'This individualistic ethic is a common thread thru the film & Talankin's public statements. It plays well for international audiences - it removes the need to speak of the collective responsibility of the Russian nation & reparations owed to Ukrainians' #Oscars kyivindependent.com/oscar-nomina...

14 yrs ago Marie Colvin gave her life to tell the story of the massacre of Syrians, believing the world would care & stop the slaughter Lasting honour to a hero of humanity & of 🇸🇾, & our enduring sympathy to those who will always love and miss her Thinking of you today also, @reflextv.bsky.social

Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care. But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.

UNISON, the UK’s largest trade union, pass a motion condemning the nation’s top equality watchdog’s worrying trans rhetoric. Members of the public service union heavily criticised the EHRC.over its interim guidance on ‘single-sex’ facilities www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/17/u...

The latest review from JAMA Pediatrics has uncovered that 26% of trans youth have attempted suicide. That's actual attempts, ideation was even higher. The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common. The latest from our writer S. Baum.

75,000+ people were killed in the first 16 months of war in Gaza, 25,000 more than the death toll announced by local authorities at the time. Reports by the Gaza health ministry about the proportion of women, children & elderly people killed were accurate. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The real Tavistock Clinic scandal: 1,000 court cases that never materialised A FoI request for the data behind the media hysteria over the Tavistock Clinic presents quite a different picture By Marie Shrewsbury

There’s so much in-depth investigative reporting that’s been done now, establishing a CLEAR CONNECTION between ‘gender critical’ transphobes and the Christo-fascist far-right, it’s impossible for them to claim that they’re not enabling this regressive anti-gender movement! TERFism = Anti women

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

A new penal code published by the Taliban puts women on a par with “slaves”, with clauses stating that either “slave masters” or husbands can mete out discretionary punishment in the form of beatings to their wives or subordinates. #SaveAfghanWomen www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-a...

Cass has completely exposed herself - her lack of expertise, her bias, her misinformation. She calls other clinicians charlatans, when that description is much more suitable to the person she sees in the mirror each morning. She cannot be taken seriously. www.helenwebberley.com/p/i-have-ref...

A joint statement with @mams4transni.bsky.social

At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership. 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.

Shockingly casual & insensitive ignorance from High Court judge Outing a Trans person cd cause them great risk 'This "wave away as workplace gossip of evidence of what it means to be outed in an increasingly transphobic & violent society is deeply troubling' www.wearequeeraf.com/grim-decisio...

🧵 UK school Guidance on trans students repeats nonsense from discredited Cass review & aspects advocate conversion therapy. It places trans children/young people at huge risk. It is a disgraceful document putting the rights, dignity & needs of the child/young person low on the list of priorities.

How has a small group of right wing extremists managed to erode the human rights & the very right to existence of minority groups?

As long as we’re talking about sugar and its history:

Why are so many ‘gender critical’ transphobes found to be ‘in bed’ with the worst people?…. 🤔 Birds of a feather flock together.

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

FYI - The whole playbook of ‘gender critical’ transphobes is to instigate ‘lawfare’ around trans people existing, then to whip up toxic rhetoric in the media, so they can claim there’s “controversy” around the “trans debate” to lobby politicians not to support trans people’s rights! 😣

But OF COURSE ‘gender critical’ transphobes ALWAYS go for the “I DEMAND to speak to your manager” approach whenever they’re told they’re wrong!😖 And obvs they’ve got a bigoted billionaire to fund their obsessive vexatious ‘lawfare’, plus a radicalised ex-EHRC Board member lawyer to represent them!

This is a useful clarification on shameful IT piece during the week

Over the past decade, human rights groups and media organisations have documented allegations of arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and torture in detention centres run by the UAE and its allies. #Yemen www.bbc.com/news/article...

All of this. Disrupt the “violence comes from emotions running too high” narrative whenever you can. Patriarchal violence doesn’t come from someone losing control. It comes from someone using a very specific set of tactics to seek more control than they already have.

Clergy standing with the oppressed, not the oppressors, as they should do. 'Civil disobedience from Minnesota faith leaders resulted in the arrests of about 100 clergy who engaged in civil disobedience by blocking a key road at the International Airport' inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

The behaviour of ICE 'agents' shows that every one of tgem who has a family should be investigated by child protection services. And their partners should be given details of domestic abuse helpline & services.

Yeah for people not up to date on the back story, the conservative war on "Gender Ideology" actually started as a response to Gender Theory, and specifically the impact of Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble" at the United Nations summit for women in 1995.

It was never going to stop at just trans people! "Jack Murley alleged he was called homophobic names, including "fairy boy", by other staff members and told to sound "less gay" on air by a manager." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What transphobes dont realise or refuse to accept is that harassment and discrimination on grounds of gender identity is unlawful. So most of their output transgresses the law since their raison d'etre is persecution, vilification & harassment of trans people.

"just lie back and take it" An administration with a rapist mentality.

'This is what it is like to be occupied by people who hate you'. The correct response to Trump at Davos would have been to walk out of the room - for this, and hundreds of thousands of other reasons.

It is genuinely mind blowing that the BBC is attempting to argue that describing transgender people using transphobic slurs is 'neutral'.

Trans people, like gay people, have always been there.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."
