LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it.

That’s not “immigration enforcement.”
This government is out here punishing witnesses.

Fascism is HERE.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The UK Parliament must not allow the country to get involved in a war of choice.

Wake up and say no.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.

We must never forget the struggle that many in our society still face for acceptance, and continue to push for equality and rights for all.

Hilarious.

Also, read the judgement. Trans men are specifically excluded from using the women's.

Stop using trans men as a gotcha.

Someone on TikTok pointed out that Pedro Pascal’s two sentence Instagram comment got more press for trans rights than all trans people combined in the wake of this ruling- which is infuriating but also a reason for more cis people to speak out

I’ve been asked to contribute an essay to an upcoming anthology on breakdown and collapse, my focus will be on the UK’s 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports through the lens of societal and political implosion. Yay, I’m going to be published!

Despite continued membership in the ECHR, the Labour government has successfully deported over 24,000 individuals. This directly disproves the Badenoch's claim that the ECHR prevented deportations - yet another example of Tories' blatant shystering. #ukpolitics

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

If a GE were held tomorrow, these figures would see Reform on 244 seats and the Tories on 101 seats - enough to govern in coalition - and Labour reduced to just 187 seats.

Italy has fined Amazon $1.3bn for unfair business practices.

In the UK Amazon does not even pay the £3bn a year tax that it should.

It's time for us to fine and tax the hell out of Amazon.

Now we know who the inspiration for Voldemort was.

Majority of Britons would rather have the EU as a close trading partner than US With a protectionist President in the White House, it seems the British public would rather prefer closer trading ties with the EU.

The planting of fabricated stories on foreign media is a huge scandal in Israel. Meanwhile IPSO has just tickled the Jewish Chronicle (owner unknown) with a feather duster. What’s the point of the press regulator? My column www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

I am so deeply ashamed of the human race, particularly the ones who think it’s funny to pick on the vulnerable.

The world needs to move on from the cult of celebrity. Live your best lives and not vicariously through the prism of someone’s PR team.

Just a warning for trans people thinking of fleeing from the USA. The UK is rapidly becoming a hostile environment.

As the rights of one of the most marginalised and victimised groups in society are ripped up, as scared and vulnerable people fear what comes next, the Billionare Who Shall Not Be Named does this.

Watchdog raises concern over DWP plan to deduct benefit overpayments Committee says impact on poorest people of taking money directly from accounts has been understated

Watchdog raises concern over DWP plan to deduct benefit overpayments.

Govt wants 24/7 access to benefit claimants bank accounts, remove money without agreement or court order, right to appeal. Banks will charge fees.

People could be left without money to pay for essentials.

Thank you.
My trans daughter is now absolutely fearful for her future.
This is like living in Nazi Germany or Trump’s America.
Labour is no longer the party who the vulnerable can rely upon. Please continue to speak up, we depend on people like you.

Labour Minister Says Tories Should Apologise For Past Pro-Trans Women Stance Tory leader Kemi Badenoch welcomed the recent Supreme Court ruling as a "victory".

A race to the bottom of reaction as #transrights are ripped up by a billionaire funded campaign that has consistently stigmatised one of society's most marginalised groups. My sympathies are with #trans people at this time not those using them as a political football

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.

The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.
