If your winning issue is trans women in sports, and you're struggling to uncover trans women in any league that anybody has ever heard of, then how do you keep trans athletes at the top of people's minds? Answer: You invent them. defector.com/the-right-ha...

The Right Has Created Their Perfect Trans Athlete | Defector

A lot of people in and around the WNBA are talking about trans women. In the aftermath of Indiana Fever role player Sophie Cunningham’s negative comments about trans people playing sports in an ESPN…

Seems @bsky.app deleted my post about Rod Liddle, saying it breached community guidelines, but not explaining how. You've got mail, lads - if you're thinking of going in to bat for a proven domestic abuser, misogynist and racist, you might want to think again.

True, but no Republican has any interest in paying for any of those things.

The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

Blir sossarnas Biden-år. Fyra år av ingenting, inga reformer, ingen kursändring, ingen ekonomisk förändring. Sen kommer Tidö2 bli Trump2. En fascistisk avveckling inifrån de politiska institutionerna och hårdare repression. Oikos och Tidös kravlista skiljer ju sig inte från Heritage Project 2025.

Jag är mest orolig för vad som händer efter 4 år med S, utan mer genomgripande sociala reformer, utan en mer offensiv klimatpolitik och med fulla lador som högern kommer lova bort till skattesänkningar för it-miljardärer.

It's also shite.

Bluesky is not a "liberal bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where Nazis get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.

We too easily skipped over the part of the Ceuta story where thousands of young people were manipulated into risking or losing their lives for a lie; to orchestrate images that then led the news agenda for the weekend, and kneejerk reactions from EU Govs And the Irish failures that let this happen

If you were confused about what happened in Ceuta last week read this piece by @lizcarolan.com who's looking at how it blew up online and who's behind it... www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Senior member of the Sweden Democrats (whose roots are in neo-Nazism) has called a political editor and the leader of the opposition "quislings" and the whole country is getting its knickers in a twist. The right and far-right are set to lose the upcoming election, so Nazis gonna Nazi.

Att kalla en journalist för quisling när man själv är nazist är såklart helt sjukt men proportionerna i hur upprörd man är över det jämfört med att skicka barn i fängelse och utvisa bebisar är lite talande.

I ha e had some of my oldest and closest friends - in some cases going back 50 years - in Sweden for the last few days visiting me and my family, and as always they have left me feeling like the luckiest man alive. Sore from laughing and worn out, but blessed beyond belief by this life.

That is an excellent observation. Perhaps women should start wearing recording devices as a matter of course. Ones capable of recording and live streaming at the same time - for those extra special men we meet along life's path.

TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 2d ago

If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

The Irish Times view on Michael Fingleton: nobody shouted stop

I've just added another 25 paintings to the print shop I'm trying out after a year of no income, which brings the total number of paintings there now to 50. I'm not yet committed to it, but if it goes well I will add more paintings. #SpéirGhorm fineartamerica.com/profiles/4-l...

I'm approaching the anniversary of the last time I received any kind of income. Having to cancel my annual sale of original paintings and close my print shop, it's been not great for an unpaid carer. So over the next couple of weeks you'll see me push unsold paintings and try out some print options.

Jag vet inte om nån minns järnrörsskandalen? SD växte efter den. Eller avslöjandet av 200 nazister på SD:s listor i förra valet? SD växte efter det. Fascistsympatisörer är inte ovetande om fascisters fascism. De dras till den.

Elisabeth Lindberg@elisabethlindberg.bsky.social · yesterday

Apropå Jomshofs påhopp. Om SD fungerar som Reform (verkar ej otroligt) kan skandaler och kaos betyda mer engagemang från de egna sympatisörerna. Allt är precis tvärtom mot etablerade partier.
