The bill we have co-created does not decriminalise violence against sex workers, including rape, exploitation, or trafficking. The current client criminalisation and brothel-keeping laws have failed and have actively made the lives of current sex workers worse.

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Brianna didn't die because of her self-harm or social media use. She was murdered in a transphobic hate crime.
Here is the interview I gave to Owen Jones at the time, as the only trans journalist reporting on the trial of her murderers.

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.
Don’t recall BBC News leading with any of the myriad marches for Palestine, #PeoplesVote or #Rejoin. How very odd. How very strange. How very expected.

Fascist commentators and neo-nazis picked up on the posts and began to spread them on X.
What happened next is very funny:
Bluesky immediately caved to the fascist pushback and used the article from the Federalist as a list to decide who to ban.
Me, bree, Gretchen Felker-Martin and others.

We literally have no idea why Kirk was shot and we won't until the person who shot him gets caught but he's immediately assumed to be a victim of political violence because his life is worth more to the ruling class
