Celebrating here in Australia as Labor romp to power and the Opposition leader loses his seat. Aww what a shame (not).

"a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon...an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister...an increasing number of migrant children are making immigration court appearances without the assistance of attorneys, which they say will lead to more children getting deported."

Thank you Molly for this- my brain finds it hard to think about trading in imaginary tokens but I know how important it is to understand the deceit and corruption in pursuit of money that’s at the heart of Trump’s attack on democracy.

When Kemi Badenock is crowing with happiness over a @supremecourt.uk ruling, you can very accurately colour-code its politics. A sad day for the trans community. Solidarity.

The abuse of human rights is horrendous. I hope somehow that the deportees get access to proper justice processes.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

What the ECHR stands for and what the UK will lose if certain politicians get their way (borrowed from a post on the "other side" re DP World, owners of P&O, who sacked all of their ferry staff by text & brought in cheap workers who are never allowed off the ferries they work on).
