This is a good summary of the ghastly situation. It's not all down to Truss and Badenoch, though, as Labour is similarly infected with transphobia. They renewed Falkner in post even though her transphobic biases have long been obvious; their preferred replacement is similarly problematical.

What she’s doing is resurrecting a smear against gay rights campaigners and applying it to trans rights.

How the hell does this get reported as “he said, she said” when you have the video showing what happened? Do you think that’s how you have a lack of bias? For pity’s sake. What is wrong with so many supposedly mainstream news organisations?

Fascism I mean, it goes without saying that the cop would be severely disciplined if not just fired in pretty much any functioning democracy. Under Trump, this is lauded behaviour.

Thinking again about this tonight. We are a deeply unserious country with a deeply unserious press corps, which is why we are deeply in serious trouble both domestically & internationally right now.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation or promoted voluntary return of non-white immigrants and their descendants...to their place of racial ancestry, often with no regard for their citizenship or legal status. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

Eiynah’s work is brilliant, and there’s nothing else like her podcast, which subjects the bigoted atheist celebrities to the trenchant criticism they deserve. Please support this if you can 👇🏻

Where are the articles *by* LA protesters? Not by opinion columnists tsk tsking them, not by journalists covering them, but BY the people directly affected? These must exist but I haven't seen any posted here.

Immigrant families are being forced to put up signs saying 'I work in a care home' to escape the racist violence that's been unleashed in Northern Ireland I come from this part of the world and I cannot tell you the sense of profound shame and horror this fills me with. It disgraces us

This is very off topic but I do love living in a place where picking up your own trash is a fundamental rule of civil behaviour. Of course there are arseholes here. But arseholes like Miller don’t get quite as far as he’s got in the US.

@gabrielmilland.bsky.social blocked me for pointing out - with sources - that he had made a factually false statement about Zohran Mamdani. Milland needs to get his head out of the corrupt Netanyahu’s arse.

People get mad at me on bluesky but I rarely get called slurs, see someone posting a bullshit chart about how people like me are subhuman, and no one complains when i Romapost. People seem to actually read pieces I share! As far as social media experiences go it’s about as good as it gets
