The damage Sonia Sodha has done by spewing hate from the Observer is incalculable. I feel it is worse than the Sun and Mail because she radicalised Observer readers who consider themselves liberal and gave them permission to be openly bigoted.

If you take nonviolent direct action, Labour will brand you a terrorist.

If you riot, and try to burn buildings down, Labour will listen to your legitimate concerns.

Take note, comrades

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

The Times headline: Transgender teenager’s German chess triumph prompts call for ban

IT’S FUCKING CHESS

What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

If you care about making buses in Glasgow better take 5 minutes to tell SPT you STRONGLY AGREE with all of their priorities for franchising.

There's a risk these will be watered down if the response isn't clear and overwhelming.

Yes, mistakes were made: repeatedly delaying the Bill and indulging transphobic backbenchers, after a clear promise to act as long ago as the 2016 election, allowed anti-trans prejudice to grow and fester.

If they'd legislated quickly, the sky would not have fallen in, and we'd all have moved on.
