Fifty, female and furious - it just can’t be that hard to be a decent human but somehow the worst people seem to be the most amplified (looking at Trump/Farage etc)

Exactly this. The media just keeps fanning the flames and there’s a giddiness amongst them with no thought to the outcome. Utterly irresponsible- Like Brexit all over again with the promise of a new but in reality the same chaos and damage. God it’s depressing.

If you don't know, this was the tweet: " “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.” This is not only hate speech, it is also the definition of incitement to violence.

I don’t think the media explains to people properly what politicians are doing to the NHS 🚨-this is more important than ever, because Labour is advancing NHS privatisation. I started a newsletter in my spare time to explain what’s going on. Click here: jujuliagrace.substack.com💙

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

Never has anyone so undeserving had so much power. What really grates is we are always taught to stand up to a bully yet he’s the biggest bully of all and no one has. In fact everyone involved with him ends up getting mired in shit yet still they do it. The corruption runs deep.

It’s really troubling how quickly the checks and balances have gone by the wayside in the US and equally alarming how our media/gov seem to be so hellbent on allowing Reform to have so much airtime. It’s unraveling at a speed I wasn’t prepared for!

The abuse I've been sent has got noticeably worse in the last few months, escalating in some cases to violent threats, which are reported to the police. It doesn't matter how much you disagree with someone, threats of violence are never, ever OK. And they won't silence me. Me in the Guardian:

An increasingly dictatorial president is deploying the military and police against their enemies, and is using ‘emergency’ powers across the board. This is a common phenomenon, the world over. If you think it is somehow different because it is the US, then you have fallen for exceptionalism.

The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost. Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions. No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

If an individual offering consensual nudes of themself on OnlyFans is considered “illicit” but a program generating nudes of women without their consent is fine, the powers that be have made their priorities clear. And they’re the same as they ever were.

I think much of the English right built their identity on Brexit, which they never believed in their wildest dreams would happen, but when they got it they realised it solved absolutely nothing, left them bereft of ideas and office, and now they’re thinking, “ah, f—k it, let’s try revolution.”
