1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

This was two years before October 7th during a flag march where Zionists chanted "Death to Arabs" and smashed Palestinian businesses and homes like the nazis did during Kristallnacht.

If your business cannot prosper without breaking the law, then it is not a business. It is organized crime.

Like those dependent on slavery, child labor, or wage theft, it should go out of business as soon as possible.

Tough shit. They and other hunts all scoffed at the law and continued to use it as a cover for their barbarism. All hunts should close.

Saying 'I went to X place and saw no white faces' is the same as saying 'only white people can be British' and should get you hounded out of politics. The absolute ghouls.

It was inevitable that “too many people speaking Polish” Brexitism would become outright “too many brown people”

And it’s what people like Gove, David Davis and Johnson enabled

When Israel invites Tommy Robinson as an honoured guest; when the Jewish Chronicle invites Nigel Farage to write about October 7; when Starmer labels protesters for justice in Palestine as "un-British"... you know where you need to be this Saturday! Join us in the Jewish Bloc on the Palestine demo!

STFU #CNN, there is no left wing party in America. Stop lying. The Democrats are a party of AIPAC stooges, genocide enablers and apologists. What part of that is left wing?

It's actually really impressive how much of where we got to right now stems from the top legal and political scholars in our media just declaring "well if that's true then the left is right, and we know they're not, so that isn't true" for like, thirty years

Wholly unconvincing response to the rat. No one confronts an indoor rat without dropping an f bomb or invoking Jesus. Or both.

In France, as in Britain, the centre's claim to moderation has been a cover for serving capital and constraining democracy. Fiscal “responsibility” has meant cutting public investment. “Reform” has meant dismantling social protection. “Competitiveness” has meant keeping wages down.

Good Law Project report:

'Ofcom has found GB News in breach of their code'.

When can we expect GB News licence to be revoked?

The Government is considering temporary renationalisation of Thames Water

There should be no such thing, renationalise it, and renationalise the rest of Water and Energy too

Hit them with fines, cripple them with taxes, pay them with pennies, like they paid Thatcher for them

Creeping up towards 3 million and increasing as you watch the count. Government initial response in the text of the petition.

Still time to sign if you haven't already done so.

REALLY important petition folks. This is so that people without smartphones can access important things (like NHS care). We need the choice to have a non digital option!

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens.
