When diligent and honest journalism becomes the enemy of the state, the state has become the enemy of the people. #Journalismisnotacrime

A journalist at Sky News told Declassified there are a whole set of unwritten journalistic rules that apply exclusively to Israel -- “The Israeli narrative always reigned supreme and instructed the coverage at Sky News, no matter how inaccurate”. www.declassifieduk.org/battle-for-t...

“I think the stigma is gone.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @owenjones.bsky.social discuss how Americans would not have voted for Trump post WWII. youtube.com/shorts/73H-o...

🚨 NEW: Labour is shutting down Safeline, the only dedicated helpline for male survivors of sexual abuse. Safeline is solely funded by government to the tune of £250,000 a year. Labour is cancelling all of that funding, thus forcing it to close. (Source: Channel 4 News)

Israel has been obstructing the aid effort going into Gaza for 16 months, whether its targeting people securing aid convoys, murdering aid workers, attacking warehouses, killing people collecting aid etc Yesterday they murdered 2 police officers in Rafah who were working on the safe delivery of aid

Journalists from the [right wing] FT & the [right wing] Spectator discuss todays headlines in the [overwhelmingly right wing] newspapers.

War crimes are bold & proposing war crimes requires courage & vision.

Imagine an oak sapling but, as it grows, the trunk doesn't grow thicker and stronger, but all the growth is focused on the trunk getting taller and the canopy getting larger and more spread out until the trunk can't support the canopy. That's neoliberalism. The magic money tree.

Astronomer Fred Hoyle, on predicting the triple-alpha fusion process for carbon generation, was informed stars weren't hot enough, and famously quipped 'well, find somewhere hotter, then!' There is no place in the universe hot enough to burn away the shame at what we've become.

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

ErinReed [Feb 14] -- Demostrations erupted at Stonewall National Park protesting the removal of transgender and queer people from the website by the National Park Service. NPS language was changed from "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+" and then finally scrubbed to just "LGB." [by @rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Pro-Palestine protest leader pleads 'not guilty' after London arrest - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pro-palestine-protest-leader-pleads-not-guilty-after-london-arrest

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

🚨 UPDATE ON DR. ABU SAFIYA Our lawyer has been informed that the Commander of the Southern Command of the Israeli army has issued an order to detain Dr. Abu Safiya under the Unlawful Combatants Law. 1/4

Trans women were at Stonewall. The Stonewall riots began when patrons of a low rent New York gay bar said “Enough!” Prominent among the rioters were dykes, sex workers, trans women and drag queens. Many rioters were already seen as the lowest of the low, they had ‘nothing to lose’. #LGBTHistoryMonth

"Independence of mind" here means "agrees with me" which, in a rant about how we were right all along, is a beautiful metric for the gulf between his perception and the actuality of his grasp of shit. And then to segue into a bloat about self-reflection... r/selfawarewolves

Dunt is everything that's wrong with UK political media. Wrong about Corbyn, wrong about Starmer, wrong about politics, now impotently fuming that his unfailing wrongness can no longer be denied. The left warned, Ian: you smeared us with Jew-hate. Try to *learn*. #ItWasAScam

Barclays CEO pay up from £4.3m to £10.5m. Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008. Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks. Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty. It is class war.

Not being overly dramatic, but in LGBT History Month we URGENTLY need to save LGBT History in a decentralised non-digital way. Watching ideologically captured oligarchs just hit the “delete” button is a warning to how easily LGBTQ+ history can be erased! 😖📚

labour are fucking atrocious. who is this ad for? nobody sees this ad and is thinking ‘wow, this is good stuff!’. keir starmer is fucking embarrassing.

This is Harold Camping. Harold incorrectly predicted the end of the world 6 times between September 1994 and October 2011. Harold is one of the few predictors of world events whose predictions compare unfavourably to the professional politics media you get your info from.

Liberalism's only purpose is to serve as a bulwark against progress. Here, the liberal commentator upon realising he's been supporting a fascist - exactly as we've been telling him - rather than engage in a little self-reflection lays the blame squarely at those who knew all along. What a twonk.

Cloud Capital Going Full MAGA. Google already added the laughable 'Gulf of America' to Google Maps. Next they will add 'Riviera' under Gaza...

Keir Starmer must speak out. David Lammy must speak out. Another red line crossed - they must condemn Donald Trump's plans.

1/ JK Rowling wants you to be scared and disgusted by people who are trans and transition. She wants you to think of all trans people as creepy predators - so she’ll use old photos, pre-transition. Her tactics are essentially no different to thugs whipping up mobs screaming that all Muslims…

"Men battering women is my cabinet secretary's job."

Happening live: Donald Trump is expected to sign a far reaching executive order banning trans people from sports, which can range from disc golf to darts and even dancing and chess, in mere moments. I'll be covering it live. Watch along with me: www.youtube.com/live/vbZH0eZ...

Starmer's own team are briefing that their man is a useless waste of space. The truth is Starmer did literally everything the Labour Right wanted him to do. That's why his government is a disaster. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/keir-starm...

“Trans+ people are under societal pressure to conform to a male/female binary through medication and through surgical procedures. In a troubled sense, it serves us and transphobic cis people by helping us disappear. That way, those who fear and endanger us aren’t ‘confronted’ by our mere presence.”

Appalling.

idk how it’s possible to be a ‘centrist’ in the current climate. you can’t both-sides nazism so im jus gonna presume you’re on team nazi but too embarrassed to say it.

He means he's backing developers and Labour donors whilst destroying the planet. Because Labour really couldn't care less about workers rights or the environment. The only thing he backs is himself.
