wow who could have predicted that the front-desk staffer who claimed children were being given hormones for identifying as mushrooms and helicopters would have some credibility problems.

Just a reminder: No dunking, kids. Block on sight and keep it moving.

Fatal miscalculation by central government in assuming there is a single soul in Scotland who hates trans people more than they hate the English.

Every poll shows it's men who oppose trans rights more than women do, and never believe them when they say it's about concern for women.

For 'gender criticals', so much of what they do is just reinforcing incredibly rigid ideas of gender and gender presentation, and indeed for many this is precisely the point. It's no coincidence that they support cis dykes etc. getting challenged in bathrooms.

Lula immediately calling out police makes the way U.S. politicians did nothing but praise and fund police after 1/6 feel even more ludicrous

not gonna post the actual photo so it doesn’t spread but taking a pic of two in-love strangers bonding over their shared love of delicious cuisine and doubling down bc they were too excited about it/wanted to travel to eat more good shit is next level loser behavior

Every time a dictator faces a civil uprising it's 'oh look this is another CIA color revolution', and this literal intelligence asset of a fascist regime thinks he's speaking truth to power by shitting on the most vulnerable people in the world.

Enough.

You're pushing recycled garbage propaganda about the legitimate democratic struggles of millions of people to benefit your hosts in the Kremlin. The CIA doing bad things does not justify your shilling for Putin.
