Practical help: Donate to Kids In Need of Defense (KIND). They help unaccompanied minors get legal representation in the immigration system. I have worked with them and taken matters referred from them. They do incredible and important work. give.supportkind.org/page/79834/d...

Everytime I read a thread critiquing the commercial LLMs that are being imbedded into *everything*, several people will jump in to say “Ahem, ChatGPT helps me write emails.” as if that’s not a totally embarrassing thing to admit.

👏👏👏 "It is those in high places who allow this barbarity in Gaza... but nobody threatens their careers or salaries. There's not a cheep about them as the political guns are turned on three working-class rappers."

The EHRC is a grotesque organisation. But it is grotesque because Labour wants it that way. Point out what it is - but hold Labour accountable.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

A moral government would support it's lawyers and oppose US sanctions. Starmer loves to tell us how he's a former human rights lawyer. But he hasn't the integrity to stand up for his former colleagues. skwawkbox.org/2025/04/26/g...

I need Dems to ABSOLUTELY NOT SHUT UP about this. This is a US CITIZEN WITH CANCER that has been kidnapped by the government.

Please NEVER talk to cops; especially without a lawyer present. If you have the misfortune of encountering police who request info other than can be discerned by your lawfully obtained ID, keep your mouth shut unless you are calmly, clearly asserting your right to legal counsel. Now, more than ever.

🚨 If you have a heart, don't skip . My family and I are hungry. We don't have food. I feel so sad because I'm asking for help and I can't provide food for my children. 😔 I'm a victim of a war in which I lost everything My job as a teacher and a beautiful home.💔 Please help me.🙏 gofund.me/edd687b8

why must these people make their broken repressed brains everyone else's problem

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

JK coming for Pedro Pascal is a bit like when Kemi Badenoch tried to attack David Tennant. Girl, you underestimate how much people love him.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

It is full on nazi shit. The comparison is valid and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

We are dismayed and angered by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council's statement on the Supreme Court ruling. Full statement in alt text.

Yesterday the NOAA regional administrator for the Pacific enacted Trump's EO and opened 84% of the Pacific Islands Heritage monument to industrial fishing

If you want to know how serious our decline in the UK, when North Carolina did what the Labour Government and EHRC have done, the then UK Government told LGBT+ people to beware travelling there. (Credit to @kazhawa.bsky.social.) www.voanews.com/amp/uk-issue...

In case you missed it, late last night the EHRC released draft guidance to the effect that owners of businesses that provide toilets will have a legal duty to enforce the mad "biological sex" rules about toilet access. If you own such a business, complain, loudly.

For people wondering why the UK's Equality And Human Rights Commission is acting counter to human rights, I'll c+p a combination of threads from a couple of years ago. They cover the systemic attack on many marginalised communities by idealogues trying to dismantle human rights law. 1/

I cannot overstate how troubling it is to me that law enforcement - our most numerous first responders in this country - do not know what a fentanyl overdose looks like many years into a public health crisis of fentanyl overdoses. You also cannot overdose on fentanyl when there isn’t any fentanyl!

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

What an interesting choice of words

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

This is a measure of how far to the right Labour has moved under Starmer. Even the Evening Standard is urging people not to vote Labour in the upcoming elections because of its horrific transphobia, racism, xenophobia and ableism. Labour has *become* Reform.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is cool 😎

NEW on how Mohsen Mahdawi was detained in a "trap." At a citizenship interview, he signed his pledge to “defend the Constitution." The official left to go “check” something. Said he'd be back. Then masked & armed agents came in, shackled Mahdawi, and tried to fly him 1000 miles away to Louisiana.

Just in case 2008 didn't do it, this should let you know that investors aren't very careful/bright.

"autism didn't exist until recent history" buddy there are some extremely autistic people in history you just didnt notice because their special interest were Christ or trains

Majoring in Women’s Studies Now Illegal In Ohio how is that not a Handmaid’s headline

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Cis women in Ireland need to talk to other cis women in our lives and pour water on the kind of thinly veiled, soft-sounding bigotry that's creeping into people's social media and minds before we fully go the way of the UK. TERFs are claiming to speak FOR us - we need to speak for ourselves. Loudly.

Thrilled to learn that my mental health data is now part of RFK Jr's new eugenics database, I'm sure that won't come back to bite me in any way as we continue to move into this glorious Golden Age

I'm sure Theo James is a lovely person IRL but this feels less like an ad for a Range Rover & more an ad for Who Should Go On The List When The Revolution Comes. It takes a lot to be more ostentatiously unsufferable than the people in the Ketel One commercials. Kudos? www.ispot.tv/ad/fe0u/2025...

Please help if you can! 💗

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Deport Kneecap from the USA? It’d get a similar response from the Irish as Kristi Noem shooting one of President Michael D Higgins’s dogs in front of him. Also. Fuck Sharon Osbourne. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
