Silence is complicity. Abstaining is not neutral, it’s siding with injustice. If you don’t vote against Starmer’s assault on disabled people & carers, you’re endorsing it. History will remember your silence. #NoMoreNoShows #WelfareCuts

On the For Some Women, Scotland Supreme Court judgment, which comes out this morning. (For 'Some' Women because, despite the best efforts of water carriers for the Christian Right, women generally are not where it is.)🧵

The Trump Administration has far more criminals, criminal indictments, and is guilty of far more crimes (and more serious crimes) than ALL of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador, combined. This isn't about crime, or about law & order. Don't let them gaslight you.

Disabled people’s organisations tell Kendall benefit cuts are ‘incredibly dangerous’ and consultation is a ‘sham’. The best strategy is to mobilise opposition to the cuts. Meet you MP face-to-face, tell him/her to vote against the cruel and unnecessary cut.

I am convinced he’s sending innocent men to a death camp in El Salvador without due process is so he can send whoever he likes to prison without due process. If you think he’s stopping with immigrants you are very much mistaken.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

I wrote I piece for ForBetterScience.com about a U.S./U.K. “superstar” professor with over 100.000 citations, largely obtained through rather questionable methods. I found more completely ridiculous & unhinged stuff when I dug deeper. Enjoy the ride: forbetterscience.com/2025/04/15/a...

Electoral wake-up call’: dozens of Labour MPs risk losing majorities over welfare cuts. Starmer opening doors for Reform to benefit from protest vote who will inflict even harsher cuts and austerity. Insist on a face-to-face meeting with your MP. Tell him/her to vote against the policy.

Cutting Pip will not necessarily reduce the welfare bill. But it will drive more disabled people into poverty. Those with savings will exhaust them..Others will be priced out of work entirely. Many may end up needing more support from public services like the NHS theconversation.com/why-financia...

Another Post Office boss linked to the Horizon scandal given a job handling compensation claims. Insensitive. Ministers repeatedly been asked to prevent this potential conflict of interests, and pain to the victims. Post Office must have no link with any compensation decision. archive.ph/qFzSg

Outrage is the perfect title for this book because if you care about human rights and the right for everyone to have equitable access to just living then much of this book will make you outraged. And it should. But it also features trailblazers and positive steps you can take for allyship.

For @thefence.bsky.social I'm collecting EXTREMELY PETTY MONEY SAVING TIPS for the coming recession, eg using white bread instead of pencil erasers or buying a 1981 calendar for 2026 because the days will line up. If any of you can beat this absurdly niche example I've just been sent, I'm all ears.

Another betrayal to the service and sacrifice made by the officers who defended the Capitol. Trump directs the justice department to reimburse Jan. 6 rioters for refunds of the restitution payments they made to cover damage to the Capitol. He doesn’t support the police…he never has.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
