The soul is not a simple song. It’s discordant. Cacophonous. You are the raging storm, fists clenched in righteousness, Then collapse, trembling, gripped by doubt.   You burn with hatred, seethe with envy,  And yet still ache for tenderness and love. All is true. All is human.

The world feels cold right now, but remember that most hearts beat with kindness. Quiet acts of courage & care surround us daily. Light wins, not with noise, but with relentless, ordinary goodness. History bends toward hope because we bend it there. Hold fast. Better days are built, not found.

We’re a nation of thunderous voices and trembling hands. Quick to post, slow to act. We’ll flood the streets with outrage, but not risk a bruise. The edifice of injustice won’t fall to hashtags. When will we raise more than our voices? When will we raise our fists?

Historians: Quibbling Over Exact Definition Of Concentration Camp Sign Of Healthy Society

Sorry, "their powers of advocacy"? She's not talking about the same group of persistently delegitimised people as the rest of us is she? How are they supposed to magic up these third spaces? This is shameful.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was disappeared. The US defied a federal court, and now openly defying a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling. This isn’t an error. It’s a test. Authoritarianism doesn’t kick down the door. It slips through the cracks. “just one man” “just this once” The canary’s dead. The gas is rising.

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

You are a hypocrite if you are celebrating Christ this weekend while cheering for a Tyrant… You just are.

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

A US senator has been denied access to the wrongly deported man, Abrego Garcia. That coupled with the refusal of the Trump administration to act on the Supreme Court decision to return him to the USA leads me to believe Garcia has been killed. I hope not. Yet... www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I fully repaired my 5 year old Nutribullet today with spare parts costing about £6. Good as new. Plus it scratched my fiddling itch. I just gotta fiddle, you know? You may not know, but I know there are those that do. They get something stuck in their head and they gotta fiddle their way out.

When they go low, you need to go subterranean.

The only winners of the Opression Olympics are the organisers, not the competitors. If only we could turn our talents towards those who created the games rather than jumping the highest to gain their fickle and fleeting favour.

Today it seems we all need to be reminded of what is really happening here. Credit: @adamtots.bsky.social

Since Spotify is down and I can't listen to music, (because who even owns a CD player anymore) let's start a thread of some of our favourite song lyrics. I'll start: She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever From: Lover, You Should’ve Come Over by Jeff Buckley 1994

Came here to ask this.

UK Supreme Court rules legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex I know some women are celebrating this as a victory, so why don't I feel this will in any way be a protection of my wife and daughters? They are still at risk, but not from trans people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time

Native Americans when European Americans cheer for the deportation of the other Americans.

Space adventure and exploration should be for the benefit of all humankind, not the whimsy of a few.

“Something bad is happening.” 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

No claims of colour or culture, just evil, fucked up people. Can we now apply this across the board please?

"Happy Lent" "Lent lights" "Happy Good Friday" are all not actually a thing in most, if not all bits of modern Christianity. People demanding such in the name of Christianity are engaging in performative nonsense.

I swear these racing drivers are getting younger and younger. #Bodlet #BodletAtBrooklands

@emergencybod.medsky.social you wanted evidence… so here’s me making myself feel sick lol

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Big shout out to the guys who said it "didn't matter" who Americans voted for because "they are all the same". www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have complained about both of my alma maters frequently so I want to share praise where praise is due. I'm proud of Harvard for finding their backbone. It's a big deal because everyone else looks to them. And godspeed to them in fighting this shakedown bullshit from the Trump administration.

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far. They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

There is a phenomenon known as Aphantasia which I only learnt about recently. It's the inability to visualise imagery in the mind. This concept is so foreign to my experience that I genuinely struggle to imagine it. Apparently around 4% of people have it. 🤯 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphanta...

I'm only partially joking when I say that there's a real possibility the UK will see an influx of Americans asylum seekers in the coming months.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Salvadoran President Claims He Lacks Humanity To Return Wrongly Deported Man

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.
