Welcome to Canadian politics dawg

straightforwardly, unambiguously evil shit

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

‘Rising anti-trans hatred’ in the UK creating ‘hostile environment’, report suggests 99 per cent of trans people say media coverage of issue has harmed their mental health

The story has been picked up by mainstream press.

Great work by @transactualuk.bsky.social

ive been in tears over this since i woke up

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

one example of leftist perspectives that are completely absent from the Opinion Editorials of conservative publications such as the NYT & Wapo.

Since they are happy to publish pieces warmongering for far right foreign & domestic policy, then they should also publish leftist pieces such as this.

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

The original crusades were about as stupid as this yes. Also they completely failed repeatedly.

Can you tell me for a fact that the soldiers involved in blowing up elementary schools and children's hospitals in Iran were destitute racialized 17 year olds?

Does poverty and destitution excuse accepting ICE's signing bonus or denying healthcare claims at insurance companies?

Hmmm perhaps I should look into why that is

there's a youtube version too if you like that kind of thing bsky.app/profile/kaya...

Temporarily embarrassed commentators

I love being ruled by people who are addicted to killing and ChatGPT in equal measure

karl marx's criticism of social unfreedoms obfuscated behind formal political and marketplace freedoms continues to be the most effective criticism of liberalism and its failures in history tbh. history will only see the nytimes cheerleading for war in west asia, as it remembers w/ iraq

Check out some good history talkin!

as a serious journalist (Times, Slate, Bioligical Woman's Weekly, Der Sturmer) I am dismayed the left can't get their tiny heads around simple ideas like my paper printing weekly opinion pieces explaining "why war is necessary" =/= being for the war

You guys do this thing regularly where you try to act like the ideological preferences of a paper have no relation to the types of opinion pieces that it chooses to publish, and it's just so insulting. You really think everyone else is an idiot, huh?

It's okay, you can tell yourself you had no choice and I'd do the same in your shoes. No one has morals, principles, or humanity. You simply must lick the boot.

changing the puppy murder factory from within. yeah i still murder puppies all day but i shake my head the whole time

I love it when I enlist as a troop and get to kill bad guys but I hate it when the bad guys also kill me what the hell?

When trans people were desperately trying to tell us that the fascism & violence that is forced on them is indicative of the fascism & violence that will be forced on all of us, media figures & liberal politicians were bending to the will of fascists & fucking bickering about "fairness in sports".

It's interesting how 'doing horrible things for personal gain' is generally agreed upon by everyone to be bad, but this consensus totally vanishes when those horrible things are done in service of empire.

no sorry we’re not doing this anymore. not for a volunteer army committing atrocities

There are people who put what is right before their own material gain every day, and we can increase that number. If 'we can be better than this and must expect better of each other' is hopelessly nihilistic to you, I truly don't know what to say to you. Go with god.

[1930s bluesky voice] do NOT tell hard-working journalists at Der Stürmer that they should quit their jobs. they're just making puzzles and word games. harassment won't accomplish anything.
