The reason so many Twitter defenders (particularly those who pretend to be on the left or feminists) insist it is right and indeed important and a sign of defectiveness to leave, is guilt. They know they should leave. But they don't want to. They need the eyeballs and attention like it's a drug.

I was at a meeting yesterday, on a vegetable farm with the Landworkers Alliance, on the collapsing food supply chains. We spoke about trying to keep people fed. I'm seeing nothing on the food emergency we're in, as a super El Niño approaches.

When I say policing reform has failed, PSNI need disbanded - this encapsulates it. It’s a PSNI photo op at a 12th bonfire with the leader of paramilitary group - South East Antrim UDA, Larne. SEA UDA are active and prolific in violence and intimidation despite the ceasefire. More on them… [1/n]

I need people to understand that fascism needs misogyny to survive and builds much of its worldview on that foundation. They believe women are the incubators on legs that are objects either to be used for producing the white babies they want or prevented from producing the babies they don't.

Help me out here... If the fascists manage to "deport foreigners" will Loyalists go back to wanting to crucify Catholics and "Kill All Taigs", then? Fascism is a cult that needs victims. When one group is spent, it moves on to the next. People have short memories. This was last year.

Almost a week after the trail, numerous revelations from apparently in-the-know colleagues, yet not one DUP constituency office has been set alight. No DUP reps have been chased out of their homes. All the bogey-men the DUP tried to direct hate at over the years and it was them all along.

Did anyone else catch Ian Paisley Jnr on BBC Spotlight, recall an incident of sexual assault of a woman MLA in a bar by Donaldson, and state it wasn't "criminal behaviour"? Physically forcing yourself on someone and trying to kiss them is sexual assault. He wasn't corrected, at least on camera.
