Including throughout the long stretch of Jewish tradition.

This is awesome

Whoah there, @dalevince.com actually said this ⤵️ on the radio and isn’t embarrassed?

Watching the fake cabinet meeting where Musk is lecturing everyone, it's like one of those 12th century situations where the king got infatuated with a self-described wizard for a couple of years. History says eventually everyone else gets tired of him and he ends up ... poorly.

This headline is simply an out-and-out lie. The Department for Education hasn’t “refused” to release anything. It hasn’t yet responded to the request (10 days remain until the deadline).

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

What has the most high profile anti trans campaigner got to do with an increase with anti LGBTQ sentiment? Gosh. It’s a mystery isn’t it?

The irony of Melanie Phillips, of all people, using the sentence: “Jews don’t attack Muslims with hatred and lies.”

When I see things like this I always wonder: If Israel brainwashes everyone into serving her own causes, how come so many people have successfully managed to be vocally anti-Israel?

The Jewish far right: “It’s an antisemitic blood libel to accuse Israel of genocide!” Also the Jewish far right: “⤵️”

According to the Mail, "five photos of former Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell" have been taken off the walls in parliament.

The animals looked from pig to man...

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

TLDR: ‘I hate Muslims.’ Why does @jewishchron.bsky.social publish this filth?

From my synagogue e-bulletin today: It is all but impossible to find the words this week. The confirmation that Ariel and Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October, have been murdered, is news that was hardly surprising yet, for all that, no easier for us to hear. /1

In a single answer, she explains that the Lib Dems are a “protest party” because they are “nice” (what are people protesting about, cake?) and simultaneously “extreme”. You can sort of see where each point comes from but not where it hangs together in any coherent sense.

Fixed it...

This is tactically wrong given Trump’s unpopularity in the UK, but it’s also substantively wrong because what, exactly, does Kemi Badenoch want to cut? It’s all very well staying the state does too much but you need some sort of articulation as to what it should stop doing.

The Western values that Kemi & her far right chums like: colonialism; might is right; denying & practising racism. The Western values they hate: anti colonialism; enlightened universalism; progressive reform. The Western values they’re willing to apply selectively: free speech; scientific method.

Each act, however small, adds up. May Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's brave words inspire all of us to keep speaking out and fighting back against the hate and division of this administration. #SolidarityWithBudde sign.moveon.org/petitions/so...

Is there a fact-checker in the house?

Why should farmers be exempt from a tax imposed on everyone else? OK, they grow our food. Well done them. Meanwhile… Midwives pay inheritance tax and they deliver our babies. Firefighters pay inheritance tax and they save our lives. Teachers pay inheritance tax and they educate our young.

Is it “unacceptable” for politicians to suggest that a judge made the wrong ruling? I’m not sure it is. Inflammatory language (“enemies of the people”) would be unacceptable, but this exchange was perfectly moderate.

Jewish guy in Miami saw a car being driven by what he thought was a Palestinian. He shot him. The driver of the car was actually Israeli. He assumed he was being shot at by a Palestinian. He survived & posted “Death to Arabs” on Facebook. What is wrong with people?
