    I mean, this is nice and all, but it's also kind of wild that this wee nod to transgender solidarity is getting whole articles dedicated to it across British media. Are we really still at this point, UK huns?

    "Her guiding principles: centring dignity, empathy and care; smiling often and capturing other’s smiles; supporting others and letting yourself be supported too" beautiful tribute by a friend, for another we have lost. Thank you

    Here for it! 🔥

    Sex is great, but have you ever had a man volunteer to step in and cover your workload while you’re on your period? 😍 This is the practical feminism we need, thank you.

    Big deal for a one-time Tory leadership candidate to argue for free public transport in the name of energy security and combatting climate change. Where's Labour?

    During course of Ukraine crisis across Europe: • Reduce speed limits to 50mph • Make all public transport free • Uber to open technology to allow free civilian ridesharing This would reduce demand + price of Russian oil, have a catastrophic impact on Putin + Help Environment

    Here it is. This is the clip from yesterday's interview where I'm asked - for first time ever - about Brexit-Trump-Russia. "These vital questions of national security have been interpreted as about politics. And it's not about politics. It's about power. And about Putin."

    When police violence spikes on Wet'suwet'en territory, so does Coastal Gaslink's social media ad buying. Must read article on CGL's attempts to buy support as they build without consent, via :

    “Sumy was passionate about everyone she photographed. She built trust, respect and love with every woman before taking their photograph. ‘I love you’ were three words Sumy never withheld. Her hugs were deep and full of emotion.”

    Nigel Farage's new campaign to push for a net zero referendum is formally launching, and the similarities with Brexit are striking, beyond just the cast list. Example 1: catchy(ish) slogan.

    Canadian oil & gas firms appear to be using "financially motivated, politically oriented, micro-targeted" social media campaigns to ‘Indigenous-wash’ their efforts to build pipelines on First Nation lands, I tell 's . H/t .

    I've fact-checked the claims that Jeremy Corbyn is "pro-Putin". It turns out that no politician has been more consistent or more prescient about Putin than Corbyn. When he warned about Russian donor money he was mocked. My new column for Middle East Eye:

    Can't get it out of my head that Europe cried about a 'migrant crisis' in 2015 against 1.4m refugees fleeing war in Syria and yet quickly absorbed some 2m Ukrainians within days, complete with flags and piano music. Europe never had a migrant crisis. It has a racism crisis.

    If you’re in Kampala head to Dancing Cup at 3pm today to celebrate Sumy ❤️ I’m sad to only tune in on zoom, but cherishing this photo I found. At the time we lolled about how frumpy we looked compared to , but now I think Sumy looks just perfect. What a superstar.
