The Atlantic piece on Stephen Miller is chilling because it’s deliberate. This isn’t chaos around Donald Trump, it’s intent. Fringe ideas laundered into policy. Immigration as invasion. Rights as conditional. Authoritarianism arrives quietly, then settles in. #trump #miller #fascism

Tommy Robinson outside the Iranian embassy isn’t solidarity, it’s ignorance. The uprising isn’t about erasing Islam. It’s about escaping a regime that fused religion with power. Many protesters are Muslim. They reject coercion, not faith. Using their courage to fuel hate is opportunism. #iran #idiot

Asylum costs about £5 to £6bn a year. Utilities and privatisation have drained £200bn. Forty times bigger. Migrants did not hike your bills or dump sewage in rivers. Water and energy companies did. Aim your anger at the real waste.

If only Reform, Tommy Robinson and his ilk focussed their attention to something like this, to bring tangible change. Imagine what 110k of people demanding the heads of the CEO’s of the public utilities would do.

He was high. He had a gun. He robbed a fast food joint. Those are facts. But serving life on a technicality under an IPP sentence? That’s not justice. That’s a system drunk on its own cruelty. Reform isn’t optional. It’s overdue. IPP #PrisonReform #JusticeMatters

Doctors may get student debt relief. Fine. But what about nurses? ODPs? Paramedics? It’s time we stopped feeding the Treasury and started demanding tax relief or debt forgiveness for all NHS staff. We hold the line too.

I would be ashamed not to stand up for trans folks, not just because there are trans folks I like and love, but because everyone should get to live with the same personal freedom and dignity I get simply for existing. Who are we if we do not wish for others every right and privilege we have.
Thank you for being a straight cis man with some amount of fame and platform who pushes back on that sort of thing. Marginalization usually only changes when people NOT in the marginalized group start to push back on the hate and move the Overton window.

Geoffrey Epstein took one look at all that missing evidence, the broken cameras, the sleeping guards, and thought, “You know what? Time to hang myself.”
