"Virgin Active’s decision to abandon trans people is a shocking failure for a company that claims to be a proud supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. It’s time to hold them to account."
Virgin Active decided to restrict changing room access based on 'biological sex'. We're acting for, and financially supporting, a non-binary transmasculine person and a trans woman who are suing it for breaching the Equality Act.

We've published the Letter Before Action.
We’re suing Virgin Active over their transphobic rules | Good Law Project
Last summer Virgin Active banned trans people from bathrooms and changing rooms across the UK – so we’re taking them to court

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

#NowPlaying Townes by Steve Earle.

The songs of Townes Van Zandt.

I'd never knowingly listened to Townes Van Zandt, though many have said that I should. ( hello Neal!)

This is fantastic!

Paper Boats performing in The Guest House in Southport last night. Brilliant stuff. Love them. Added bonus of a pint of Wadworth 6X to take my dreams back to Cropredy festival and Fairport Convention in the 80s and 90s.

I'm sure they did, because they execute trans people there for existing. What a massive piece of shit.

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Deporting foreign criminals won't move the dial much at all because, where it's available, the data shows that the vast majority of VAWG is carried out white British men and (increasingly) boys known to their victims

Badenoch knows this, and it's despicable that she fails to make this clear

👏Do. 👏Not. 👏Play. 👏This. 👏Game.

If you play this game, consider yourself dead to me.

If you play this game, leave the lgbtq+ community, burn your pride gear. There is no irony play of this game.
You play this game you're a collaborator to the hate and violence and traitor to the lgbtq+ community.

Folks, as someone who watched an enormous amount of graphic footage in my time as a journalist and developed PTSD because of it, please do not watch the Charlie Kirk footage.

Trust me. Once it's seared into your memory you cannot delete it.

An absolutely astonishing album. Epitomises the breadth of their songwriting talents for me.
