Soooo Palestine is no longer on Google Maps. It just doesn't exist. Shows that military states can just erase people in the modern day and get away with it.

The constant lies Musk and Trump release in a stream to indoctrinate their followers are one thing, but what gets me is other LGBTQ people who turn against transfolk. Don't forget trans people helped make LGBTQ rights 55 years ago while gay communities booed them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZd-...

@iamatrex.com Hey, I'm just speculatively reaching out, thinking about TTRPG collaborations. If you would be interested at all, I'd LOVE to chat DMs or Discord. 😁

The US Vice President, JD Vance, is pressuring the UK to ditch our anti-hate speech laws as part of trade talks. These laws protect people from abuse and hate - they should not be up for negotiation.

Foreign leaders should never get to dictate British values and laws. Full stop.

Take note of all the companies, institutions, and individuals who once supported LGBTQ progress yet now turn their backs and reject us because the social environment is changing. They aren't allies, they are associates. We don't need associates.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Tech elites, fueled by an ideology that embraces capitalist monarchy, helped Trump win the election. Now he's ramming through mass infrastructure projects to fuel AI - which will only accelerate jobs lost to automation. The future is here, you just weren’t invited. itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...

The NHS is the best example of socialist achievement (next fire services). Free health for all at point of sale, paid for by everyone; true humanity. Do not let American capitalism destroy it:

Don't sell our NHS for a trade deal with Trump
Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not open the door to US healthcare profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during deal negotiations....

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Remember, if people say 'renewables arent robust enough' point out that they make up half of Britain's power generation now. It's only taken twenty years to go from 5% to 46%. With more installation on the horizon and permanently closed oil and coal, carbon negative living is very achievable.

Isn't it kinda proof Trump isn't Christian? I don't particularly like organised religions, but for a person who claims to be right with and representing 'God' to then insult a Bishop just because her views oppose him, doesn't that mean he isn't actually faithful? Surely that's an insult to God?

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Trans folk of Great Britain.

Starmer proved that he will not support us against adversity. He filly supported Israel during its invasion and refused to call if a genocide or call for an immediate ceasefire until everyone else politically was.

There we go, they said it in Nebraska, the anti-trans rhetoric isn't about protecting anyone. All they offer is hypothetical risks and pointless threats at T peeps, all followed by pointing out that trans people are 'for the devil' and they want America for Christians only.

Persist and resist ❤️❤️❤️
