The 12 Days of ACAB, Day 4: "NO DUTY SOLICITOR – use one of Netpol's recommended solicitors with protest experience". #12DaysOfACAB

On the fourth day of ACAB, my true love said to me... "NO DUTY SOLICITOR – use one of Netpol's recommended solicitors with protest experience" netpol.org/solicitors/

The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work

THAT’S what should be being called out

But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT

Better to vilify those struggling to make ends meet

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness.

“Never used to be like this,” he insists.

Why don’t the government act against this? Because their entire philosophy is based on giving our horrific press what they want and siding with powerful, wealthy people to stomp upon troublemakers. Their strategy on culture war matters was always total capitulation and cooperation across the board.

There was an alternative though, turn all the guides groups into fully inclusive of all genders as the scouts already are and just stick two fingers up at the bigots. Don't think they should've been obliged to do it, but as an option it seems better than excluding existing members.

Do you notice how this is worse than what’s happening in Trump’s America? Because we are in some ways much further down the extremist radicalisation spiral, because Britain is dominated by the English-speaking world’s most toxic and hateful media outlets, and by fuck those people get what they want.

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

re: LLM answers at the top of search results — it's so funny that they put a little imp who lies to you at the gate to All Human Knowledge. Does Google think it's protecting the city of Thebes??

Sabrina Carpenter responds to the WH stealing her song to use as background music in a montage of ICE arrests.

Meanwhile Ada Lovelace would create the open source software that underpins the entire system but no one would end up crediting her for doing it.

This is awesome

That last line. {Chef's kiss}

That's good, though I'm not sure why the Guides still exist in that case!

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

Social media post: Jane of the North @JaneotN Canadian here. We don't have prayer in schools, or the Ten Commandments, or God. We also don't have dead kids. No Canadian child has ever died in a mass shooting in an elementary school. We have guns. What we don't have is Republicans. American has to get rid of Republicans.

How a neighbor to the rightfully sees us.
I can't prove her wrong.

Please add "puppy killers" to your proposed travel ban.

‘Too small to matter’ is the laziest-possible excuse in climate debate At a time of crisis, co-operation is the only way to resolve the climate collective-action problem

If Ireland's emissions are "too small to matter" then I might as well evade my taxes and eat doughnuts for lunch.

Read my latest column about the laziest excuse in the climate debate:

I'm sorry I keep saying this, but it's sooo important: Mark Kelly is expressing contempt for the One Special Boy in the White House. We need to hear that. Men, especially *young* men, need to hear that. Listen to his voice. C O N T E M P T.

NZ doctors showing some backbone. Shame most of ours appear to have capitulated.

University of Sheffield staff 'intimidated' by pay forfeit warning University of Sheffield to withhold pay if staff do not make up for teaching missed while striking.

Great to see media coverage of the hostile and punitive approach taken by management at @sheffielduni.bsky.social towards @sheffielducu.bsky.social staff striking to protect jobs. Threats and intimidation won't work. We're out until we win!

Trump sleeping in 4 photos with the words: END WOKENESS!

He seems to be constantly fighting 'wokeness' these days...

This is awful. Especially as in other European counties, e.g. Spain, there have only been scouts for everyone for years, why have it single sex anyway? It's just backwards.

Oregon Struggles to Land Federal Counterterrorism Money as Trump Orders Troops to Stop “Terrorists” Hindering ICE A quiet battle has played out in court over money that “sanctuary” states say is needed to fight true extremist threats from both ends of the political spectrum.

Trump sent the National Guard to fight what he called "violent radical left terrorism" in Portland.

At the same time, he's been withholding millions to prepare for what emergency managers say are actual terror threats.

Trump's FEMA says its spending became "a slush fund for woke projects."
