Ah. Nothing like @uklabour.bsky.social attacking the notion of universality. So far from the foundations of the Labour movement.

Man. Online learning can be a scam. Just paid money to EDx for a course from Babson. From a video on the course it appears the content (to do with Data analysis) is 9 years old. So in a fast moving area EDx and Babson are offering old information. Nae pleased.

Just watched Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley talking about Adriana Smith, the dead Georgia woman whose body is being used as an incubator. Adriana’s little 5 year boy asks when his mum is going to wake up. This twisted cruelty is unfathomable

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...

BBC NEWS “In the last few hours Russia has begun targeting major British cities with an army of nuclear drones, but we’re interrupting coverage of the attack because Nigel Farage has just farted after eating an enormous ploughman’s lunch.”

[email protected] has done great work in its climate change broadcast tonight, but sadly between the outrages in Trump's America, in Gaza, & Ukraine, I doubt any of it will really cut through. We are collectively accelerating towards an existential catastrophe, & too many of us just don't care.

The "1.2 m illegal immigrants" number - (from @pewresearch.org - has been seized on by Reform, unchallenged by BBC/media. It's a lie. 1. It includes large number of people with leave to remain" - here legally. 2. It includes* children born here 3. It's upper limit of 800K-1.2m range

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

BREAKING: NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who was on vacation in New York City, leaving her 12-year-old daughter on the street alone. This is what happens when you embolden ICE to act with zero oversight. Trump’s America.

As you watch ICE terrorize Los Angeles, remember: private prison companies are going to get very, very rich off Trump's cruelty.

I have drafted a template letter which you can send to the Women and Equalities Select Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights, concerning the proposed appointment of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson as the new head of the EHRC. Please share widely. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy. We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

“We remember those Muslims… facing conflict, persecution or suffering”, says the PM. Meanwhile the UK continues to arm Israel’s genocide, & thousands of Palestinians mourn the slaughter of their families. Spare us the hypocrisy. Impose an immediate full arms embargo on Israel.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Shocking but unsurprising to see two Labour MPs in front attempt to shout me down — for standing up for disabled people hit by cuts, kids pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap & pensioners who lost winter fuel payments. I know whose side I’m on. Can they say the same?

Taken trans rights back 25 years. Banned from every major Pride march in the country because of their bigotry. Biggest drop in the UK's ILGA rating. But Labour are wishing us "Happy Pride. Can't bring themselves to say to LGBTQ+ though. The racist fucks in Labour probably think it means white pride

Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)
