A great response. The dehumanisation of migrants must stop. Safe routes are logical if the government really care about people not making these dangerous crossings by boat

The Anthropic-DOD Conflict: Privacy Protections Shouldn’t Depend On the Decisions of a Few Powerful People The U.S. military has officially ended its $200 million contract with AI company Anthropic and has ordered all other military contractors to cease use of their products. Why? Because of a dispute over...

The Anthropic dustup has one clear message: Our privacy rights should not be dependent on backroom deals between tech CEOs and the surveillance state.

Will she even say it to him?

Labour MPs say this stuff from time to time to get a cheer, but they simply aren't standing up in the commons saying to the government: "This is wrong and we shouldn't be doing this shit to a vulnerable minority."

Until they do, properly, all of them are complicit.

That's the same Professor Jacob George of the MHRA who had to be recused from involvement in the puberty blockers trial because of social media posts that exposed his hateful bias against trans people.

What matters most about your interests is that they make your autistic self happy.

Whether other people find them productive is irrelevant.

You don't have to produce anything.

You're not a machine.

Some may like, others may not.

Your interests are for you.

Do what makes you happy.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

🌻"The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Of those who voted Labour in 2024, just 37% would vote Labour again, 25% would now vote Green. The Greens' appeal is broader than white collar workers. Those doing 'routine' jobs also vote Green in significant numbers."

EXCLUSIVE: EHRC IN QUESTION ⚠️

The UK’s human rights watchdog - the EHRC - is now under UN review, following a submission by the Lemkin Institute and the Trans Exile Network

This is about independence.
This is about standards.
This is about protection.

Under a Reform UK government, only British citizens will be able to vote. FARAGE: Letting non-British citizens vote in UK threatens democracy

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

"People want change"
5 days until voters decide the future of Gorton and Denton.
Two choices- a Green MP who'll fight for local communities, or an out of town extremist bussed in for a career opportunity.
Green is the only vote to stop Reform.

β€˜Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

This sort of thing is why people are understandably not coming to the US. I would be really surprised if the expected international crowds arrive for the World Cup, at least at the US venues. Maybe some diehard fans will come. But the risk is just too great.

Why do they always write headlines like these, like there is no existing drug problem in playgrounds?
The problem is there now and it exists because drugs are illegal. Because of this, violent gangs thrive and the drugs they sell are totally unregulated

The first constituency poll in Gorton and Denton is out.

It shows the Green Party is ahead.

But it also shows a race against time to reach undecided voters...
