In this story, there is a lot of support for trans people that you rarely see covered in the media unless they're being attacked. Businesses and individuals all standing up and saying 'I will not be a part of this' and I think that needs to be highlighted because it can feel lonely out there.

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban

Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining. Continue reading...

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

it's kind of wild that we are apparently able to have video calls with people in concentration camps who are saying what's going on there and everyone knows and it's incredibly public and no one in a position of power/visibility in the government is really doing anything about it at scale

holy shit. this is literally the strategy steve bannon was trying to use to rehabilitate epstein.
make sure to only protest CORRECTLY. also, i have insider sources at ice. also, epstein was NOT part of any conspiracy or intelligence network. i'm just a normal guy btw. not a fed. calling me a fed is actually an incitement to violence.

In our current electoral system, a vote for Labour is throwing your vote away. I don’t like it anymore than you do, but anyone serious about stopping Farage is going to have to suck it up, do the strategic thing and vote Green.

at the risk of being cringe or whatever, the making of Threads was a political act by CND people whose purpose was to puncture any sort of ignorant nationalist optimism about nuclear war & foreground the stakes in detente and disarmament for policymakers present and future
Threads director Mick Jackson has expressed worry over the upcoming remake’s focus on finding “hope even in the most challenging of times.”
“That one phrase worried me,” he tells Empire. “Hope is not part of nuclear war.”

Another thing. They went for trans kids because it's easier to target them than trans adults.
Trans kids you can threaten the parents with safeguarding and child abduction and force them to tolerate a lot of institutional abuse with limited outcry.

There's no outstanding scientific theory that would otherwise explain why puberty blockers are "harmful" for gender identity cases but not harmful for precocious puberty, beyond "we don't want the trans kids to be trans".

Catching up with all of Scotland in concluding that Anas Sarwar is not a tactical mastermind, but rather just some forgettable idiot.
EXCL: No 10 increasingly confident Anas Sarwar’s call for Starmer to stand down was *not* part of coordinated plot by l'ship rival.
Scots Labour leader spoke to several cab mins incl Wes Streeting & Johnny Reynolds plus deputy leader Lucy Powell & Angela Rayner - but did not reveal his plans.

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”
But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!
