Amnesty International has launched a global ‘Urgent Action’, following the arrest of over 700 people for protesting in support of Palestine Action.

Amnesty chief Sacha Deshmukh: “It is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating the peaceful protesters as ‘terrorists’"

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:

It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

BREAKING: Labour will formally recognise trans women as ‘men’ tomorrow. It means trans women will be banned from all women shortlists and all Labour women’s groups. Revolting. The party’s relationship with LGBT+ is over.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

The thing is there’s only a handful of them who have any proof that they would be at those levels in any other field.

Sometimes it seems with Parliament that as soon as new MPs join their older colleagues run then through all of the dodges. I think so many of them genuinely believe “I work so hard so I spills get some perks”.

I’ve worked at so many companies where the CEO would stand up at the quarterly meetings and if the quarter had gone well it was down to their genius whereas if things were going badly it was all about market conditions and factors beyond our control. Just seemed random to me.

I’ve worked in so many places (including as a freelancer) where I was expected to do mandatory anti-bribery training despite never being in a position to effect decisions meanwhile MPs just treat it as a perk of the job 🤬

Just had an email from Trailfinders about holidays to the USA. They forgot to mention the joys of arrest and detention without trial at the border, being turned away for no reason and the delight of getting to visit an El Salvadorian prison or Guantanamo Bay.

Manipulating the Stock Market as President so the entire country loses while you and your billionaire buddies gain isn't just Insider Trading, it is Treason.

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place.

I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.

Because it needs to be said again

I read that as megalodon first time through and I’m genuinely not sure if that would be better or worse. At least they have experience in the water.

I think the food would instantly cease to be healthy if something fun came with it.

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who feels safer and more comfortable around our trans brothers and sisters than around hateful MAGA lunatics.

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.

But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.

NO NO NO NOT FAIR!
😠 😭

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RP if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

Maybe he thought the role was over-the-counter terrorism.
