If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

"Home Office officials described the plans as “the most sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration in modern times”."

Almost all of the measures spoken about are to do with asylum and refugees, which is not a form of illegal immigration.

“the lighting in here is terrible. You gotta get yourself one of them lights to make your skin look better, like a flesh light”

Resident Alien is a very average show, but that floored me.

Three points I keep repeating
1. Left and liberal voters actually really exist
2. The right and "centre" are trying to rule without liberals - they are way out over their skis
3. Reports of right wing total information control are greatly exaggerated

The EHRC's ‘interim guidance’ is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.

We’re in the High Court tomorrow to challenge it.

nuke the bbc with everyone in it

Why were folks miffed by Trump demolishing the East Wing, when there’s an entire second goddamn White House?

I think everyone needs to get a sense of perspective when it comes to Trump's threat to sue the BBC for 1 billion dollars.
What's most important here is not editorial independence, it's can the corporation survive long enough to reveal which old Doctor Who stories have been returned to the archive?

This audacity of Michael Prescott and his report on the BBC.

hi! this is my first day as negotiator for the democrats. Feels like it's going well 🤞😊

The fact that the right wing press is now coming for Tory appointees to the public service broadcaster demonstrates precisely how far right they have gone. Overton window exiting stage left (audience right), pursued by a bunch of howling Nazis.

i hate the presumption that irregular channel crossings by asylum seekers are 'illegal'. it is not against the law to enter the UK irregularly for the purpose of seeking asylum. this is international law, to which the UK has been party to for longer than most people in britain have been alive

note to self

#Caturday!

Sora could never make anything so beautiful.

The Scottish Greens stand with the dozens of workers sacked by @rockstargames.com for exercising their right to organise with @gameworkers.co.uk @iwgbunion.bsky.social

Reinstate them now, then get around the table & give your staff the pay & conditions they deserve for making you billions.

incredible

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library.

300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive.

A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable.

Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼
