Call me Chappell Roan, because I hate to say, but I told you so.

This is what I was trying to tell all the people who praising were prasing the Brazilian government and COP30 as a whole and not the Indigenous resistance that happened before, during, and after!

We wish we were American is relatively new and Still marginal. There was a shift from the British Empire to the recognition of the importance of the USA, but not a desire to be that which we were not. Polievre etc is a relatively recent strand of conservatism, tied to the economic rise of Alberta

Government Bill (House of Commons) C-12 (45-1) - First Reading - Strengthening Canada's Immigration System and Borders Act - Parliament of Canada Government Bill (House of Commons) C-12 (45-1) - First Reading - Strengthening Canada's Immigration System and Borders Act - Parliament of Canada

The Canadian government toned down the law-enforcement portion of its putative border bill - but left in place measures restricting access to Canada's asylum system and giving the minister power to "cancel, suspend or vary" immigration dox. Read it: www.parl.ca/DocumentView...

Trans youth suicide - the truth we've always known. What it means to me and what I've been doing about it. Last week Queer AF broke a story that revealed the suicide rate in trans under eighteens is around fourteen times higher than you might expect from census data.As the parent of Alice a trans woman who...

I've written a blog aimed at cis ppl, on the recent revelations of rising trans suicide rates since NHS England removed gender affirming care for u18s, in particular about my involvement with trying to seek the truth and the trauma the gaslighting by Appleby, Streeting, Cass and the media causes.

I just find Streeting so repulsive and plain mean. I can cogitate mediocrity, but these people have won this massive majority then just been adrift and hateful. Like being shitty were the goal

The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting.

A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

Wrong, deadly wrong. The loan is agreed with unanimity of participants. Please keep your anger for Hungary, The Czech Republic and Slovakia who refused to participate. Tired of this lazy and useless French bashing. When you donโ€™t know, donโ€™t spread rumors.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by โ€œfree economic zonesโ€ with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

No front line: Russia's hybrid pressure on German army in Lithuania The German army brigade in Lithuania is not under fire, but it is under hybrid attack. Soldiers report mysterious phone calls, and drones appear to be spying on manoeuvres. How should the Bundeswehr and NATO respond?
