Don’t mourn, organise. Not dead yet.
REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.
This is a horror and our country has disgraced itself. But laws change and in the meantime, no toilet narcs + malicious compliance time.

My constituency Reform MS. While he’s doing stuff like this, other parties elected here under the d’Honte system have to shoulder his work as well as theirs. It’s a crappy system.

From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds
The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

People who think Bluesky is full of namby pamby right-onery should really see it on a day when someone truly unpleasant has kicked the bucket. It's bracing and often very, very funny.
more genuinely I do think actually being mean after someone awful dies is a social good, it reminds the living that you might not get karmic punishment in this life or the next, but that people will simply despise you and laugh at you and then forget you

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

🚨 Democrats pass bill ending child marriage in Oklahoma. 36 Republicans voted no. Source: legiscan.com/OK/rollcall/... The fact it needed to have a vote for this and some still voted no is the bigger story. All 36 of these people should have their hard drives checked immediately. WTF 😡
Apparently, the answer to "Have we learned anything from the Heritage Foundation immediately pivoting to attacking the very concept of women's sports after their successful push to discriminate against trans women athletes?" is "Hahahaha, FUCK no".

New YouGov polling reveals 74% of Brits think the USA under Trump has become more of a force for bad in the world than good. The world is realigning. The UK can't afford to stand alone. Closer ties with our European allies are no longer optional, but essential.

Journalists like @libbybrooks.bsky.social turn a blind eye to this aspect of the "gender critical feminist" movement. JK Rowling has repeatedly voiced support for Keen, and after what happened in Glasgow this weekend, it's long past due journalists were honest about what is really going on. Step up.
Esheru@esherukweku.bsky.social · last wk.Far-right agitator Kellie-Jay Keen deliberately disrupting two Muslim men, as they prayed in a corner of Hyde Park. When government, politicians, media and pundits stay silent about this, they’re condoning it. As this would never be allowed, had these been Jewish worshippers
Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.
For all their online noise, Reform UK’s Senedd presence remains as thin and insubstantial as a fart in the wind, little more than an outrage roadshow, treating serious debate like an unwanted interruption to performative posing ✍️Pen Rhyddid wp.me/p8Mk4U-1pGG
Berlin Pride. THAT’s why Pride matters. That’s why we ‘go on about being gay’ all the time. That’s why we’ll keep talking about it. It’s not fixed yet.
Literally HOW can people still use X?? Frogs are being boiled, this is so so wrong. You should not swimming in this sewer, no matter how strong you think your mind is, it’s not good for you or anyone else.

If your MP is still on Twitter, ask them why they are supporting a platform whose iwner endorses calls to murder them and their colleagues. If they’re a Minister and say “policy” point out not all Gov depts still on it. It’s their choice.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2w agoHere is a call for the murder of Home Office ministers + officials by the X user endorsed by the site owner Elon Musk.
Farage, tetchy and dismissive… “If that’s the worst thing I’ve done in life - not filling in a form - I’d say that’s not too bad.” Oh but it’s v much not the worst thing, is it? You’re a racist crook. You’ve done such damage to our country to please your billionaire funders, you should be in prison.
Phil Brickell MP@philbrickellmp.bsky.social · 2w agoFarage struts around lecturing us all about supposed establishment stitch-ups and dodgy elites. But look at what's actually behind him: a cabal of convicted fraudsters, mystery millionaires and offshore fixers - while Farage asks for your vote and hides who's pulling the strings.
Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
jesus. when pride got to trafalgar square today we had to walk through large steel posts which aren't usually there to enter. i said to a friend "i guess these are to stop someone driving a car into us". now i've just heard the news that someone drove a car into the berlin pride
