When will this regression end? Conversion therapy? It was someone who was on the board of sex matters who played a major part in me resigning from Monkey Cage because they like to bully people into silence
Stop Sex Matters lobbying for conversion therapy In just one week, the Council of Europe will be voting to ban conversion therapy. This would be an incredibly important step to stop the rollback in the rights of LGBTQI+ people. But Sex Matters is infiltrating the vote. Sex Matters have set up a tool for transphobes to email the MPs that are on the Council, asking them to vote against a ban on this cruel practice. We have to stop this. Here's what you can do - it only takes two minutes. 4/4 Email the MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don't have to bend down to Sex Matter's transphobic threats. They can stand up for what's right. Comment to get the tool in your DMs. We only have a week but, together, we can stop hate.

The #NationalLottery wants everyone to know about the good causes they support via @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk – but they’re also advertising on outlets that spout hate and climate denial like GB News and the Daily Mail.

I do think British people need to understand that this is why Musk’s money is aiming at the UK now. The BBC and the NHS are trusted English-language sources that people in the US can access so the people who favour this disinformation would like to destroy them.

This does feel like a major crossing of the Rubicon – the world's best-funded and in many ways most powerful public health agency is now actively pushing disinformation.

I know there's a *lot* going on to care about at the moment, but this one really is significant, and matters well beyond the US.

The CDC website now disseminates disinformation about vaccines, claiming erroneously that infant vaccines might cause autism, when we know conclusively that they do not. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous this is. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975

“It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

BBC bans Evan Davis from informing the public on heat pumps. “As the world has ‘progressed’ in the past few months” the BBC “has become concerned that anything like this - informing people about heat pumps - can be interpreted as treading on areas of pulic controversy” youtu.be/RJPKgngqoX0?...
