More than 50 pardoned Capitol Rioters attended CPAC — including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Several pardoned Capitol Rioters have been invited to speak or attended Republican Party events. Details on how you can support Pardon Tracker:

#Gaza has become a "mass grave." Palestinians and humanitarian workers are enduring extreme suffering as Israeli forces escalate their offensive. We urge Israeli authorities to end the siege on Gaza, protect Palestinians, humanitarian and medical staff and uphold the ceasefire.

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling. The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right. Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

This whole billionaire-slash-model space tourist thing isn’t a victory for women at all. It's misogynistic and insulting. While NASA (kneeling to this administration) is erasing the real contributions, the true heroism, the incredible impact women have truly had on the Space Program and science.

Absolute solidarity with trans and non-binary individuals today. This is another blow to being recognised and accepted. It does nothing to protect anyone, but it does make lives harder and rights at more risk, for trans and non-binary individuals, yet again. www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/16/s...

As we wait for a verdict that only impacts trans people, and in which no trans people were allowed to speak, I remind you of the last year in the Mail, Times, Telegraph and Guardian when it comes to trans people. None of these were written by trans people

Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

i cannot stop laughing

This entire ruling sounds like it was written by Sex Matters

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

This may be the greatest ever chart in the history of public opinion studies.

'The UK’s largest teaching union has called Reform UK “far-right and racist” and its leader has dismissed Nigel Farage as “a poundshop Donald Trump,” as the union pledged funds to oppose the party’s candidates in elections.' www.theguardian.com/education/20...

the thing about 4chan going down is that all of the worst parts of 4chan already leaked out into the rest of the internet years ago

"AI work is just as good as human work" is a statement that *always* flows from the direction of power. Employers to workers, producers to consumers, but not the reverse. Because it's not a thing people actually believe, but an argument: slop is good enough for you; you are slop.

The Canadian woman held by ICE for over a week and who was only released because of public outcry was taken at the San Diego border. She wasn't in California on vacation, but there's literally nothing stopping ICE from detaining Canadian vacationers except laws that the Trump admin doesn't follow.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

It would certainly seem so far to be the case that it was anons from 4chan splinter soyjak party that are responsible for this, so in no way a better collection of people.

Did you know that GB News has now started airing these kinds of comments about abortion? 🧵🧵🧵 In theory Ofcom (the UK’s broadcasting regulator) has strong rules around impartiality on matters of political controversy, and giving views “due weight”... /1

this is good. However I would also just advise looking at who hacked them and if it really is the soyjack party kids that is a group of equally bad Nazi children.

Hahahaha 😂

4chan, the internet’s litter box, got hacked. https://infosec.exchange/@rebane2001/114341178486935903

Excellent reporting here by Jenna (as always), and incredible diligence by the whistleblower.

lol 4chan got hacked

Oh my god! This is just wild.

Emily Ratajkowski says she’s ‘disgusted’ by the Blue Origin space trip: “Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women in space… for what?”

Ok now THIS is virtue signalling. Billionaires wasting billions but it’s ok because “gender equality”

Hungary has just passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities.

. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social was subjected to vicious personal attacks & a SLAPP suit because she saw what was happening & *how* it was happening. The unholy alliance between the broligarchy & the far right is the biggest threat to democracy since 1945. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

🚨 Former Conservative MP Craig Williams has been charged with gambling offences after placing a bet on the timing of the 2024 general election

Imagine if Bernie went out there, told everyone to organize in their communities, donate to mutual aid, protect the vulnerable, and said that he would lead a march on the White House instead of recycling his stale stump speech. Waiting two years for an election is deeply unserious behavior.

Steven Evidence-based man Pinker is always surprised that a bunch of the people he admires turn out to be fascists. At no point does that make him pause for a sec and wonder if he's doing something wrong.

The only way to challenge the anger that Reform is channelling is to improve peoples living conditions. Improve wages, fund & nationalise our vital public services and build council housing. I spoke to @turnleftmedia.co.uk about Reform. 👇🏼 youtu.be/6D4flu4Cy-I?...

Local journalism is a mess. Over the past 20 years, local newsrooms have been decimated. Reach plc - the biggest local news corporation, which owns the likes of Glasgow Live - has cut 62% of UK staff since 2007. So The Bell is a risk. And yet, we're investing further. Meet our new hire.

So now we know how much Nigel was handed from his Nomad Capitalist side-hustle, a company which helps the hyper wealthy with favourable tax and citizenship arrangements. First reported on by me a while back for Byline: bsky.app/profile/mc00...
