every time you see a bigoted rage bait piece in the guardian or wherever else (you shouldn't, don't read the guardian. they are bigoted shitheads.) how about instead of sharing that piece you share some cool work by trans people.
music, art, writing, poetry or anything! just trans.

please for the love of fuck can you all understand they are doing this on purpose because outrage generates more clicks than agreement SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SHARING IT.
STOP IT.

The Americanisation of Britain's political debate aided & abetted by huge amounts of US RW & climate change deniers cash is a huge issue. There is foreign interference in our politics & it is not only coming from Russia!!
The ‘great feminisation’ narrative—the idea that the increased presence of women in high-status jobs will destroy our institutions—could sadly be on its way to the UK, writes @polphilpod.bsky.social.
Has ‘the great feminisation’ theory arrived in the UK?
Conservatives are panicking that working women have ruined everything

Trump is arresting judges he does not like and is deporting US citizens to a gulag in El Salvador without due process. This is the end of American democracy if we do not stop him.

The Lib Dems suggested tripling the Digital Services Tax, which US Companies like Amazon, Apple and Google pay.
It is the only tax they pay in the UK, and it is almost entirely on US companies.
It's a great idea, and targeted against Donald Trump's biggest supporters.

So Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has finally spelled out the quiet part in neon letters for those who hadn’t got it yet.
This political moment isn’t about limiting protection to “genuine” refugees. It is about slamming the UK shut to people fleeing danger.
There’s no pretending you didn’t know.

My parents have almost finished paying off the mortgage on their 4 bed and it's £420 a month. A single room in a shared house on the same street is going for £750 a month.

This should beggar belief, but it’s just par for the course. The course being that enshittification of the health service for private profit
As Wes Streeting trumpets the role of the private sector in “saving the NHS”, it’s worth remembering what happened the only time a whole NHS hospital was handed to the private sector to run.
The care failings - gaining the worst CQC rating ever - were *chilling* (& barely reported at the time):
