A quick PSA, if you follow me and are a frothing bigot, you'll be blocked. If you're a nice conservative, you'll just be disappointed.

@SandyofSuffolk @MinnesotaFan92 Wimpy burger bars started in 1954 and quickly boomed. You may not have had freezer meals, but you had Spam and tinned tongue, both of which were worse. I was surrounded by your huge fashion choices through the 70s: you knew austerity only before you were five, or since 2008

@MinnesotaFan92 You're in the USA. We didn't here in the UK.

Just so you know. Boomers didn't have fast food. Except fish and chips. Boomers didn't have ready meals. Except Vesta beef curry. Look it up. Boomers didn't have colour TVs, front loading washing machines, central heating or holidays abroad. Boomers didn't have babymoons or baby showers nor did they go on stag or hen weekends. Boomers didn't go to restaurants. Except on birthdays. Boomers didn't have new clothes every year, every season. They made do and mended. But Boomers had a fabulous time in the 1960s to 1980s because people were friendly, respectful, dignified and hardworking. Boomers also had law and order and a judiciary who punished ALL criminals. Boomers were happy with their lot. Yes. I'm a Boomer. Just so you know.

It really is incredible - and quite frightening - to see the Gender Critical machine pretending trans women were never covered by the Equality Act. And our useless complicit media go along with it. Let’s be clear: Religious Lord Hodge overstepped the mark and REWROTE the law at the UKSC last April - stripping us of our rights. Not a judge’s job. Parliament makes law. There SHOULD have been an inquiry. Labour SHOULD have stepped in and said “This is nonsense.” The AUTHOR of the EA says trans women WERE absolutely covered by the EA. Hodge refused to call her. The EA came six years AFTER the GRA - which had already settled legally that trans women are women. Why is everyone ignoring this fact? Britain is such a corrupt country. 🤷‍♀️🙄 @EmilyThornberry

Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires: Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think. What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her: "So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'" The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics. That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question: "I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'" She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern: "It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history." The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable. The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead. So why are the rest of us being sold something different?

The Isaac Herzog quote from October 2023, where he said "it's an entire nation out there that is responsible," is incredibly difficult to find. Did Isaac Herzog try to scrub this clip from the internet? Has anyone investigated this?

@Cecilia2078602 @amelia_tweetz That’s so weird because we’ve been sending servicepeople to die in your wars my whole life and we’ve not started a single one in that whole period!

@amelia_tweetz We can’t afford universal healthcare because we’ve been paying every single other country for their defense and they’re using the money. They don’t have to pay on defense for their universal healthcare time to stop.

We started a war with Iran- that cost us 30 billion. We then paid them 25 billion to end it... and are in a WORSE position than before we started it. But we cannot afford Universal Healthcare?

@AlisonThisTime1 @neco_arctic Why did Liddy Bacroft die in Mauthausen if they weren’t targeting trans women?

@neco_arctic Just piss in the gents, Dave Oh and Nazis actually loved trannies and experimenting on children. You're in good company. Google it

Notice that TERFs use "mentally ill" as a pejorative. They do actually hate the mentally ill, and like the Nazis, will start exterminating them after they're done with us.

Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister Anyway, that’s enough of my time for you!

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister I don’t expect to convince you to care about trans people because you’ve clearly closed your reasoning on that topic. But from self interest alone, you should stop playing from the Heritage Foundation’s handbook. In years to come, I hope you remember this warning.

Well this is all very nice and laudable but we now have a situation in Britain where a butch lesbian can be BANNED from a woman's toilet or changing room because she looks too masculine. Wonder who we have to thank for that?

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister I’m pointing out that this sort of legislation inevitably hurts more non trans women than trans women. And supporting anti trans legislation inevitably leads to all women and all queer people losing rights. If you’re not interested in history, just look at the US.

@msdwrites @speakoutsister You’re mixing up the behaviour or individuals with the lawful basis for how services are provided

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister AFTER they’ve been harassed by bigots for wanting to piss.

@msdwrites @speakoutsister Well, I too have been around since the 70s and have been sharing spaces with lesbians with absolutely no issues. Good job they’ve got protection under the EA from discrimination

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister These days, my 6’ non- trans friend has been harassed several times by trabsphobes for the crime of wanting to wee while not being dainty. I’ve never had any problems from trans women in loos, but I’ve had over 50 years of grief from transphobes.

@annetteholliday @speakoutsister Annette, my not even that butch by today’s standards stepmother was screamed at in the loos by bigots of the 1970s multiple times. A few times she gave up and just went to the men’s rather than deal with the faff. Transphobia is just recycled lesbiphobia and damaging to all women

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell, 1984

Not getting enough attention: the one-page order from Todd Blanche to wipe out every audit of Donald Trump. Many experts believe it’s illegal, and here’s why. Federal law prohibits the President or his aides from directing or halting an IRS audit. Agents who carry out a politically motivated audit, or stop one at the direction of the White House, can face prison time. That is the statute on the books. Now look at what just happened. Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General and Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, signed a one-page order demanding the IRS drop every existing audit of Trump, his family, and their “affiliates.” One of those audits reportedly could have cost Trump more than $100 million. The Treasury Department’s top lawyer resigned over it. The acting top IRS lawyer had to recuse himself because he previously represented Trump in his tax cases. There is no precedent for an Attorney General ordering an end to audits of a group of taxpayers. Many experts say the Attorney General has no authority to do this. So we have a likely illegal order, signed by the President’s former lawyer, on behalf of the President, protecting the President. And the only people with jurisdiction to investigate it work for the President. I will fight this with every tool I have.

Absolute bombshell. 60 Minutes exposes a massive insider trading ring making millions by betting on highly classified US military operations in Iran with a 98 percent win rate. Washington insiders are literally using secret Pentagon intelligence to rig prediction markets!

Martha Stewart went to prison for saving herself $45,673 using an illegal stock tip. Donald Trump traded stocks 3,700 times between Jan—Mar of this year, totaling between $220–$750 million, and used the presidency to make his stocks go up… And he’s walking around a free man.

The "death tax" scare campaign is the laziest dog whistle in the playbook. Here are the facts straight from the Budget papers and ATO: Inheritance isn't taxed. Estates aren't taxed. Farms are exempt. Small business CGT concessions are retained in full. Existing testamentary trusts are grandfathered. Fixed testamentary trusts can still be set up for new wills at zero extra tax. The only change: new discretionary testamentary trusts created after 12 May 2026 will pay a 30% minimum on trust income from 2028. There are about 10,500 testamentary trusts in Australia — 1% of all trusts. And only the discretionary, income-splitting variety set up from now on is caught. 30% is what a nurse on $80k already pays on her top dollar. The Right isn't defending battlers. They're defending the tax planning industry that lets wealth split income across grandkids and bucket companies to pay less than wage earners on the same money. If you want to leave assets to your kids, nothing stops you. What's stopping is the loophole.

Louisiana has decided to cede the entire parole decision-making process to an algorithm that will decide if you die in prison or not. There will be no human input or nuance allowed. Even our parole board is sickened by this. LINK: veritenews.org/2025/04/10/tig…
