that BlueSky is apparently taking orders directly from fascists in the US government to suppress even the mildest critical post about a deceased fascist shouldn’t really be a surprise given that they’ve been happy to also facilitate genocide by suppressing its victims on here 🤷🏻♀️

How is this anything other than blatant censorship? Our national broadcaster deciding, preemptively, that some artist may hold certain views and refusing to broadcast their performances in case they express said views.
NEW: The BBC has said it will no longer broadcast or live stream performances it deems 'high risk' following Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set

If you’re still demanding people give Labour another chance, that it’s still early days, that actually this is part of a big, beautiful plan to fix everything - you’re asking trans people, immigrants, disabled people, poor people to keep our mouths shut and to just take the abuse we’ve been given.

No non-violent direct action group has ever been banned as a terrorist group before.

"Since people without cancer don't need cancer meds, we've banned cancer meds because it's not fair to give people with cancer special treatment." That's how transphobes sound, and honestly, this new law makes it easier to ban other forms of medicine, which they clearly want to do.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Just out of my first Long Covid group session, a little over 9 months after getting covid. Looking at the 50 wee screens of people from Glasgow all looking for a way to get better, I can’t help but think of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and their choice to demonise people left sick, instead of helping.

After my car getting crashed into and written off, and then the replacement car having a traumatic MOT, I’ve just gotten to the car to see someone’s bashed the wing mirror off and scratched up the side. Whoever has cursed my driving please relent!!

Really disappointed to see @uofglasgow.bsky.social advertising for “fully funded” PhDs on an annual stipend of £7000. Particularly considering that the stipend comes with part-time work, limiting outside earning potential, this does feel like an opportunity for the independently wealthy only.
