This piece by @NJ_Timothy represents the sort of arguments that were heard from opponents of the ECHR at the @durhamunion on Friday. Happily, the students saw through the rhetoric and recognised the damage that would be caused by leaving. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02/12/britain-cannot-protect-borders-within-echr-must-leave/

The wizard game discourse is highlighting how rightful wary marginalised people are about performative allies and how much danger their precarious support places trans people in.
'I'll join people who want you dead if you talk to me the wrong way' is 100% abuser talk.

In fact quite a few of these ‘culture war’ debates are fascists gauging how many people will wilfully ignore marginalised people’s testimony on their own harm.
It is also about getting your assent that they will be forgiven/protected for what comes next.

when you stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back at you because the abyss has to poop
At your point of need there is nobody who needs it more.
Community not charity.

This will come as no surprise, but last night's violent far right protests in Knowsley, U.K. were promoted freely on social media.
Facebook has groups like 'Hotels Housing Illegals' and Twitter has accounts like Yorkshire Rose(Get The Migrants Out).
All of these groups were promoting violent disorder and hate speech last night, and are celebrating violent disorder and hate speech this morning, with no consequence.
There are laws against this.
But where is the accountability?
This is an analysis that doesn't love either imperialism. Worth a watch.

Unison and RCN have been briefing that a similar pay offer to that made in Wales (7.75%) could end the health strikes. Activists should push back against leadership attempts to end the strikes so far from the union's demands.

We’ve noticed a lot of people confusing the Gender Recognition Reform bill, which doesn’t afford new rights to trans people, with the existing Gender Recognition Act which does. This is caused by bad actors and a corrupt tabloid media, including BBC Scotland, indulging them.

🚨 | BREAKING: Art collector Teddy Baumgartner, who won a £1,100 Sworders auction for a portrait of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher that had been rescued from a skip, has complained that the painting is, "absolutely saturated in urine, the smell of ammonia is unbearable."

How many national leaders are not initiators or perpetuators of war?
How many can say they and their nation's security, military and diplomatic services have worked assiduously for peace above all else?
We live in a world run by war criminals, whether by commission or omission.
I found this really useful, lots of explanation and good arguments when you come up against the knee jerks.

Elon flips shit on an employee who politely told him that the views feature isn’t broken, he just doesn’t have enough clout.
I came to this story because a source at Twitter messaged me and said “he really did fire an engineer for telling the truth” 😵

Rishi Sunak's @Conservatives have been told to stop using the phrase 'levelling up communities', & instead use the terms 'stepping up', or 'gauging up'.
A far more honest & accurate phrase to use would be 'fucking up'.
Discovered why the passport office have been asking me to send my old passport over and over. Envelope arrived empty and damaged. I had an acknowledgment saying it had arrived. In December. I need it end April for holidays. Ffs.
I contacted them to ask why they keep asking me for a document they said they had.
Ffffffffs

When I'm pushing the twins in their pram and someone asks me if they're mine
I say “no, they're for my collection” and run away as fast as I can
This morning I took a picture of it alone but i don’t remember it being blurry like this.
