Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.
Also frankly I am quite desperate! A party that’s at best ambivalent on the question of whether I’m English and wants to deport my friends is 9 points ahead in the polls and the current leader is floundering and visibly out of his depth!

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

It's eugenics and that is a key component of fascism in all modern iterations. Both Trump and RFK Jr have been saying and doing explicitly eugenicist things things for years, but many didn't pay attention to them/probably bought in a little because they were "just" targeting disabled people🤷🏻
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

I will be interested to see how many left wing pundits without disabilities speak out against the disability cuts. And I’ll be very keen to see which centrist “give Starmer a chance” pundits decide this is a scandal worth criticising.

Hi, hello, they canceled the Access Board, froze OCR (ADA-enforcement), are currently gutting OSERS (special Olympics, Amer. Printing House for the blind, IDEA law), and are to declare Section 504 unconstitutional
We are also SUPER the targets here.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

You can’t study warfare for at least the last two centuries without realizing that wars are mostly won & lost by logistics, supply, command & control, strategy. So aside from radiating Chernobyl levels of small dick energy this is just wrong abt what a sec def needs to do.

what this shows, sadly, is that Donald Trump actually understands crypto very well
Crypto rallied when Trump was elected because industry leaders looked forward to him loosening regulatory enforcement and helping to legitimize the blockchain model. Instead he is all in on enriching himself with a gimmick currency bearing his name.
Meme Coins Started as a Joke. Trump Thinks They're the Entire Point of Crypto
Crypto leaders are aghast that President Trump is launching meme coins as he enters office, undermining their industry with cheap gimmicks.

The fact that an article about banning trans women from sport prominently features a picture of a cis woman basically tells you everything.
Banning trans women in sport changes nothing for anyone except a handful of trans women. Cis women will still be raped by their coaches. Cis women will still be paid less. Cis women will still be second to cis men.
But Oliver Brown hates women, so he's happy with that.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
