A Labour councillor responds: "Animal cruelty and gambling addictions are what make the REAL working class".

Antisemitism and homophobia are closely linked cousins, transphobia by extension. Tale as old as antisemitism itself imo.

A woman wearing a brightly coloured top has her arms folded next to a quote that reads: “Targeting trans people whilst pretending to care about women's safety is classic patriarchy. It distracts from the 99% of sexual crime and 90% of violent crime committed by cis men and sets back equality for women by policing our bodies'”

We’re proud to include voices like @natashadevon.bsky.social MBE - journalist, campaigner, and long-time advocate for women and young people - in our growing movement of women speaking out in support of the trans+ community

I’m honestly pretty fucking furious that no allowance was made even for ambulances or fire trucks.

They just dumped their tractors in town and didn’t even bother to make allowances for some people to move and not others. Just blocked everyone.

Completely reckless behaviour.

Dublin Fire Brigade appeals to protesters after 'significant delays' responding to emergencies Gardaí have also asked protesters to “facilitate public transport and other traffic” this afternoon as disruptions continue.

Dublin Fire Brigade has said it experienced "significant delays" responding to emergencies this morning due to the ongoing fuel protests in the city.

It appealed to those involved "to ensure free passage of all emergency vehicles. jrnl.ie/7006656

Pretty much. Would have been nice if they had waited to see if anything came back or not. Jumping the gun means that there isn’t even a point in talking to associations because they don’t even control the strikers. A huge setback.

I’m here living through my third “once in a generation” fuel crisis in 20 years and I don’t see the situation improving.

One thing that comes up a lot – in fact, it's going to come up in Friday's column – in the whole "male loneliness epidemic is how "the manosphere/far-right are the only people offering answers to the problem", and that's not even vaguely true.

Israeli attack kills Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah in Gaza This is a breaking news story.

This is a breaking news story.

What’s there to talk about? Like what are the outcomes protestors are asking for?

If it was about simply getting to have a conversation, the hauliers association and the farmers associations were already in discussions, and this action only serves to undermine their negotiating position.

I’ve seen lots of democrats say the same thing but usually in tweet form, with no video.

I’ve also seen lots of democrats either say absolutely nothing about this, completely abandoning the field to Carlson, or say absolutely stupid shit like Warnock.

Famously the case with the Duggar family too

A disturbingly large number of the anti-LGBTQ nutters turn out to be child abusers. It’s almost as if the fire & fury is to cover up their depraved crimes. Everytime you see a homophobe, or transphobe, you need to think about the safety of kids in the vicinity. There is a serious pattern.

We will never be equal to cishets in the way that our access to rights and institutions doesn’t need to be fought for and can’t be revoked.

We were never given equality, at got inclusion, and it we got included by kicking the door in and taking our place not by asking them to open it.

Of that, she thought she was really equal with the cishets.

But, just like we said would happen, the minute she stopped being useful, they dropped her ass, and now she might not get to be married at all.

This needs to serve as a reminder for all LGBTQ people - we will never, ever be equal. 2/

Lesbians Like Me Joined Forces with Conservatives. Now They’re Turning on Us. — Queer Majority The political right welcomed LGBT moderates with open arms. Once they took power, the mask came off.

This can all be summarised in “I never thought the leopards would eat my face”.

At the end of the day a lesbian who is a pretty white woman got the tiniest shred of straight privilege because the state let her get married (after we forced it to) and because 1/

Let’s call this what it is, TERFs are sexualising children.

For one thing trans girls are not boys.

For another, why is it different for a girl to be undressed in front of another girl, vs a boy, when both children are *ten years old*?

It’s kind of implicitly saying that ten year old children are a threat of sexual harassment or misconduct. 1/

Image of a library with "Scrap tuition fees" written in big bold writing. Real hope real change written at the top and Green Party logo with imprint at the bottom.

Capping student loan interest rates at 6%? Not good enough.

After months of criticism this is the Labour government's insufficient response to the debt trap that is student loans.

It's time to scrap tuition fees altogether.

It’s not even really a ceasefire since Israel violated it like, almost immediately lol

We never really had any serious investment into e-bikes over here because the Chinese market just made cheaper alternatives, but we should have been doing so.

If we had blockaded fuel terminals to protest against genocide in Palestine, every single one of those people would have been beaten and in jail.

Word of the ceasefire reached local commanders just fine.

Iran said the terms of the ceasefire include Lebanon, Israel ignored that so, in practice, there is no ceasefire. Israel continues to single-handedly be the barrier to peace in the Middle East.

Crazy to watch panicking libs beg for some marginalized leftist to kill the mad king for them and then immediately pivot to mocking the left for asking them to actually oppose the mad king in any meaningful way

Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Ilhan Omar described this moment as “sickenly evil” and says trump must be impeached. Where’s this energy?

Looking forward to hearing Israeli media say the synagogue bombed by the IDF in Iran on Passover with Jews praying inside was actually Hamas
