Decertifying nearly 800,000 marriages would devastate American socioeconomic systems in ways that we cannot fathom. Not only would queer people lose social recognition of their relationships, they would also lose tax, insurance, and other economic benefits given by marriage. Unnecessary cruelty.

A screenshot of an ABC News article published on August 11, 2025. The headline reads, "Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling." The sub-headline adds, "Kim Davis, a former clerk who refused gay couples, brought the appeal." The article is written by Devin Dwyer.

But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals.

Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.

There’s such a constant stream of bad that it almost gets normalized, but there are still things that stop you dead in your tracks.

Labour are SO lost right now. Unbelievable yet also all too horribly believable.

That deep, deep hole they're in? They took up spades willingly, and dug it for themselves with gusto when they decided to cosplay Reform.

2029 will be an electoral bloodbath.

The not insignificant matter of how often the Albanian chicken nugget story, a case where they ended up being deported, is repeated should show how, relatively, infrequently the ECHR prevents deportations. This would mean the removal of basic rights for migrants.

David Lammy protesting Trump in 2018,

"We are standing in solidarity with many Americans and communicating our huge disapproval with him"

“I think Theresa May has been terribly humiliated today. She looks like an appeaser"

“Trump should not be meeting our great monarch, he doesn't deserve it"

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

Sasquatch with a Labubu mask over its face, with big ears attached and fake oversize Pop Mart tags.

lmao they turned the Sasquatch statue in Blaine into a Labubu.

My labubu is 'almost' the same colour as my dog.

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

I think it's a waste of time to spend your time on social media yelling at people who have the exact same level of power that you do to change the world which is to say very little.

It IS a good use of your time to enlist other people into actions and projects you would like them to join with you.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

The harder Labour cosplay at being Reform, the better Reform do.

Nothing says "validation" like having the governing party with a massive majority adopting all your anti-immigration talking points.

Fringe? Reform are bedrock at this point thanks to Labour (and thanks a bit to the Tories too).

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Gosh, Chancellor Rachel Reeves needs to find £40 billion to maintain her fiscal rules

Illustration of a woman standing in a lit doorway, casting a long shadow down a dark hallway. Text on the image reads: 'Restricting access to safe abortion drives women and girls to unsafe procedures.'

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.

As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them.
Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

the idea that there are certain people (usually white boys) who are special geniuses who need everyone to bend over backward and permit them to be self-centered, antisocial assholes, because they’re destined to do something amazing, is part of a very annoying political project

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Nvidia has a market capitalisation of $4.2 trillion, which is 15% greater than UK GDP. HMRC alone has twice as many staff (68k) as Nvidia. Let that sink in.

This is comically stupid *even on its own absurd terms*.

HMRC annual receipts about £860 billion
Staff about 66,000

Nvidia annual revenues about £90 billion
Staff about 33,000
