Honestly I hope Judge Van Dyke never picks up an appeal of a sodomy case

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

We are once more again seeing the distortion created by who has access to media. Numerous columns from or about people earning "only" £150k on the horror of private school VAT but barely anything from the hundreds of thousands at risk from genuine deprivation via PIP changes.

First thing to do is change the name. A ‘Wealth Tax’ sounds like the sort of thing they could foist on anyone, & yes, in that dreaded phrase it probably does sound like it ‘penalises ambition’. I like ‘Billionaire Contribution to Make Up For the Crappy Wages They Pay’ but realise it may need work.

In biology, I keep thinking of the bacterial strains, yeast strains, plasmids, mouse lines, worm mutants etc etc etc that will be lost to science FOREVER because the freezers and animal facilities won't be maintained Generations of work will be lost in essentially an instant

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.

OK so now that Reform UK are down to the same amount of MPs as the Green Party there really is no excuse for not giving them the same amount of screen time on current affairs shows.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

We simply do not have to sacrifice the rights of trans people to save rights elsewhere and anybody that tells you otherwise is a fascist

The thing which is bugging me about this is foregrounding a scientific defence against "Empathy is bad" rather than noting that a society that values Empathy is the only society worth living in and the only one worth fighting for.

Really helpful way to look at the US hateful insanity. Also in the quest for hope, an opportunity to imagine a happier kinder more inclusive world.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

There are many good answers to this, but "Don't go" and "Boycott" are not among them. This is television. Television is one of the only things Trump cares about. Don't allow that room to be filled only with his admirers. Shout back, disrupt, challenge, boo, fight. Mess up his show and make it yours.

PM keeps saying cutting aid budget was a “hard decision”. Rubbish, it was an easy cowardly decision - those feeling impacts are 1000s of miles away & won’t trouble him. A harder decision might have been to stand up to vested interests who oppose a wealth tax - but it would’ve been right thing to do

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.
