Nick Fuentes is a psychotic fascist who openly admires Hitler, denies the Holocaust, and says that rape is "so not a big deal." But you'd never know any of that by reading this simpering GQ profile, which treats him as a kind of edgy internet curiosity rather than a deranged Nazi.

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

This is a sad indictment of a nation very much in decline that sees monstering and scapegoating minorities as the solution to all their problems. As good people look the other way, too scared to say anything, Germany 1933 is happening all over again.

you all do realize that this doesn't make Biden look good, right?

like, we told him what Netanyahu was doing here, we told him to cut Israel off. but Biden still refused to budge on his ironclad support for Israel, and still gave them blank checks to run wild on Gaza.

If you’re looking to help rebuild Gaza a farmer and a civil engineer seems like a good person to help ❤️

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 10h

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

The EHRC code must be scrapped.

Our Head of Policy, Jess O'Thomson, says that in light of this significant intervention, the Code of Practice cannot be laid as drafted. The Minister must reject it.

Exclusion of trans people from services for their lived gender must be the exception, not the rule.

"This significant intervention from the Commissioner makes clear that the EHRC's new Code of Practice cannot be laid as drafted. The minister must reject it and insist the EHRC try again - making clear how to include trans people, not just exclude.

Exclusion of trans people from services for their lived gender, the letter makes clear, must be the exception - not the rule."

Yes this is correct. And the Bell case significantly weakened the Gillick Competency, which is a British legal standard for underage patients to manage their own health care decisions. And it was first established for, you guessed it, teens to get abortions without parental approval.

Sydney Bauer @sydney-bauer.com · 1d

ADF was basically behind the Keira Bell case and trans reporters were trying to note similarities between that case and how the group uses lawfare in the U.S. to attack trans rights.

Katelyn Boo-urns @katelynburns.com · 1d

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

She tries to swing it about to Momentum. Momentum WANTED to be elected. They were created to return Labour to progressive left wing values and did so openly. She is part of a quisling right wing insurgency that has illegally supplanted democracy.

10 yrs ago our, then tory, government issued a travel warning when north carolina implemented a bathroom ban.

that was a tory government.

now a labour government, under @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, are going to implement a bathroom ban to keep the far right christian group 'sex matters' happy.

Sure, it's the left that doesn't want electoral reform and not the entrenched holders of power and comfortable "centrists" and open right-wingers who benefit from the status quo

If we're bringing that up, Corbyn won 10.2 million votes, and Kier Sturmer's 2024 "landslide" was 9.7 million. The only reason they're in power right now is a Tory vote collapse.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Do you notice how the state basically cannot function any longer without using constant screaming all-channels terror and moral panics to force through deeply unpopular and immoral policies

flyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 12h

The government continuing to incite fear and hatred against members of the public here, hand in hand with our horrible, poisonous media outlets, both to evade responsibility for their own conduct and to fill space that might otherwise be stories about how unpopular they are and how much they suck.

National politics in Britain is based on the idea that there are important people who matter and scum people who don’t matter at all, so naturally it is easy to transfer that to international matters.

David Timoney @fromarsetoelbow.bsky.social · 11h

Did a rough count of the column inches devoted at the front of today's Guardian to Israeli vs Palestinian hostages. It's 3:1. The ratio of those released is 1:10 (20 vs 2,000), which means that each Israeli hostage received roughly 30 times as much regard as each Palestinian.
