What's happening in the US with trans people and LGBTQIA people in general is very scary. I may be in Ireland but I'm scared for what's to come here also. Seeing how cis people don't seem to care does not give me confidence that when it's Ireland's turn I'll continue to be safe here anymore either.

people who a) are connected to a college campus and know what actually happens there and who b) aren’t paid embarrassing sums of money to lie about it will all tell you this is a crock of shit BUT i frequently get outsiders acting like it’s really true. the propaganda is at least a little effective

This month, Helen Joyce said about her comments that trans people are "a huge problem in a sane world", "That’s going to be my epitaph, I’m very proud of myself."

Sounds a bit like a proposal to create a private SS

"Deputy Political Editor" straight up lying about what you need to do for a GRC

Update: Derek Wilson, Reform UK candidate who posted multiple times about assassinating the Prime Minister, has been arrested.

Darren Grimes was born in 1993

When The Media Sees Fascism

these rightwingers get bored fast because all they know how to do is be mad online and say evil shit, and there’s only so much being mad online and saying evil shit especially if your targets all leave your space

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Plus she recruited a Nazi to write it.

One day this will be in a history book, and they’re going to have to try to explain it in a way that makes any sense to the reader

I will never apologize for a post

This was the last thing I worked on at NBC News and I’m so glad we were able to publish it. It’s about KOSA and tech legislation billed as protecting children that would actually give Trump’s admin unprecedented power to censor the internet. Kids are fighting back. www.nbcnews.com/video/kosa-i...

Dems understand that they need to appeal to low-information, low-partisanship Trump voters and think the way to do that is to go like "look I admire Elon Musk and his noble goals as much as anyone but the Administrative Procedures Act says" when the actual move is "no eggs at the grocery store"

When engaged in unlawful viewpoint discrimination it's important to say so as publicly and stupidly as possible

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

We can't be that far off a bunch of articles about cis women who get declared men because they wanted to run in a race and "failed" the "sex screening", and because of that they lost their families, jobs and human rights. No one will care

The moment he doesn't need the kid as an accessory to push an image, he forgets the poor wee bastard exists 💀

They’re firing the most qualified Black people and hiring the most dipshit white people.

I’m 44 years old and we’ve been talking about immigration/hearing elites complain that legitimate concerns aren’t being heard for my entire adult life

This should be a legally mandated popup on every online headline about single sex spaces 👇

A lesson for the government: mimicking Reform anti-migrant sentiment is unlikely to sway voters back to you. You play on their terms, you lose. Look to Spain instead. Pedro Sánchez has defended immigration as crucial for prosperity - and gained the fastest-growing eurozone economy in the process.

Two years in a row now that delegates - largely the party's youth movements and its trade union delegations - have defeated an anti-trans motion from the CLPs section. This year's effort was supported by the SEC and came in the wake of the leadership's capitulation to anti-trans ideology. Shameful.

Scottish Labour are planning on running a 'Presidential-style election campaign focused on the personality of Sarwar' ahead of the elections there next year. You know what that means. www.politico.eu/article/scot...

This. Lots of people, including lots of feminists, have a deep psychological attachment to gender. Genders are natural and immutable "sex classes" that provide order to the social world, and transness is a freedom that threatens that order. Transphobia is a manifestation of the fear of freedom.

here’s my take as a linguist specializing in interpreting indirect language use: nazi symbols and gestures are a declaration of intent to commit violence and can therefore reasonably be responded to with the actions appropriate to one’s bodily safety being threatened.

remember how i told you yesterday that i've talked with people who are volcanically angry? boy, do i have a story for you coming on monday.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Consider how much of a problem you have being online and then ask yourself how often you’ve actually done this

I for one cannot wait until the entire FBI gets laid off

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

By contrast, working class immigrants and their working class families are clearly not worthy of this respect. Hence this gaslighting that the wide-ranging hostility they have faced for decades from many sectors of British society is no more than the "concerns" of primarily working class people.

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

Everything went wrong when the polite liberal started insisting that we must debate civilly with the fascist, rather than make him scared to voice his fascist opinions at all. Nobody has ever defeated fascism with spirited debate.
