Trump ordered the large, 8-stripe, original Gilbert Baker design, Rainbow Flag be removed by the National Park Service from the Stonewall National Monument today. This is the latest in a year-long chain of attacks on the representation of our communities' history in OUR park.

British public strongly back caps on donations to political parties Polling published in the last few weeks reveals that the British public are worried about the influence of money in politics, with a majority wanting to see the introduction of caps

Polling published recently reveals that the British public are worried about the influence of money in politics, with a majority wanting to see the introduction of caps on donations to political parties.

Any doctoral student or early career scholar want to give an online guest lecture on Marcion (preferably) or second century Christianity (but not gnosticism) more broadly?

I think I can offer you a $100 stipend for a 45 minute talk. Needs to be MWF 10-1050.

The 2024 election was the most disproportional in British history. 16.6 million people ended up with an MP they didn't vote for. The Elections Bill could change this – but only if we demand fair votes now. buff.ly/liRmLTs

Local election delays: It’s unacceptable to treat voters like a bureaucratic inconvenience Elections are a crucial part of the democratic process. Citizens have the right to expect a regular opportunity to express a view about who should exercise power in their name, at all le

The government’s reasons for cancelling these elections are not good enough.

“It’s like—como se dice—the militia,” says Hidalgo. “I moved from Mexico, and I saw violence in the past. This is what it looks like. There are hundreds of cases of people being abducted and beat up. I don’t think this is the American dream anymore.”

Censorship of queer lives is rising worldwide - from algorithms burying our stories to AI-driven misinformation spreading division.

So we asked you, our most important editors, how we can protect access to critical information for our community’s liberation.

What you said 👇

Honestly, I think that would be too humane. Maybe more of a The Cask of Amontillado deal would be better.

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.

And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

Yes, this is really Punk. 🤮

A drawing of a magical girl and a pink ranger celebrating. Some text says "mgcl grrrl we did it" A little magical girl drawn underneath asks the author of this Bsky "but author, weren't you asking for so little? Like 100€". The author answers "shssh, they don't need to know I'm poor".

We did it! We raised the minimum for #mgclgrrrl. Even tho it's little money, I'm so touched by people giving money to this little silly thing, some folks even added an extra tip!! I'm gonna make some extra stuff for you all on release day, stay tuned!

If you're sitting in a cinema ostensibly watching a movie and you have your phone out for anything other than a seven-headed dragon rising in the west or other signs of the apocalypse it should be the civic duty of all others present to kick your nuts clean off your useless body.

Using gen. A.I. to make slop imagery to go with any anti-fascist statement isn't any sort of flex as it was developed and promoted by the billionaires pushing fascism.
Just fucking stop using it.

I am so tired of all the things that we said would happen, and were routinely ignored or dismissed by tech bros and neoliberals for saying would happen, continuing to happen, in exactly the way that we said they would happen.

With Trump’s increasing belligerence, the UK urgently needs to establish digital sovereignty. Our country’s day-to-day functions should not rely on a handful of US-based tech giants.

I am calling for a UK digital sovereignty strategy. Write to your MP! action.openrightsgroup.org/protect-brit...

First Past the Post leaves most of us without voice in parliament We live in a country where each constituency has a single MP. Yet for most people this means the MP who “represents” them in parliament doesn’t share their politics, didn’t win a

Each constituency has a single MP, yet for most people this means the MP who “represents” them in parliament doesn’t share their politics, didn’t win a majority of the vote in their local area, and was chosen by a tiny handful of party insiders long before election day.

Just so we are clear. Haitians are currently in the United States legally.

They are not here illegally.

Trump is revoking their legal status Feb. 3, and then, according to reports, immediately sending ICE in to Springfield and Columbus, Ohio, to target them.

Yep, users aren't the customer, they're the product.

All aboard the Springfield monorail

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day

BUT what good is memory if it doesn't allow us to understand the present?
To recognize what is wrong wherever it happens, whoever does it?

New data shows only four complaints about trans women in single‑sex spaces A major Freedom of Information investigation by advocacy group TransLucent has revealed that concerns about trans women in single‑sex spaces are vastly overstated. Over a three‑year period, across 382...

“Over a three‑year period, across 382 public authorities in England - including local councils, NHS trusts and domestic abuse refuges - only four formal complaints were recorded regarding trans women using facilities such as toilets, hospital wards or shelters.”

Transphobic panics are manufactured.

Fuck authoritarians killing innocent people, From Ice To IRGC, To IDF and any other fuckers that think its ok. History will know your names and it will not be kind, it never is.
