The idea that the Far Right cares about the safety of women and girls is absurd. Especially as 2 in 5 of last year’s ‘protesters’ are domestic abusers. And that’s the ones we know about. apple.news/AjSG2K2dOSSG...

I guess this is what we're going to have to get used to... NHS Worker (and British citizen of Filipino origin) with 15 years of service abused whilst walking with her family in W Yorkshire. She's leaving the country and I'm sorry. The tone from the top is always heard at the bottom.

I’m a Jew who supports Palestinian liberation. Judaism & Zionism are different. Judaism is an identity: a religion, people, history, culture. Zionism is a political ideology saying Jews have more rights in Israel than people who lived there for centuries, espec Palestinians. NEVER AGAIN for ANYONE.

Days after reuniting with his family, the Trump administration has once again detained Kilmar Ábrego García and now plans to deport him to Uganda — a country he has zero connection to — as retaliation for not accepting the government's plea deal. This vindictive cruelty must end.

Trump just told on himself. Asked if DOJ should release the Epstein files, he didn’t demand truth—he cried that “innocent people” might be named, called it a “hoax,” and begged to bury it. Translation: he’s terrified. The cover-up is cracking. Keep your eyes on the Epstein files. 👀

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

If you cared about Israel then you would see that this is self immolation. Israel is now a pariah state. And your lack of basic human compassion for starving civilians is a reflection of your present government’s hard right stance. The irony somehow escapes you.
