Tooting MP - also my MP - Dr Rosena Allin-Khan: “The US Ambassador should be summoned and challenged over Trump’s rampant Islamophobia. “Trump continually spreads lies. In London, we celebrate our diversity and reject racists and bigots. London is the greatest city in the world…”

While Trump and Farage drag our politics down - Labour too often ends up following. We can choose a different path. One of lower bills, warmer homes, and a liveable future. @greenparty.org.uk are urgently needed. 👉 join.greenparty.org.uk

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

A senior diplomat reacted with shock as President Donald Trump was delivering his speech to the United Nations.

You cannot find a better illustrative example of The Dunning–Kruger Effect than Donald Trump. What a f*****g idiot.

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

While Trump was displaying real-time cognitive decay at the UNGA, we were all cringing. Here is the Swiss Foreign Minister. We are all Ignazio Cassis today. Maybe everyday the Dolt in Chief speaks.

Yesterday, the president mangled the word acetaminophen while ranting about an imaginary link to autism — a performance so absurd it could’ve been mistaken for satire if it weren’t real. Today, at the UNGA, we witness brain rot in real time, broadcast for the entire world. Humiliating.

Removing flags 'cost council same as filling 200 potholes'

The rantings of a madman. The rise in anti-islamic rhetoric started with the war on terror, which was a euphemism for the war on Islam. The hate towards Muslims in GB, US and across Europe has been manufactured by Western leaders and media over the last 20+ years. They need to own it.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief warns world leaders that humanity has entered 'an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering.'

The Liberal Democrats are completely on the cracking down on Welfare train. Don't believe they are any different.

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

This is the thanks we get for lavishing him with a full state visit - more racist lies and smears about our capital city and its mayor. I assume the condemnation from Starmer will be coming any moment now?

As a Roman Catholic, JD Vance is subject to Canon Law. Sharia Law is the Islamic equivalent. It is the rules of their respective religion.

This must be that 'dignity and respect' he keeps telling cis people about.

This is the study that Jesse Singal and The Economist chose to deliberately distort in his latest attack on the trans community. Even if Jesse's bigotry overwhelmed his professional ethics, surely some editor at The Economist could/should have intervened to block publication. And yet none did.

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Before politicians and media get themselves into a mess. Let me clarify. For most Muslims, Sharia means living ethically, praying, and giving to charity. Any councils are advisory and are not above the law and are no different to Jewish Beth Din courts that have existed in the UK since the 1800s.

A con man always asssumes everyone else is also conninng. He'll be dead in a few years, so climate change won't affect him. Future generations will have their lives curtailed by his venality and stupidity, though.

I am not sure what is worse - trying to subjugate pregnant women by scaring them with anti-science or this vile climate denial at the United Nations today. Climate denial is hate speech. We need to start holding the US internationally responsible for their blatant violation of the no harm principle.

Unless something significantly changes, this is looking very bad for the Home Office It's the first time I've heard a Court of Appeal judge preface a question with the phrase "are you seriously submitting..." Two judges have said decision was contrary to the rule of law and rights of individuals

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

This is illegal & a dismissal offence within any company. I used to work in banking & if I checked any account (famous people) without a just reason to do so, I would be suspended for gross misconduct on the spot & then dismissed. If this has happened to you report it immediately 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️✊✊

Write to the NHS Trust or body holding your records (e.g., GP practice, hospital trust). Submit a SAR in writing (email or post), clearly stating you want: “All personal data held about me, including access logs showing when and by whom my records were accessed.” AND

We have been advised that ‘Gender Critical’ NHS staff have been trying to locate some trans people by searching the NHS computer systems. We ask everyone worried they may have been targeted, to make a Subject Access Request to learn who has searched your record.

This is dangerous and not unsurprising in the UK today!

This would carry more weight if you hadn't spent the last year cheerleading for the Cass Report

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Can’t explain it but of course they want to take away one of the only painkillers that’s safe for pregnancy, a condition that causes weird and unusual pains. these people WANT pregnancy to be a punishment and handicap. they want to control.

“Facts don’t care about your feelings.” Unless you’re a politician who gets anxious about people using their bodies in ways you disapprove of (like having an abortion or transitioning gender). Then apparently your feelings are a legitimate basis to ignore facts and basic human rights. It’s trash.

Adam Parsons: "Right now the Israel defence forces are in the midst of a huge ground offensive..." Deliberately destroying civilian infrastructure & turning an entire city into rubble in order to forcibly expel Palestinians from their land is not an "offensive"

Autism is back on the front pages. Why not read the book that my excellent @manchester.ac.uk @manchstm.bsky.social colleague Dr Bonnie Evans has published on the history of autism? It's open access and you can read it online for free. www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781...

Women. You’re responsible for autism. And for male violence, because you won’t have sex with the Incels, and for the fertility crisis because you’re not having enough babies. You know what you have to do. And without painkillers.

My bread maker. Elgar. Holiday cottages.

The Right: whyyyyy aren't (white) women (& let's face it, girls) having more pink baaaaabieeeessssuh? Also The Right: bitch you need to suffer more, or the heir you're brewing like a womby Starbucks might come out with a flavour of foam we've decided we don't like

Don’t forget, Helen Joyce was an Executive Editor at the Economist - they supported her in taking an extended sabbatical in order to write her anti-trans hate book, before she left to work full-time in transphobia! 😣 She also had a byline on her anti-trans articles in the magazine!

Labour have branded Nigel Farage’s migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious". They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".

In these awful times for trans people I've found great comfort in the observation of a friend in her 40s who recently transitioned that 'my female friends immediately embraced me as one of their own and my male friends just became a little more gentle with me.'

Mass protests have been held across Brazil against a bill that could grant amnesty to former president Jair Bolsonaro and others sentenced for their role in a 2023 coup attempt.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

What’s surprising is how many people on the left haven’t realised that the Green Party is the most pro-public ownership party on offer (as well as the most pro-workers & trade union rights) - that is now beginning to change but theres more work to so to spread the word bsky.app/profile/weow...

Seen lots of shares of a different graph of Green Party members, not properly updated. The one below is more accurate, & shows something seismic is happening *right now* - an embrace of a party that draws a line against hate & gets on with it. Be part of it! #JoinTheGreens join.greenparty.org.uk

No, BBC, it isn’t ’disputed’ or ‘unproven’. It’s utter bollocks.

The National Autistic Society in the UK was formed in 1962 (one of my dad's friends was a founding member). I remember meeting his autistic son in around 1972/3 - he'll be around 70 now...
