What happens when digital innovation isn’t paired with gender equality? My article for @NewLinesMag explores AI #deepfake abuse that targeted women in #SouthKorea this summer.
Shoutout to fellow reporter Hyerim Jang. Ty to @allyjung and many others who contributed 🙏

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

After a video appeared of Yanis Varoufakis feverishly dancing at an event in Moscow, he decided to justify his visit in an Unherd article. In it, he says he will be accused “of reciting Moscow’s speaking points.”
Here’s a list of his lines matched by those from Moscow. A thread:

Russians are absolutely not ready to compromise, and Varoufakis went to Moscow because he is a pro-Russian traitor and idiot, who tries to help Russia against Europe

Everyone’s favorite leftist (Chomsky) is now being exposed for his connections with Epstein. However, I find it peculiar that this is where many people’s red line with Chomsky begins, and not his years of genocide denialism and whitewashing of Assad/Putin’s war crimes. For years, Chomsky’s rhetoric has advanced the agenda of some of the worst human rights violators on the planet. And yet for much of the western left that was never a disqualification. The moment of reckoning with Chomsky should’ve come years ago. When someone tells you who they are the first time, believe them.

“None of us are free until all of us are free” is now turned into “Wait till we’re free and maybe we’ll get to you. Meanwhile be silent, your oppressor uses some of the wealth they extract from you to sporadically support other liberation causes”

💸✊ Billie Eilish called out billionaire greed, then backed it up with $11.5M to charity. That’s powerful. But let’s be real—our future shouldn’t hinge on generosity.
Billie gave 20%. We’re only asking for 2%, but we need policies, not charity.

Huntingdon is a useful corrective for those who think a train driver "just sits in a cab and pushes a lever", or that the role of train guard can be abolished without consequence.

🏠 A mansion tax? It's in the right postcode but its the wrong address. It wouldn't raise enough, it wouldn't rebalance wealth vs. work AND its messier and less targeted than a 2% wealth tax.
@cboswelljones, from our team, broke it down on BBC Politics Live this morning.

There are reasons to be critical of militarisation & govts' spending priorities.
But this is nationalism dressed up as working-class politics.
And it's dishonest. Sultana is replying to criticism of her on Ukraine (inc x.com/UkraineSol/status/1982…) but not openly

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left 🧵

JADE gets the biggest European music festival, GLASTONBURY crowd to chant “fuck you” to Reform, welfare cuts, transphobia, selling arms and justifying genocide is such a BAD B!TCH behavior #GlastonburyFestival
Last night I spoke to @PetrieHosken about the realities survivors face in family courts and how we can best support parents and children.

At National Education Union conference utter stupidity from the left - arguments that Ukraine has a right to resist, but not with weapons; and that arms to UA make no difference to civilian casualties, or make them worse.
But also the best of the left in action, and winning.

Easter are so soon, I can't believe.
Oleksandra Exter "Easter eggs" and Heorhii Narbut "Paska city". Easter eggs and Paska are the most important symbols of Ukrainian Easter 😍

We urge advocates for the 🇺🇦 and 🇵🇸 causes to avoid arguments which downplay the war crimes being committed against the other. Yes, W. powers are inconsistent + hypocritical. But the crimes of the 🇷🇺 and 🇮🇱 regimes are both grave and undoubtedly take inspiration from each other.

Julia Davies from @PatMillsUK: The top 50 people have more wealth than half the population (34m people)
Angela Epstein: "Maybe they earnt it"
"They didn't earn it more than people who work in the NHS"
"That was their choice"
Ah yes, Careers advice. Nurse or billionaire?
