Campbell X

The media will gleefully interrogate any politician that suggests any policy that’s even remotely progressive with ‘how will you afford this?’ But not ask the same for a war that’s costing a billion a day.

Weird complicit bastards

Good. The death penalty must be abolished. It is always always always wrong. It is demonstrably racist. It kills innocent people. But it would still be evil even if it wasn’t/didnt.

Men are using the law to gaslight women – we’re fighting back | Good Law Project We’re pushing back against the men who are trying to make weapons out of laws designed to protect women

We're seeing a really horrible new trend of wealthy and powerful men using the law to gaslight women.

And we're going to the High Court to get an anonymity order against one of them discharged.

Lol. They need to pay you!

We’re living in the world where everyone has brain damage from Covid and the increased proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

"Is sex biological?" I fucking wish. Biology is easier to change than societal attitudes.

At this point I think there is a concerted effort to undermine voices who resist the patriarchal norms

Reform accused of ‘pitching for votes of misogynists’ with plan to scrap Equality Act Charities have warned that scrapping the Equality Act would be a ‘significant step backwards’ for discrimination protections in Britain

"Jo Maugham KC, executive director of the Good Law Project, accused her of 'pitching for the votes of misogynists, homophobes, racists and antisemites, who are the only people who benefit from removing discrimination protections'."

Im not a normal person. But same yeah.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.

Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

Paving Paradise (+ filmmakers Q&A) A collection of films that open up global conversations, from the environmental implications of AI to the ongoing political discourse around colonialism.

My short experimental film (Untitled)2025 screens in the London Short Film Festival. It is an evocative incantation to trans and non-binary ancestors forgotten because of land theft, colonisation and enforced binary genders which damage us all. www.shortfilms.org.uk/programme/pa...

“God damn them all.”

Your bravery is powerful and inspiring.

Here is a bit of my resignation speech from last night

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical. How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)
