My bet is that he's been a paid state agent for the entirety of his agent provocateur career. Braverman's use of him on Armistice Day to try to quash the Palestine Solidarity movement will be prime evidence.

¡No Pasarán!

Musk has sided with Turkey’s autocratic leader Recep Erdogan and restricted any TwitterX accounts calling for protests over the arrest of Erdogan’s political rival and Presidential hopeful Ekrem Imagoglu.

Thanks to @bikesandbattles.bsky.social, I’m eally appreciating this propaganda poster memorializing the Battle of Barcelona on July 19, 1936. The text reads: “and always our common objective— crush fascism!” The poster was drawn by Carles Fontserè and features a pretty good depiction of a T-26.

#OtD 22 Mar 1974 Scottish workers in the East Killbride Rolls Royce factory refused to work on plane parts from Pinochet's Chile. They kept the refusal up for 4 years, leaving the engines outside to rust, before they went missing one night stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9...

The extraordinary prison regime of Tommy Robinson. Trying to imagine what he would say if it was given to a Muslim or an asylum seeker (caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/admin/2...).

Why do we keep assuming that when a celebrity we like has reached a point where they repeat bigoted talking points on their platform that they are still reachable on the issue by cogent criticism. We develop parasocial relationships with celebs through their work, but we don't actually know them.

Of course she was cleared. It was a political act by police. They take down whoever they like and turn a blind eye to those they share poltical ideology with or think they can work with best.

Another wee plug for this as we get closer to the weekend.

On this day 22 years ago, UK ministers launched an illegal invasion of Iraq. No-one has ever been held to account.

For a police force that is very quick to label ordinary crimes terrorism, the PSNI sure ignores terrorism when it is connected to racial violence: as mentioned then, they don’t bother collecting data on related paramilitary activity. Easier to ignore then. thedetail.tv/articles/psn...

I won't pretend that Amazon's launch of a .ie site is not a threat to many small (and medium sized) businesses here. It is. But if I could ask Irish people to do one thing - don't assume that whatever you're buying will always be cheaper there. A monopoly is in no one's interest. #speirgorm

If you share a photo in an article of the Posie Parker rally in Belfast but manage to exclude the all-Ireland far-right delegation attending from that photo - you know what you are doing. It was a far-right rally with a Britain First linked speaker & dangerous far-right attending from elsewhere.

As thousands of people come into Belfast City Centre to celebrate St Patrick's Day, one of its most important & historic buildings lies left to rot by the failure of private developers. It's time for Assembly Rooms to come into public ownership & save it for future generations.

The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) has released a new report detailing attacks on reproductive health as well as sexual violence perpetrated by the IDF, concluding those could amount to genocidal acts www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

That many trans children are 'DIY'ing - buying drugs online from unregulated suppliers - in consequence of Wes Streeting's Trumpian ban on gender affirming healthcare is a simple fact. We said it would happen - and it has. (Link via @mall.bsky.social). www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

Busy putting the final organisational touches to these workshops in April - supported by a New Foundations grant from @researchireland.bsky.social - more details to come very soon. #speirgorm #queerhistories #queeractvism

Please stop sleeping, stop sleeping on this, it's happening.

Those of us who were invited by the gov as experts to be consulted on the blocker ban literally said all this was happening. Our input was dismissed as 'anecdotal evidence'.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

Wild that Cyber Trucks are trash, SpaceX rockets are exploding all over, and X is a broken shit heap. Wonder if there’s anything in common.

Important - it was exactly the same in Belfast. When Posie Parker's anti-trans tourists came to town - there was far-right w/ links to Britain First invited to speak by organisers & far-right from ROI showing up for her in a shared hate-filled anti-gender crusade. Fascism 🤝 anti-gender transphobia.

And yet.. it's the working class who are restricted, surveilled, arrested and imprisoned for exercising their democratic right to dissent. Remember Labour promised to abolish the House Of Lords.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Exactly this. Employers have all the powers already - it's been a long time since the 'job for life' days but old school politicians don't understand precarity at all. This is about a race to the bottom, job losses, weaponising public servants and shrinking the state to appease donors and the right.

We've written a joint Statement with End Deportations Belfast for International Women's Day. 'We call on all statutory bodies to ensure that abortion healthcare is fully available and accessible to new communities, refugees and people seeking asylum.' buff.ly/KXMKl9H

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Still, he is, as The Saturday and then The Sunday Times put it, a "feminist hero."

Would you know what to do if you experienced transphobic discrimination at work? Worried about applying for jobs as a trans person? Thanks to The National Lottery we’re running free Know Your Rights at Work Zoom workshops.

Make it make sense.

Stanton are NOT an abortion clinic. These anti-abortion fake clinics spread harmful & medically inaccurate disinformation that prevents pregnant people from making informed decisions. Visit our website for trustworthy, up-to-date information. ➡️ bit.ly/48YwlPJ

Pensioners are being forced to choose between heating and eating. This cut is disgraceful, and the £100 offered as compensation is entirely inadequate. The department for communities in Northern Ireland must reverse this cruel policy immediately.

Hope Not Hate's State Of Hate 2025 report is out and Posie Parker gets her own section. Just to be clear.. 'She has found support from the far right, which also targets trans people. Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull has posted anti-Muslim tweets and expressed support for Tommy Robinson. '

The forgotten horror of Sudan: UNICEF reports children as young as one raped in the war. “ armed men stormed homes and raped girls in front of their loved ones. Girls also reported being repeatedly raped by several armed men, one after another.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/childre...

LGBTQ+ orgs in N. Ireland should absolutely not be accepting sponsorship from Coca Cola. Pinkwashing is cheap. LGBTQ+ orgs need to work for liberation and heed queer demands for an end to bloodstained, exploitative deals & the renting out of our identity for unethical cash transactions.
