@PopBase ...then insanity continues, and the worst is yet to come.

Today is the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia.

@elonmusk @UN_Women I checked the replies to the statement from @UN_women because I was curious when the first idiotic "define woman" reply showed up. Congrats, you were top! Doesn't make you less abusive and crass though.

@UN_Women Please define precisely what is a woman. XX chromosomes?

Let women be. Let women lead. Let women thrive. Let women speak up. Let women represent. Let women live peacefully. Let women express themselves. Let women control their bodies. Let women live.

Israel has kidnapped the sister of the president of Ireland.

@giveashitnature @frederiquespigt Also they're pretty and apparently make a really nice tea 😁😁

Spraying one dandelion with Roundup can kill over 100 bees. The flower doesn't die instantly. Bees will keep visiting it for days, taking the poison back to their nests and hives. Never spray dandelions in spring and summer. They're one of the first major food sources for emerging pollinators. Let them bloom or remove them by hand.

@JeromeFosterII Amazing how that resembles Van Gogh's start night 💕

This is how oceans move water across the planet!

@thundertick @Fulcrum_HQ @PhilipProudfoot @getprdone Thanks, I mixed up the names. SV is even worse than STV for proportional representation 😕

@P_Bots @Fulcrum_HQ @PhilipProudfoot @getprdone I think you mean the supplementary vote, not STV.

Andy Burnham's one chance was to offer The Greens Proportional Representation. He's clear it's off the table, so let's deny the coronation.

@Fulcrum_HQ @PhilipProudfoot @getprdone He offered STV, not PR... STV would still create the same mess of unaccountability there is in the UK now...

@PhilipProudfoot @getprdone How is it off the table?? He literally said he supports electoral reform and wants a manifesto pledge (which is the only way it's getting through the Lords). Seems if he was PM the door would be ajar and our job would be to push it. Any other leader is like pushing a brick wall.

@Calderbank @LeftieStats @Fox_Claire @Telegraph That's what they said before as well, when the Greens won outright in Gorton and Denton...

@LeftieStats @Fox_Claire @Telegraph They haven’t a hope in hell of winning that seat

🚨NEW | Greens confirm they will contest Makerfield. Despite Caroline Lucas urging the party to step aside and endorse Starmer's Labour Party, a Green spokesperson said the selection process has begun. "We've shown we can beat Reform" they added. (Via @Telegraph)

@KajsaOllongren When will the EU or the NL actually ban conversion therapy?? Please start advocating this as well as looking outward!!

Today and everyday, we celebrate and protect the right to love and be whoever, wherever 💚💛🧡❤️🩷💜💙🩵 #IDAHOT

As more details emerge about Juniper, I cannot help but feel despair. Not just the despair that comes from sadness, but the deep, soul wrenching pain that comes with losing family. It does not matter that I never knew her personally, her life was no less precious. And I mourn her as if I knew her. Because when a trans woman is brutalized, stabbed over and over with such cruelty, many of us feel that terror and grief in our bones. We see ourselves, our friends, our brothers, our sisters, enbies reflected back in that violence. I learned the full story at work, it nearly brought me to tears. I was unable to focus, the grief clung so heavily in my chest. On top of all that, is the exhaustion that comes from watching trans lives repeatedly treated as disposable, not even in the wake is she spared from vicious comments. Juniper deserved safety. She deserved dignity. She deserved the chance to grow old, to laugh, to love, to exist. Ffs she was only 19! She deserved so much better, and my heart will mourn her and so many others we have lost along the way. There's so much more I want to say but I'll leave it at this. Her name is Juniper Blessing. Rest in peace sister.

A. lived in Germany since he was 2 months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation. My latest @jacobin jacobin.com/2026/05/german…

States committing genocide must not be welcome at Eurovision. Russia and Belarus were rightly excluded after the invasion of Ukraine. But the atrocities inflicted against Palestinians are ignored. Licence fee payers shouldn’t have to fund Israel's pinkwashing propaganda.

Davonta Curtis Juniper Blessing Lucas Redbeard Knapp Aleanna Royal Belcher Dannielle Spillman Shyyell Diamond Sanchez-Mccray Lanessa Rodriguez Hailey "Spotsie" King These are the trans people we KNOW OF who've been murdered this year for being trans. Remember all of them.

I didn’t think i was ready for German stand-up comedy, but apparently i am, because i laughed at the difference between yoghurt and the USA being that if you leave yoghurt alone for 200 years it will develop a culture x.com/uncledoomer/st…

"The moment I realised Israeli society was fully fascist" Journalist and filmmaker @AbbyMartin shares her experience speaking to everyday Israeli citizens in 2017, and explains how genocidal rhetoric has now gone mainstream in the country.

In Jaffa, the Jews promised to allow the refugees back if only the Arabs laid down their weapons. The Arabs did lay down their weapons, but the Jews didn't allow the refugees back. Oh, and that was *before* "five Arab armies invaded Israel." The reason for that invasion was that the Jews were expelling people, not the other way round.

@Jennyjinx @omgsidewalks I do both, refusing to go to bed without enough me time and get up way too early for more me time.... 🤣😭

@omgsidewalks Fucking FACT. Or we get up.3 hours before work so we can have 2 hours to deal with the idea of going and leave one hour to get ready. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NEURODIVERGENTS WILL BE LIKE “I’M SO TIRED” AND THEN REFUSE TO SLEEP JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH ME TIME AFTER SURVIVING THE DAY

"Juniper was simply the most amazing human being we have ever known — highly intelligent, extremely talented, and deeply sensitive to the needs of others. Juniper’s loss not only devastates us but diminishes the world." them.us/story/slain-tr…

Do you know why this white man is relevant to Black history? Let me enlighten you. He was one of the Freedom Riders. In 1960, he was on a bus full of Freedom Riders who arrived in Montgomery Alabama where an angry white mob was waiting for them. He volunteered to get off the bus first and take the brunt of the mob's violence, which left him beaten and bloody. His name was James Zwerg.
