I’m honestly bemused as to why we don’t do this (preferably at a higher rate and with a lower threshold).

Can you even imagine being the sort of shithead that gets on the tube and counts the number of people of colour in the carriage so you can be racist on social media about it? And yet these people have dangerously powerful positions and are endlessly platformed by mainstream media. What a twat.

We condemn the University of Cambridge's attempt to place legal restrictions on all pro-Palestine protests. Alongside @pscupdates.bsky.social and @libertyhq.bsky.social we call out this application to the High Court for an injunction what it is: a shameful attack on basic democratic rights.

let me put it in words he’ll understand: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht’s failure and the comparable success of Die Linke shows that successful left-wing populist movements must shed the lifestyle obsessions of strange minorities: like anti-trans activists, racists and so-called “anti-woke” elites. 😉

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Losing one presenter of colour could be considered “just one of those things” losing several could be considered “capitulation and complicity with a fascist regime”

Once again, the rise of the AfD and its relatively greater popularity in the East has led to yet another round of discussion around the legacy of the GDR and contemporary German politics. A short thread:

Ines Schwerdtner, who defeated Hitler's finance minister's granddaughter in Lichtenberg, explains how she did it. "I knocked on doors and when people said they voted AfD, I said 'Okay, but if you want, you can still come to my office and I'll check if your heating bill is too high.'"

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

There’s also something striking about where in the former East German states the vote went to Die Linke. Rostock, Berlin, Leipzig, Erfurt, Weimar, Jena - all different sizes, all differently affluent, all with their own issues, but all university towns.
