This is one of the reasons we should be *very* wary of things like digital ID, extended facial recognition and AI policing. These are tools we should not put in the hands of fascists.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

The UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced.

Vaccine disinformation is a worldwide pandemic that is killing us.

This is very useful I’m sure and I am 100% guilty of this but counterpoint we really, really, really need to stop adapting ourselves, our art, our music, our lives to fit what tech companies have arbitrarily decided this month
Every single artist that posts on BlueSky should have this saved to their computer because so many of you are posting character torsos all day.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder.

Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD."

People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

UK media used "trans woman" for decades, but now claims an 8 word phrase is "clearer?" 🐂💩.

See also terms used for immigrants.

Trump-friendly US media use this tactic to legitimise persecution of people the Administration targets.

UK media dehumanising of trans people has the same goal.
The ferocity with which the vile phrase “a biological male who identifies as a woman” is being embedded across multiple media in Britain is horrifying. It shows how quickly support for eliminationist attacks against trans and gender diverse people is being solidified
