Waiting for this news for a while now. RIP to a seemingly lovely man who brilliantly played an iconic character that defined the meaning of first love for a whole generation of young people. Thinking of his family as they say goodbye.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Says the gazillionaire who loves Britain so much he became tax resident in Monaco so he didn't have to contribute to Britain's resources. Physician, heal thyself.

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

Happy abseiling lesbians day to all who celebrate!!!

If you care about Don Lemon, don't forgot Mario Guevara (reporter who was filming police at a No Kings rally in June) was targeted for his journalistic activity; detained for 112 days; and deported. He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

The cognitive dissonance for people who directly worked on buffer zone laws but now share a transphobic belief system with people like KJK must be dizzying.

With more material from the Epstein files released today, I feel compelled to remind us that NI had its own version. It was called Kincora Boys Home and there are powerful ppl walking around today who are very glad that email didn't exist when they were abusing children and having it covered up. 💔

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

I am baffled by this. You could pedestrianise it with a bollard at each end. Make it a wee retractable one if deliveries need in. How is this hard?!

A very good day indeed, a day of hope, for the trans community. Special admiration for the labour of @kateosbornemp.bsky.social

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

While we're grateful to have this murmuration, we came so close to losing it, & the site remains unprotected in the Local Development Plan. In coming months there'll be a consultation on designating new Sites of Local Nature Conservation Importance, so be sure to respond & protect places like this!

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Rights of Trans Children in Scotland. In: The International Journal of Children's Rights. Authors: Cal Horton and Ruth Pearce. Abstract. In January 2024, Scotland incorporated the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) into domestic law, strengthening commitments to child rights. Trans children are vulnerable to a wide range of rights violations in systems and institutions impacted by ignorance, pathologisation or prejudice. This article outlines trans children’s rights under the CRC, drawing attention to implications for organisations working with trans children across Scotland and beyond. It applies CRC rights to key policy arenas, including Scotland’s failed gender recognition reform, trans children’s healthcare, and segregation policies introduced in 2025, highlighting areas of recognised or potential rights violations. The article then examines the processes that can enable rights-based policy and practice for trans children. This can include monitoring and recording trans children’s rights violations, and efforts to enhance child participation and child accountability. The article emphasises the importance of targeted action to uphold trans children’s rights under the crc. Institutions need to critically appraise current approaches, protecting trans children’s rights and ensuring compatibility with CRC obligations. Keywords: children; transgender; lgbt; youth; rights; crc; participation; accountability; ethics.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Thirty six former RUC/PSNI officers now working for legacy body Controversial legacy body opposed by many nationalists

This is the anatomy of a state cover-up of 1000's of killings in N. Ireland. This rancid body is an interface to deny justice, access to courts and independent & fair investigation. RUC / PSNI were participants in conflict & should have no further role. The body should be collapsed immediately.
