i just commented this elsewhere but this is also victim-blaming behavior and you should rethink before implying that you are too smart to be fooled or abused. take a long hard think about what are you really saying
I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

Wow. They almost get it. How indeed…
the combo of insulting graphic with correct sentiment got me checking their timeline just to be sure, and and the use of a TPUSA style watermark is perfect lol

The “culture war” has always been the distraction to prevent us from realizing we have been losing a one-sided class war the whole time.
Actually no, let's do this; it would be Good, Actually

Sir Ewan Forbes (1912-1991) was a Scottish nobleman, general practitioner, farmer, and a trans man. He transitioned during the 1930s, following medical care in Germany. He changed his name legally in 1952 and married Isabella Mitchell, his housekeeper and formerly co-founder of his dance troupe.

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

Trotsky was always right - fascist support is always driven first and foremost by a hatred of the left.
The best tweet of the day… no, the month. I really didn’t know that the neo-Nazis had these many sympathizers. If you are still wondering how millions of people perished in concentration & death camps, well, it starts with people like this guy. Yes, I’m saying it & meaning it quite literally.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

A fair amount of newspapers and broadcast journos have utterly lost the plot RE: UK, France, and Biden. They can’t grasp the rise of far right populism/fascism not quite happening so straightforwardly, or actually being effectively fought back against. Modi/India has vanished off the radar too…

seriously I cannot get enough. cry more. cry harder. understand that as long as people draw breath the opposition to fascism is stronger than you. whatever your reasons for being a fascist, know every time that your gains will be short ones which you'll relinquish in tears every. fuckin. time
DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS btw

Centrists have been confidently declaring the left wants Trump to win based entirely on their own vibes for almost a decade now.
I keep seeing references made to 'leftists' who 'want 45 to win.' Who are these leftists? Are they strangers on the internet? I just don't see this. No one I know on the Left(s) is pro-45. I know some reactionary *moderates* who are though.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Starmer got less votes today than Corbyn did in the "disaster" of 2019, which Labour have given up absolutely every principle to avoid repeating. This wasn't a Labour win, it was a Conservative loss. Remember that for next time.
UK Labour's last three vote counts, percentages and seats. Man that's one fucked up voting system. 2024: 9,650,254 / 33.8% / 411 2019: 10,269,051 / 32.1% / 202 2017: 12,877,918 / 40.0% / 262

STV pointing out Corbyn's 40% didn't win but Starmer's much lower share will, and calling this "vote efficiency" feels incredibly like we're in Spinal Tap "appeal has become more selective" territory.

Enjoying Corbyn's STV interview. Absolutely nailing an incredibly difficult tightrope walk.

Penny Mourdant out. This one is particularly satisfying, given how completely she sold out the trans community to fractionally increase her chances to captain a sinking ship in 2022.

Labour are eating shit in constituencies with big Muslim communities due to their gutless position on Gaza

Hurrah for Zarah Sultana, as well. Got to briefly speak to her on the picket lines of Warwick University, and was absolutely blown away.

Literally no better microcosm of how the media are the problem here than STV cutting away from Corbyn before he even starts his victory speech "to see if Farage has made it".

The only reason Iain Duncan Smith still has his seat is because Starmer shitcanned Faiza Shaheen for no fucking reason at all. Great fucking job lads. Great fucking job.
