I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".

It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".

The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

I am curious as to who the "stakeholders" are who are preventing the UK government from acting against a white supremacist pornographer?

Why does this government bow down to all the wrong people 🤬

I don’t think all conservatives are racists but the ones that aren’t are very quiet and therefore effectively pro-racist

At what point do Starmer, the Tory advisors he's surrounded himself with, and his cabinet of cowards look at the polls and realise that keeping Daily Mail readers' obsessions and talking points in the headlines every day has been a fucking disaster?

Simply beautiful ❤️

UK charities condemn ‘immoral’ plans to force asylum seekers to volunteer Making volunteering compulsory for refugees slammed as exploitative, bureaucratic and un-British

A key point about "volunteering" is that it should be "voluntary". By forcing migrants to volunteer this government not only treats us as if we are a free resource, but also ignores everything else we go through. This policy is dehumanising and exploitative.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

When wearing a poppy is enforced, it stops being an act of remembrance and becomes about compliance. Conservatives love that, of course, because they are all about forcing compliance. Everyone else should be supporting the ability to make a choice.

Too much to ask that any of the party leaders should even MENTION this, let alone express their disgust 😭

They certainly need to do it without the ludicrous mark-up the Home Office currently imposes. Something like 10x the actual cost.

Stop conflating the Jewish people with Israel's genocide.

Those who present opposition to Israeli war crimes as attacks on the Jewish people aren't just deeply cynical - they are dangerously irresponsible.

“We aren’t racists”, cry the party who not only invited Lucy Connolly, convicted for inciting racially motivated violence, to its conference, but interviewed her on stage, chat show style, as if she was the most heroic freedom fighter the world has ever seen.

Sod off, racists.

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting

Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

I have not heard anything at all from government ministers nor the opposition nor many media outlets about the dangers of this epidemic of sweeping casual racism. It is sometimes seen as comical - as with Rupert Lowe and the rowers - but it is dangerous and dehumanising

NFFC are magic 👍

Went to see @soozuk.bsky.social #EdinburghFestival show ‘Sooz Kempner Is Ugly’ yesterday - wow! 🌪️ Tour de force (a phrase which always makes me think of Frances De La Tour from Rising Damp lol). Funking BRILLIANT ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍. Then got to see her (and talented boyfriend @mbalazo.bsky.social) AGAIN later😊

Authors and Judges Withdraw From Polari Prize After Transphobic Author Nominated - Star Observer More than a dozen authors have withdrawn their books from consideration for the Polari Prize after a transphobic author was nominated.

Women who support trans rights may as well be “ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her.”

It's the British media landscape in a nutshell. Claiming "balanced reporting" these willful idiots have gleefully perpetuated about every harmful right-wing myth short of bald faced race science and straight up climate change denial.

Hans: Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury. Mass starvation is the story. Not Glastonbury. IOF members admitting to intentionally shooting civilians that pose no risk seeking aid is the story. Not Glastonbury. Addictive opiods in bags of flour to a starved population is the story. Not Glastonbury. Genocide is the story. Not Glastonbury. Palestine is the story. Not Glastonbury.

Hans Zimmer speaks out against the genocide of Palestinians

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

This just completely sums up the "debate". Three fucking losers Vs 10,000 people, yet the losers manage to control the media and the courts

Indeed. This isn't about protecting women. it's about asserting inviolable essences and denying human complexity. It's about dehumanising identified minorities and treating them as threats and outsiders to make the 95% feel better about themselves, more powerful, insiders. We know where this ends.

#RIP Clem Burke - my first live gig was Blondie when they toured this album. He was mesmerizing... Which is saying something when Debbie Harry was standing in front of him😍

The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it
