Its difficult to think of an industry more unworthy of pity.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

This is a crucial point

And why the β€˜stay on X/Twitter so you don’t cede the public square’ is such a nonsense argument

It isn’t Hyde Park, it’s a billionaire controlled algorithm *designed* to spread far right ideologies

I wonder if this came about because of a pun about shell companies…

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me β€” an elected Member of Parliament β€” to be deported is telling.

No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.

Our media class is rotten to the core.

It's been blatantly obvious (to me at least) for 8 fucking years! They've literally been openly saying it, in writing, available to anyone who looks for 5-10 minutes. How is any of this new to them?!

Israel version of the peace plan.

Israeli terrorist forces will remain in Gaza, occupy half of it, and maintain the military siege on Gaza.

I hope everyone keeps records with timestamps, dates, secondary evidence etc that will be instrumental in bringing these shots to justice for corruption.

Sorry, can’t find the bow for my tiny violin anywhere. That said, I can’t find the violin either. Oh well.

That apology means absolutely fuckall. As per usual, white boy opens gob and shows true colours, then when his job (possibly) is in the line and he gets pushback galore, he β€˜apologises’ and blames it on his mental health. Just like that Tory woman who went to jail. Fire his ass.

I can only agree with Ian here… until the law/fines actually become painful for the rich, fines are just an inconvenience.

America! Your expats and your friends are *always* with you! Sending you love and courage and #NoKings solidarity and frog costumes from Melbourne, Australia. Make fascism history again!

The inflatable frog has gone global. Today’s #NoKings #NoTyrants rallies in Japan, Australia, Spain, and Germany.

Just like our Tories here in the UK. They’re all rapidly sliding right into the abyss of fascist and general asshole behaviour

Good. User feedback (especially repeatedly) does eventually get the issue resolved.

It's apparently perfectly fine for senior political journalists to call for the deportation of British Muslim politicians now, with zero consequences

Well quite. Some media find Reform incredibly interesting to write about, that doesn't necessarily translate into votes. Congrats to the Lib Dems for holding them off in various by-elections this week.

went to check in on this freak out of curiosity and, far from being a random, she's followed by lots of MPs current and former, journalists, think tankers, etc - once again! I feel like I'm losing my entire mind!

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

this is obviously appalling - and he should lose his job - but it's also really quite shocking; I first met Calgie when he was a baby reporter in his early twenties and sure, he was always a Tory, but he was....fine and normal? right-wing radicalisation is out of control in SW1

Another very clever decision to appeal by the Home Secretary

- she lost her appeal on the jurisdiction point (alternative remedy)
- looks like PA cross appealed and won on getting permission granted on further grounds
