A movie about black female rage and revenge?!?!?! I am literally already in the theater

So, if I understand it correctly, according to the US supreme court, the president can murder people at will and face no consequences, but playing with tariffs is a bridge too far

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I had to sleep in the bed I was raped in for another two years, getting dressed in the mirror I looked into as I was being raped, getting showered in the shower I sobbed in after I was raped.

Most of us don't get to suddenly get some kind of distance from these violent acts. We have to live in it.

i sleep in my rape bed i shower in my rape shower i’m typing this on my rape couch, it’s a normal thing that’s happened to me and most of my friends, it’s a part of life

you can call survivors liars and professional victims and sexually harass them for talking about their experiences and not get as much smoke as i do for talking about rape like the fallout of it is just a normal part of my day in an open, honest, and funny way

i am not normalizing rape culture but i am normalizing talking about rape like it’s a horrible thing normal people deal with, and honestly that makes people madder than normalizing rape culture

Palantir UK chief walks away from Gaza genocide questions Louis Mosley wouldn't say if Israel has battle-tested the technology he's just sold Britain’s military. Neither did the MoD.

"Palantir signed a three-year Ministry of Defence contract worth £240m to 'modernise UK defence.'"

"[C]oncerns that Peter Mandelson, friend of notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, helped to broker the deal."

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

We are freezing and suffering from hunger in Gaza. A kilo of flour costs $10, and we cannot afford even the most basic necessities.
My father is very sick and needs urgent treatment, and we have no money for medicine or food.

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

I see two things in Gorton and Denton: palpable frustration and the need for wise voting to stop Reform | Polly Toynbee After speaking to locals, I still can’t predict the result, but a big, combined effort will be needed. Without a united front the left may splinter and lose, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

The betting has the Greens at 1/2 and Labour at 5/1. If you actually want to keep Reform out, rather than making a rhetorical point, you can only rationally argue for Labour to step aside.

Britain’s Labour government feels the heat over Palantir contracts The U.S. data company is taking fresh flak in the U.K. — as the country’s reliance on U.S. tech firms shoots up the political agenda.

We need to get out of the Palantir contracts now. But let’s look deeper. All the tech trade deals which Mandelson crafted need to be ripped up. They’re not in our interest, they just deepen our dependence on Trump, as my colleague explains in here 👇

A traditional, lavish Arabic Iftar table overflowing with various dishes, pastries, sweets, soup, and dates, reflecting abundance and festive food variety during Ramadan.

My son, Ibrahim, in Gaza sitting on the ground inside a tent, with a small plate of thyme (za'atar), three dates, and a piece of dry bread, reaching out innocently to eat his meager meal amidst displacement.

While Arab tables are laden with delicious foods,this is how we prepare for our fast&breaking of the fast(apiece of dry bread&thyme

THE ONLY PARTY I WOULD TRUST AS OTHERS HAVE DONE US DIRTY, MISLED US, DISGRACED US.

I can't explain to you all - in 2026 - how we need you allies to show TF up.

I'm not as overtly "politically", nor chronically online as I once was. But I request you all oppose fascism.

It's here

Check in on us

Wonderful news.

Congratulations Aasiya and the Leicester team! 💚🎉

Next stop: Gorton and Denton! 🚀

She’s so lovely 🤩

I was beyond appalled by Bridget Phillipson's recent New Statesman profile. She is Women and Equalities Minister, she knows what is happening to trans people and yet chose for expediency to join with the press, the fascists and the billionaires in a naked attack on a profoundly minoritised group.

I'm not a historian. But I can think of no precedent in modern Britain for what is being done to trans people. The media, public institutions, Government and (too often) the judiciary are combining to attack or exclude a marginalized group and its allies - with really no significant demurral.

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

but Kier Starmer famously cares about protecting children...

at some point we're probably going to need to have a reckoning with the fact that for huge swathes of the British establishment having been a supporter of the Labour Party between 2015 and 2019 is a crime so heinous that no punishment is disproportionate

This is truly fucking sickening.

And one of the main reasons I have come to loathe Starmer is is quiet walking back of the party's commitment to Leveson 2.0

Utterly disgraceful.

Everyone named as a person of interest in the Leveson Enquiry should still be in prison with no hope of getting out.
