As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

Greta Thunberg got bad write-ups from Julie Burchill, Brendan O'Neill, Suzanne Moore, Zoe Strimpel and Piers Morgan, the fabled "Arsehole Voltron"

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable

I doubt there's any actual policy goal difference between Trump and Helen Lewis. She just wants it to be quicker, quieter and "more polite"

This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

I do not have the words for how angry this makes me. This guy is single-handedly undoing a centuries of effective public health policy. He will be appointing people who sell supplements.

do not let terfs get away with THIS they've spent the last decade pushing propaganda in to the liberal mainstream on behalf of the american religious right. the 'gender ideology' conspiracy theory she believes comes from the far right @aiannucci.bsky.social: pls tell your bestie to go fuck herself

Never, ever, ever let these bigoted arseholes launder their reputation. They have normalised transphobia and in doing so emboldened the far-right in the UK. Helen Lewis should never be allowed to divorce herself from the damage she has inflicted.

I'd *like* to be extremely concerned about the marines being deployed to an American city and the scientific committee that determines vaccine schedules being disbanded, but I'm gonna hold off until the Distraction Knowers give the okay

Anybody who thinks the Mexican flag is bad optics simply doesn’t like Mexicans. They don’t seem to understand people who have no issue with Mexicans didn’t think about the flag being there whatsoever

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

Helen Lewis is just panicking that Trump's brand of openly rabid transphobia makes her 'polite' brand of transphobia look particularly evil and insidious Her UK handlers are worried and have issued her with damage control orders

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

one reason for this is how few US newsrooms are willing to interview and hire immigrant and international journalists due to legal costs for work visas, and how often non-white immigrant perspectives are considered 'bias' instead of expertise
