I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.

Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.

That's it. That's the whole thing.
In case anyone is wondering what kind of campaign Collins intends to run next year, now we know. No achievements, only hate:

Susan Collins backs referendum to overturn Maine’s protections for transgender students

Susan Collins backs referendum to overturn Maine’s protections for transgender students
Collins' office said she signed onto the petition because she agrees with President Donald Trump’s interpretation of Title IX.

. @labouruk.bsky.social think that politics is a game. People are going to live or die based on the coming budget and all Rachel Reeves can think about is if she's going to win or not. A nasty group of people who need to be anywhere but government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Why did we take a mandatory unit on the Holocaust every year in Hebrew school if not to recognize this pattern
this defies parody. also helps explain why Sec Bessent bizarrely blamed immigrants when confronted with a question about high beef prices

btw this confirms the suspicion that what @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and her catholic friends are up to is trying to enforce gender stereotypes on to women.

this would mean that any woman, cis or trans, who doesn't conform and look 'womanly' enough will be harassed and abused in public & work.
according to the times the ehrc and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social want to ban trans women from 'single sex spaces'( whatever this means ) based on how well we pass.

passing is just how fuckable society thinks we are according to patriarchal beauty standards. it's as misogynist as it gets.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean.

A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

if labour were actually concerned about online safety they would ban the nazi app. it's poison. it's full of far right propaganda, child sexual assault materials, and misogynist abuse and radicalisation

this is how you know @emily4mk.bsky.social and co have a censorship agenda:
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how
Ignoring VPNs risks creating ineffective laws, but tracking them threatens people's privacy

imagine how much of a privileged cunt you'd have to be to think that removing health insurance from people wasn't a real danger
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Because the one thing we know for sure is that appropriated funds get spent as designated 🌞
2. We need to move big appropriations bills that restore spending with strong guardrails to curtail Trump/Vought mischief. Boring but very real.

There isn't going to be a December vote, and it doesn't matter what the result of it would be anyway since the house will just shrug. These are the dumbest fucks you've ever sen in your life
That December vote is a huge moment we can turn into a victory. People are watching. Good bill, we win; they cheat, they will lose. If we fight united.

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win.

looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

It’s here! ’The Prince of All Rats’, Fallen London‘s Exceptional Story for November, was written by yours truly. I hope you enjoy the seduction of our self-styled prince!
"May I?" he asks, and he holds out a paw, his claws beckoning. He kisses the back of your hand.

The self-declared Prince of All Rats has the manners, bearing, and ambition to rule – and a personal interest in your acquaintance. Will you help the Fifth City to accept his claim?
