It is not normal to be best friends with a pedophile for decades unless you are getting something out of that relationship.

And one thing everyone knows about Donald Trump is that he is transactional.

Obsessive โ€˜gender criticalโ€™ transphobic ex-BBC journalist Cath Leng, goes running to obsessive transphobic ex-DM journalist, Sanchez Manning, now working at obsessive trans-hostile newspaper, The Times, to get her soft-focus closeup and โ€˜woe is me, I woz silencedโ€™ propaganda piece! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Can we stop this โ€œparents know bestโ€ not always - LGBTQ people have to find community and find their own way because usually their parents know jack shit about being LGBTQ and thatโ€™s just facts!

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.

In America, people being sick makes other people very wealthy

Same goes with crime and incarceration

It's a truly abhorrent system

Capitalism says productivity is the most important metric in determining value

That you must โ€œearnโ€ everything, even food, housing and healthcare.

How do you earn it? By working until you die.

It teaches people to see children, the elderly & disabled as expendable.

It enriches the wealthy only

'Three-quarters of people support a wealth tax โ€“ yet none of the establishment parties will touch it. So parts of the media close ranks when the vast wealth of their owners and the policies of their friends in Westminster come under threat.'

The thing about Mamdani is that heโ€™s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, heโ€™s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me itโ€™s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

So we can have food, or we can have healthcare, but we can't have both, while billionaires become trillionaires.

Two tweets by Keir Starmer, one saying:
Real patriotism means building a country where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.

We choose hope over fear, and renewal over decline.

The other saying:
Iโ€™m focused on real, workable solutions to tackle illegal immigration. Not gimmicks.

Returning people with no right to be here, seizing hundreds of boats and working with international partners to smash the gangs.

That's how we are securing our borders.

The day before we found out from the President himself that actually political violence is unacceptable the Supreme Court said itโ€™s legal for masked men to bust your car window and snatch you away from your family for having the wrong skin color.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

a lot of people on the right are going to be pretending to be concerned about guns and political violence today. as it happens, this was just published today about how the present administration is handling gun violence in DC during a hostile occupation it claims it is doing for "safety" reasons

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Disabled people who canโ€™t work should get more than the minimum wage in benefits.

This should not be a controversial thing to say, especially when being disabled costs more than ยฃ1000 extra per month on average.

You cannot โ€œincentiviseโ€ work for those unable to work.

I have a purity test: Do you believe in universal human rights?

If you do, we can talk, we can figure shit out, if you're a politician then maybe I'll vote for you.

If you don't? We're done. & I'm sure as shit not gonna vote for you & don't gaf what you think.

Human rights aren't negotiable.
