So much gross bigotry, transphobia in this story, it's disgusting. I hate this country so much right now.

This comment from the judge stuck out, not just for being transphobic but i would also argue homophobic as well, suggesting that a man can't be straight if he's attracted to a trans woman.

Let's be clear: this is the result of deliberate political choices to make accessing trans healthcare substantially impossible. It's what Streeting and his ilk want.

A ctrl+f and replace Hamas with Israel would fix that nyt editorial right up.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Let that sink in

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

Writing another self interested post about Palestine would probably do it.

this is crude to say but starmer could goose step out on stage, throw a nazi salute & order every immigrant rounded up into camps, & it wouldn't convince a single fascist to vote for him, because what they want isn't rational. a far-right party would simply say "we'll do that but more & faster"

You are an evil person.

That's not true and deep down somewhere inside, you know it.

You want to believe the Israeli propaganda because admitting the truth would mess you up.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

Don't know whose fault this is, but this mess has probably killed Yourparty before it even started.

It's bad enough that some of the MPs involved appear to be transphobes and landlords.

I can see Greens picking up a lot more members now, including me.

I think the neoliberals of the peak neoliberalism ascendant era actually had a story in their heads, they could explain to you why this was smart (which doesn't mean they were correct). A generation later, you can't get an explanation out of Rachel Reeves, she's just performing holy incantations

I don't think it's weird for someone to code switch in an online space like discord and when speaking with a single close friend/lover. Particularly in the context of serious and life changing moment.

I just think Patel has no idea what he is talking about but is trying to sound like he is with nonsense jargon.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"

So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.

Agree with much of what you are saying. All i will say is the motives and politics of the shooter still isn't clear yet. It's possible he doesn't have any particular ideology and just wanted to shoot someone famous for the "lols".

"[McSweeney's] team trawled through Facebook groups looking for connections between Left-wingers and anti-Semitic content that had been shared online. [...] the blue print for this campaign was a paper called 'Labour for the Country', which McSweeney wrote with the help of Mandelson."

watching UK mainstream media yammer incessantly about "threats to free speech" because an influencer in america got shot with not a single word about the !!!NINE HUNDRED ARRESTED PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTERS!!! and I don't even have an adequate metaphor for how fucking pathetically cynical it all is

Or, hear me out: Does it maybe demonstrate that the priorities of whoever is currently sitting on the throne in Washington become the priorities of the white-people world

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

This is what is driving me nuts about it.

I'm not glad he's dead or anything but the stark hypocrisy at work here is disgusting.

What if the shooter was a groyper or some other form of neo nazi though?

if uk politicians believed that "there's no justification for political violence" and "we muse all be free to debate openly and freely without fear" they wouldn't be validating the "flag force" that try to burn down hotels, while taking away people's rights who protest peacefully
