GBeebies visiting really Brexity areas to find anyone who thinks it was a good idea. It's not going well.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

The normalisation of extremism – a warning

The ‘f’ word may be thrown around too easily – some on the right argue that – but parallels between the 1920s/1930s and now are startling if you think about it.

With all that happening around us, the peace in the forests - especially on a foggy day - can calm us down and heal us.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

No notes.
Why the fuck do we need a "theory of what happened"? A fucking Nazi did a Nazi salute due to being a fucking Nazi. The fuck is there to explain?

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

'Andrew Tate’s house was raided by armed police in relation to allegations of human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. Is it time for parliament to question Nigel Farage over his relationship with Tate?'

The Conservative party is now using the grooming gangs scandal to raise money for itself.

A reminder that Kemi Badenoch's spokesman admitted yesterday that she hasn't even bothered to speak to any of the victims, and doesn't see the need to.

Sinister. Proud lefty here, from a long line of them.
Fantastic illustration of the topic of social construction of pathology -- and of medical progress, since we no longer pathologies this. #socy126 #nosology #lefties #southpaws
