“The whole affair made something clear: for many on the right, their past tolerance of gay and bi people who aligned with them on a few pet issues was never rooted in principle. It was always about convenience. We were never truly accepted — just temporarily useful. And now that some of us have outlived our political utility, they’re more than happy to throw us to the wolves the moment the opportunity arises.”

What a tit. I mean I’m glad they acknowledge the leopard is eating their face now, but what a tit.

The Telegraph host Ukraine: the Latest podcast. Their international coverage and work is very good.

Weakest president ever. FGS imagine another US president just meekly passing on a Russian threat rather than saying what the USA is going to do about it

"Guided by humanitarian considerations, today from 18:00 00:00 from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order that all military actions be stopped for this period."

Fuck this guy and his 'humanitarian considerations' 3 years after invading his neighour, killing its people and stealing its childen - he finally deigns to give a whole 2 days reprieve (likely to be broken) because he's finally felt a teeney bit of pressure from t'old Donald.

Credit to her for doing the right thing. Repeatedly since the invasion on 2022z

I’m sure we all hope we’d be as brave in her situation

“When tech people got involved in the government, they thought Trump was going to take more of a surgical approach and act less like a wrecking ball."

What about his first term, insurrection and campaign and everything about and around him suggested it’d be anything other than a wrecking ball approach???

Is it because he’s an invertebrate scum-sucker whose moral dipstick is about two drops short of bone dry?
