From Twitter. So probably a response to idiots and liars about Brexit, NHS, unfairness, bigotry etc

“Judge me on my record,” said Sunak - and then hid the record.
He covered up the truth about all the fraud, corruption and profiteering which his phenomenal ineptitude, profligacy & negligence had enabled. But truth will out..

"The polling found that there would be no electoral penalty for Labour if the Party said Brexit was a mistake, and that it could even gain from doing so." https://encompass-europe.com/comment/challenging-the-labour-partys-eu-strategy

Don’t let the bastards take away your NHS. https://twitter.com/nhsmillion/status/1650940832550101012
I was at the EIE meeting in Birkenhead and didn’t see a single one of them. I think one person at Ellesmere Port out of 25 or so.
Party that’s done f all steals non partisan slogan. Can they sink any lower? Notice they say nothing about the NHS, having already caved.

Dwyane Wade's revelation that he moved out of Florida because of hostility to his trans daughter is important, potentially making the issue real to people for whom it might otherwise be abstract/easy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/27/dwyane-wade-transgender-florida-desantis/

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.
If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.
If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.

Dunno about you lot but I *do* speak ill of the dead if their life was dedicated to being horrible; inflicting copious amounts of harm on others.
If you have a problem with that, you have permission to kiss the Blackest part of my ass.
Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit.

@MrOverpaid So you have failed at building a relationship with anyone?

There is no connection between the thirteen years of Conservative misrule and us all becoming poorer. 🙃

@Lakesman5 You're definitely not pretending to be a stupid cunt.

@KayBurley With 16m in poverty, a failed Brexit, a corrupt government and food inflation at 20%, this seems really important.

Contrary to popular belief, people don’t hate you for telling the truth. They resent you for not confirming their biases.

Bank of England’s top economists tells households they ‘need to accept’ being poorer https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/huw-pill-bank-of-england-b2326566.html
I think poor Diane Abbot has just had enough. I don’t blame her.

we need to expand the definition of violence in people's minds to include indirect violence that the state perpetuates on a mass scale
someone who starves to death because they were cut off benefits was murdered by the person who signed the piece of paper that resulted in people having their benefits cut off
someone who was arrested and imprisoned and dies in prison because they were not given medical care was murdered by the state just as much as if they were directly killed by a cop
someone who dies of a viral disease because the state decided people don't have to wear masks and it is better to let people die of disease than hamper economic growth died because of state policy, the people who made this decision have blood on their hands
houseless people who freeze to death because cops got rid of the tents they were sleeping in were murdered by the cops and by the politicians who ordered the tent camp evictions
someone who dies of a stress related illness because they couldn't take time off work without starving to death died because of capitalism
it is not okay to demonize self defense against indirect violence as if it was the ones defending themselves who started the violence, and not seeing indirect violence for what it is contributes to this

@cyrilpedia Unbelievable. I thought this was put to bed 50 years ago. A dentist friend did once say that Afro Caribbean folk can have brittle teeth and it meant taking special care doing extractions, but that’s just being a decent human.

I'm sorry but this is just the funniest shit ever.
These losers were mad that celebs had checkmarks and they didn't. Now they can buy the same checkmark and they're mad that the celebs won't.
