The EU says it supports LGBTQ+ rights.
Then why’s it backing a Eurovision that bans the Pride flag and calls it “neutrality”?
You can’t rainbow-wash in June and ghost us in May. #Eurovision2025 #Hypocrisy

"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps going on TV and insisting it’s safe to fly in and out of Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a string of extremely frightening outages and workforce shortages recently. But Duffy has now admitted he changed a flight booked for his wife on Monday so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark."

BUT PLEASE, #REPUBLICANS. Tell us again how #Democrats "hid" #Biden's "mental decline for years".

Ask yourself: "What else is this 'Most transparent president in history' hiding?" (start the list below.)

#Qatar gives Trump a $400M private plane, and Democrats like Chuck Schumer approach it like a scandal. #AIPAC dumps tens of millions into U.S. elections every year — openly buying loyalty to #Israel — and barely anyone speaks out.

The TV9 Bharatvarsh Executive Editor has been banned from entering #Ukraine for simply doing his job and duty and showing the truth- Ukrainian strikes on civilian areas and nuclear power-plants with western drones and artillery shells.
This pure #censorship to pressure the #press for favorable coverage.

“Video: we fixed the subtitles for ‘are’ racist PM’s ‘rivers of blood’ speech”

“Starmer’s appeal to racists and fascists needed a tweak”

Migrant scapegoating. Empty slogans. “British values” tests. If Starmer’s so tough on immigration, why won’t he tax the rich hiring undocumented workers? Oh, right—that would upset his donors. This is what happens when a party runs out of courage. Labour’s drift isn’t just uninspiring—it’s dangerous. #Hypocrisy #CitizenshipDebate #LabourPolicy #DisabilityCuts #ReformMomentum https://www.ft.com/content/f844df48-09a3-47bf-b467-a2cb5bc9a307

This is rich. Roberts is the same Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court that invented from whole cloth the doctrine of "presidential immunity" just for Donald Trump, so that Trump is absolutely above the law in pretty much everything, for at least as long as he remains in office, and he can't be prosecuted after (if?) he leaves for anything he did while in office.

The rule of law *did* govern. John Roberts, you're the one who threw that notion into the burning dumpster of the current republican-partisan-hack-dominated Supreme Court to do your old pal Donnie a favour.

Trouble is, Roberts FA'ed, but now *everyone* is in the FO phase.

I posted this picture to a femboy fashion subreddit, and I was instantly permabanned. Not even a warning. Moderators told me "Sexually explicit or lewd pictures not allowed". Ignore the fact I wore this outfit in downtown Chicago and nobody cared. Femboy spaces are more toxic and judgmental than mainstream society. The fact I have more freedom to dress as myself around cishet people yet around LGBTQ people I'm sexualized for what I'm wearing says a lot.

Nothing says #misogyny like the #US #DoD spending $42M on #Viagra while simultaneously outlawing the $5.2M they spend on gender affirming care for #trans people, does it?

Is holiness defined by rituals like praying on specific dates, fasting, or eating vegetarian food? A parrot can memorize scriptures, too. Let's delve deeper into what truly makes one holy. #spirituality #reflection #religion #hypocrisy
