This mentality is why we end up with politicians & journalists only focused on their own egos and careers, rather than their responsibilities to the electorate and readership.

All only seeking their own ends.

Quite funny watching Musks influence implode…

Need to get better at using this app - but still so torn between the two, and feel a bit concerned re the limitations upon Arabic speakers and subsequent account closures of Palestinian accounts.

Has this issue improved?
I definitely don’t want to be part of an app that is even less diverse & fair

Here's what's revealed in Al Jazeera's damning new documentary into Israel's war crimes Israel using Palestinians as human shields, rape, glorification of war crimes, & snipers targeting children: the new Al Jazeera documentary

ICC, ICJ, UN experts, human rights groups, doctors, aid groups - they're all right about Israel's genocide in Gaza.

If you have any doubts, watch Al Jazeera's documentary.

The genocide has exposed the evil at the heart of the US-Israel-UK axis.

We’d rather not be assaulted, abused and at risk of harm in the first place - let alone the fact that these crimes are rarely successfully charged and convicted, further empowering abusers and making victims, and future victims, more unsafe.
We need a national conversation on misogyny & violence

Do you think that the legal framework and criminalisation of sexual assault, violence and abuse has reduced the occurrence?

Or do we think that the failure to find the solution to misogyny, address the root cause, simply depending on the justice system, has made it worse?

Hearing an Israeli genocide scholar speak recently, Omer Bartov, talk of how not only are Palestinians dehumanised, but the very act of occupying dehumanises the occupier, makes me see how every time a person turns away from these horrors, they lose a bit of their own humanity

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

Citizenship and right to operate/employ. They’re simply extracting value from society for their own gain, time for them to pay their dues

Instead of having a national debate on whether we should strip benefits from those not in work, I propose we debate whether we should strip citizenship from those who don't pay their taxes πŸ‘€

Criminalisation of sex offences and abuse of women and girls has hardly reduced said abuses, if anything you could argue it’s fostered an increase as a result of so many legitimate cases going unheard and abusers walking free, assaults going undeterred. We need education in schools, stop misogyny

Having had my first spiking incident a few months ago, I have to admit, it’s a real fear now for public spaces, never felt so powerless and vulnerable as I did afterwards. But I can’t help but feel it’s too hard to recognise and prove at the time, that criminalisation isn’t a solution, education is

This is progress.

Once you are in poverty, unless you’re able to access some sort of consolidation loan to manage the costs of getting back on your feet, you simply live under a β€˜poverty tax’

A lifeline is hardly a bad thing - and could be the difference between being homeless and contributing

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

King Charles inherited Β£650m tax free, gets Β£125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth Β£22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being β€œliberal” and β€œleft wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism.

Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary…
