If we could just take a fucking breath and admit "our kids are people, we don't get to decide who they are," and stop using "BUT THE CHILDREN" as a reason to attack trans people, and autistic people, and whoever else we've decided not to like, that would be cool.

The govt says it’s taxing the super-rich… but it doesn’t seem to know what that means.
Last week the Chancellor was asked about her Budget's impact on the richest 1%, she said they only analyse impact by deciles (10% slices of the pop).
🧵Here's why that's a BIG problem... 1/9

Hey Wes, I can save you the trouble. The reason a lot of people are struggling with their mental health in the UK is it fucking sucks here. Aside from usual late-stage capitalism stuff, everything that could be cool about living here has been systematically made worse by people like you, you cunt.

I think Labour’s problem is that, as power has shifted to technocrats over recent decades, its ambitions have shrunk to chasing populist policies shaped by an algorithmically skewed version of public opinion, one amplified by rage-bait rather than grounded in reality.

there's a whole cottage industry of fear cultivation around AI risk - but more of it centered around "what AI could do if it becomes advanced enough" rather than "what specific oligarchs could do if their AI is even marginally cheaper than their current imperialist tactics"
Artificial intelligence has long threatened to transform elections around the world. Now there is evidence from at least 50 countries that it already has. Most of it is misleading voters and discrediting the democratic process.

Anyone who is fine with Palestine Action being classified a terrorist org is revealing a lot about themselves right now. This is Farageist politics being normalised at the mainstream level.
Note all the supposed "liberals" with nothing to say about Palestine Action being banned.
Nothing to say about a direct action movement being legally classified in the same box as ISIS.
Pathetic. Embarrassing.
These charlatans will help pave the way for fascism in this country
