Thank you Osita for speaking out. The campaign against transgender people in the last few months is most accurately compared in this country's history to Jim Crow and the internment of Japanese-Americans. Deliberate, systematic removal of rights and cleaving of civil society.

Boycott American products. Boycott anyone that advertises on GB News. Simple direct action that hits them where it hurts. Financially. Express your disgust with your wallet.

To be fair - we should probably put NATO into administration and drive Europe to fill the defence space... ...a complete reversal of the previous dynamic, I am fully aware, but actually a huge opportunity for Europe (manufacturing, R&D, hard power, cybersecurity, procurement cohesion, etc, etc).

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

The notion that Ukraine should have held elections when a large chunk of its population were under enemy control and it has troops at the front line… …is so farcical that I’m surprised Russia had the balls to push it. That Trump didn’t comprehend the simple dynamics of it… less so. 💁🏻‍♂️

The UK PM had a call with the Ukranian President today. The call was clearly preparation for the PM's talks in the US with Trump. The pair spoke of the need for Ukraine to involved in talks to end the war and that safeguarding Ukraine’s sovereignty was essential. www.gov.uk/government/n...

How can this man be in our Parliament. Surely so obviously supporting and sharing the stage with someone who has and/or is about to go on to do a Nazi salute is in breach of some sort of Parliamentary standards? Can he be reported and suspended? Can a recall petition then be held?

Another fevered story in the Daily Mail this morning attacking OnlyFans. The British tabloid press has been amping up antiporn stories, in what I suspect is a coordinated campaign to gin up public (and thus legislative) anger. We've seen this before.

while i appreciate this sentiment, this is not the reality that trans people face right now. they are being targeted hard, discriminated against, tortured in prisons, and no one is slowing them down.

And that's number four by my count. The Overton Window has been moving for a while but we might be looking back on Musk's salute as another turning point. And when you refuse to call this out for what it is -- straight-up Nazism -- it helps it metastasize.
