If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

You spend a decade trying to understand the UK’s baffling relationship to class, you think you’ve finally started to get it, then you see something like this and realise you’re right back to square one.

He looks as though he's been caught cooking and also as if he mistakenly believes cooking to be illegal

DHS has requested expedited deportation proceedings against family of Liam Conejo Ramos The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

The United States government is retaliating against 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family for having the temerity to challenge their unlawful detention with a habeas petition.

That’s retaliation. This is Kilmar Ábrego GarcΓ­a all over again. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Liam is back home.

He is only one of the approximately 3,800 children in ICE custody.

Makes me suspicious about longevity/long term support for that electric drivetrain. Unless it’s a typo & it was meant to be a Β£100 discount?

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes? We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

"How *do* you plan to defend getting rid of the ICEBlock app while allowing X to generate degrading images of a woman ICE killed? Can Apple and Google even identify their values beyond their commitment to β€˜shareholder value’? What’s your fucking endgame here, guys?"

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

I know everyone is pointing it out but I do think it is absolutely reckless editorial practice to cite what an AI says, especially in a headline.

Grok has no authority, nor does it have a meaningful explanation for what happened, and citing it obscures those actually responsible for literal crimes.

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

Great thread and investigation. Exactly what we all assumed: the β€˜confidential information’ was wages and work conditions discussed in a worker-only Discord, not leaking anything about the game. Pure union busting.

Some BBC figures point to an effort to shift the corporation politically, dating back to Boris Johnson’s time in government. The Guardian has been told Prescott’s appointment as an external adviser had been pushed by the BBC board member Robbie Gibb, Theresa May’s former communications chief who helped set up the rightwing broadcaster GB News.

25 paragraphs before the Guardian gets to the truth, which even then it can't bring itself to have a position on (www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...).

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

So retro that people are bringing up Russian bots again as a reason why people are bigoted dickheads as opposed to accepting that polls show that at least 30% of people are just always like this and always will be

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents The move comes as an investigation into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is dropped, after his arrest over a post on X.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists.
1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents.
2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police.
2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors β€œWith fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
