The more they truly become pervert glasses the more there’s unfortunately gonna be a line out the door for them. And the people who are the implied object(s) will be people whom society has already agreed to largely not listen to, or care about their privacy & bodily autonomy😕
"what if anyone could go anywhere they wanted, can you imagine!" yeah it would be fucking class lmao
When Blair and his tech billionaires come with demands to pay workers less, the Labour government caves in 48 hours Workers rights are not rights at all unless applied to one and all. Pay all workers the same rate for the same job. Now.
this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for
Karina Lunai@karinalunai.bsky.social · 2mo agoWell said. It's also worth pointing out that even if we do miss the 2c target, hitting 2.1 is still better than 2.3. Climate tipping points are not all or nothing, there are multiple tipping points at different temperatures.
The Green Party want to end Rip Off Britain. This Thursday, vote for the party that wants to put wealth and power back into all our communities. Meltdown headlines from billionaire press this morning alone show what we're up against. Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk
This is all to quietly strip anonymity from the internet to have a chilling effect on politically inconvenient speech and to crack down on marginalized people by enabling potential "off the record" retaliation and to build the Thielian panopticon.

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.
Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com · 4mo agoThis is a breaking news story.
the fantasy that people will rise to the moment, the fantasy that people will change on their deathbeds, the fantasy that people secretly want to do good and are working on themselves when all evidence points otherwise, the fantasy that the state is anything other than this
The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.
My statement on what happened at Green conference. ✊✊ Justice for Palestine
If it’s not a regime change operation; if there is no intention to advance to a ground invasion; if the strategy is to provoke inter-ethnic uprisings and conflicts; if the plan is to smart bomb until there is none left, then switch to dumb bombs, then the practical objective is tacit: Genocide.
The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth. We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

The job of white nationalist ideology is twofold: - destroying or subjugating those deemed to be outside whiteness - eliminating any memory of or loyalty to any cultural value among those within the circle of whiteness that isn't white identitarianism.

land mines should be illegal worldwide forever. this is shameful
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 7mo agoFinland’s military will initiate the acquisition of anti-personnel land mines and start training staff, conscripts and reservists to use them later this year, it says.
Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.
JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
Maia@maiamindel.bsky.social · 8mo agoso this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?
The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says
The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

Like many others, I am disappointed and angry about the decision by @cyclinguk.bsky.social to change the eligibility criteria for Women in Cycling 2025 to exclude trans women. Trans women are women 🏳️⚧️ I have requested for my name and face to be removed. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/do-we-n...

Every announcement like this reads as reaffirming that he will *not* be prosecuted for allegedly sexually abusing young women and girls, which for me is, and will remain, the actual story.
Notice how quickly we've moved from deporting "illegals" to the idea of deporting any migrant whose face doesn't fit, irrespective of legal status. Next stop: some form of ostracisation for any person whose face doesn't fit, whether they were born here or not? We're deep in National Front territory
We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder. I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.
Jameel Jaffer@jameeljaffer.bsky.social · 10mo agoDon’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.
Fascism is thriving. Every politician, journalist, and influencer that talks about migrants as threats, Black folks as criminals, trans people as social contagions, etc is directly facilitating the social resentments that shape fascism. We need them to stop their destructive disinformation politics.
