The same legacy media dingbats who lied repeatedly, claiming “X/Twitter is dying”, are now saying it’s the “largest & most influential platform” 🤣🤣🤣
The real crime here is that my sides hurt from laughing at the irony!
Listen Ed, if you want to refute something, it is easy to do on this platform, unlike the tripe you publish in your legacy paper.
Edward Luce@EdwardGLuce
Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.

@Keir_Starmer If the identity of the Southport attacker had been released immediately, there would have been no room for disinformation
There was no cause to protect him - he was days away from him 18th birthday
English
This is not protest, it is pure violence.
We will have a standing army of public duty officers.
We will ramp up criminal justice.
We will apply criminal law online as well as offline.
We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.
English
@MahyarTousi I agree - we don't riot like the French do
But cost of living & quality of life has been degraded in the UK to the point that it's a tinderbox
English
Peter is correct. Britain is very patient. We could have seen riots and violence many times over the last few years. People waited to see if the establishment will finally listen to them. Now, the country is imploding.
The situation is not good and could get worse.

7/7 - No riots Lee Rigby - No Riots Westminster bridge - No Riots Manchester Arena -No Riots London Bridge -No Riots Manchester Station - No Riots London Bridge 2 -No Riots Reading -No Riots David Amess - No Riots We’re a patient nation. But, understandably, enough is enough.
English
@AyoCaesar If the cost of living wasn't so high/ living standards were better in the UK, people wouldn't be so dissatisfied & looking for others to blame
English
Perhaps others will disagree with me, but I don't think you can only respond to these race riots with crackdowns on the far-right.
Poverty, underfunded councils, lack of opportunity and hopelessness *does* contribute to whether disaffected locals will be swept up by organised agitators.
English
@OwenJones84 You're right...
Not trans
Just intersex with male XY chromosomes, likely wrongly assigned female at birth based on underdeveloped male genitalia
English
Anti-Muslim riots over horrific murders when the suspect isn't Muslim.
Anti-trans bile over a boxer who isn't trans winning a fight.
Everything is going really well I see!
English
@TheLastAnRkist @WomenReadWomen Or maybe no uterus & undescended testicles.
Like Casta Semenya, she clearly never developed breasts.
There is a disproportionate number of intersex individuals competing on women's sports due to the obvious advantages it gives
English
@WomenReadWomen So it seems she has Swyer Syndrome.
Vagina and uterus but XY chromosomes.
For a lot of people, that's baffling. We just dont hear about it often.
English
Don't forget, Imane Khelif could have requested a cheek swab sex test at any point to prove Khelif was actually female.
But that never happened.
English
@russ62960450 @hadiiiil2 Possible undescended tesitcles & no periods ,- definitely no boobs. The regulatory bodies need to clarify
English
XY chromosomes mean “she” has unfair advantages vis a vis an XX (female). I don’t know what her medical condition is, but “she’s” clearly not medically and competitively a woman, regardless of how her mother dressed her as a child. Neither the dresses, nor identifying as female, eliminated those physical advantages.
English
There’s no woman should be experiencing this … she had a muscular body because of training since her 14 yo . She did tests before , if she wasn’t they wouldn’t accept her from the beginning stop misleading people. She is a woman and a very strong woman. #ImaneKhelif
English
@MichaelSmail333 @hadiiiil2 She was assigned a 'girl' at birth - then puberty struck ...
English
@hadiiiil2 Iman was a girl during her childhood. Iman, after she defeated an Italian woman, somehow turned into a man. I don’t know how or why, but it seems that the referee was distributing male organs during the matches.
English
@SuppressedNws Hmm- do you understand DSD ? The outer genitalia doesn't represent actual sex
English
Imagine how Imane Khelif is feeling now and the damage that ignorant idiots caused just because she was born a woman with DSD.
The same idiots who never spoke about an actual transgender American in Olympics.
SHE is a WOMAN.
SHE is a CHAMPION.
YOU can go fvck yourself.
English
@RCheniguel X Y chromosomes
Why so many intersex individuals statistically competing in women's sports - dating back to the 1930's ?
competitive advantage
English
A biological woman is getting more hate than an athlete who r*ped a 12 year old, tells you everything 🥊🥊🥊
#Imane_Khelif #IstandWithImaneKhelif
English
@esjesjesj Do you understand intersex? The doctor assigns the sex that fits most closely at birth. By puberty, it may become obvious that the assigned sex was wrong.
Also, Imane has been tested & has XY - aka male chromosomes
English
The boxer is a woman who has been female her entire life. She is not trans. This shows you that this isn’t about children, it’s about the removal of all LGBTQ+ people from all aspects of society
English
@duchess_elle Thank you for speaking on this issue ...it amounts to sterilisation by stealth. The medical profession has a lot to answer for - & answer they will in years to come
English
I'm speaking from experience of being a sterilized first nations person.
I call on ALL levels of governments and offices to reconsider their stance on 'gender affirming care'.
English
@SVPhillimore @labourlewis @hogotheforsaken @shularises @AyoCaesar @novaramedia Threats of violence. Inciting violence. Take your pick. Probation anyone?
English
@labourlewis @hogotheforsaken @shularises @AyoCaesar @novaramedia You really want to make this ‘both sides’? Do you agree that Sarah Jane Baker should be recalled to prison immediately? If not, why not?
English
@docamitay @labourlewis @hogotheforsaken @shularises @AyoCaesar @novaramedia Er, when has that ever happened? Examples please Doc. And IF it has, I would expect them duly to be held to account also
English
@labourlewis @hogotheforsaken @shularises @AyoCaesar @novaramedia So then you advocate arresting/charging/holding "Sarah Jane Baker" to account as harshly as you would if you knew the identity of someone rallying a large crowd to commit violent acts against #Trans people, right?
You do know that your police force has gone after citizens 1/2
English
@kelly_cadigan You couldn't pay me to have ANY kind of op on my body. Big Pharma has a lot to answer for
English
@MichelleChilson @OceanGateExpeds You'd hope so but it's not
English
@Bushra1Shaikh I know, the 19 year old son is thing is what really gets me. I couldn't imagine risking my child's life & how the father must feel right now
English
The #TitanicRescue Sub has gripped the world no doubt but tell me, why would you do something like this knowing there was 0.01% chance of being saved if this were to happen.
Ok. Fine- explorers, adventurers. However to take your 19yr old son?
Sadness & irresponsible all in one.
English
@TullipR So sorry, Ritchie. Make sure you sue for medically-induced PTSD
