Can’t believe what I’ve just heard in this #QueensSpeech
Housing: plans dropped
Human rights: stripped
Conversion therapy ban: half-baked
Levelling up: hollowed out
Climate emergency: utterly ignored
This is a Tory Government with no purpose

Everyone needs to watch this. I used to think Starmer was just an empty vessel, who was used & manipulated by the right wingers surrounding him. But I was wrong - Starmer is a full blown psychopath. Absolutely f*cking horrifying. https://youtu.be/qsoPjsEsWiw

The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened
"I defy you to find me anything more American than Washington decoupling relief for its own citizens from its proxy war funding because it wants to make sure the proxy war funding actually passes."

Royal Mail is trying to sack nearly 1,000 loyal workers and replace them with staff on much lower pay. [1] This awful practice is dubbed “fire and rehire” — and shockingly, it’s totally legal.

It tells you a lot that the Skinhead Party's new favorite line of insult is: "HA HA LOOK AT THOSE LOSERS TRYING TO BE POLITE AND INCLUSIVE! WHAT A BUNCH OF LAME NICE-OIDS!"
Hence all their Freeze Peach arguments taking form of "We want the 'right' to be mean without consequence" https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1523295136850997254
"offer"
Funny how so much revolves around such a tiny word

everyone being like "it sucks that you want to insulate yourself from people who want nothing more than to see you suffer and die" and advocating against using tools provided by the software to accomplish this because having their misguided idea of "free speech" is more important to them than other people's lives.
attackers of @fediblock claiming it "ruins the fediverse" are actually making fedi work as intended, lmao. the option to defederate on both user and server levels exist for a reason!
