No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The USA today folks. This is a coup.

🗣️ @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on FOX: “Minnesota is a dystopia. ICE is tear gassing elementary schools, disappearing legal residents, murdering 🇺🇸 citizens. They are making us less safe, not more. This is an emergency. The constitution is being abandoned by this administration.”

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

I’m really pleased the Council of Europe has voted to pass @kateosbornemp.bsky.social's resolution for a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy. Now it’s time for our government to follow suit.

Maybe controversially, this is a clear win and a symbolic win, but it doesn't seem like a huge win. There are few trans people using the Hampstead ponds. It's this minor local authority bylaw issue that's been blown up into a major thing because TERFs can't take no for an answer.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Here’s what seems to have happened to Alex Pretti. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"They fire at his body after he’s already lying motionless.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

The speed at which they got this picture to a fox news reporter means this was entirely about creating the narrative they want. The truth no longer matters, just being able to set the narrative. This post sums up the strategy. bsky.app/profile/bryn...

Ashley Mcbryde WOW. I was not expecting this. I loved her original version of this. This latest release goes on a whole new journey. Go Girl! @ashleymcbryde.bsky.social youtu.be/iI0BgAA6NwY

Why is this outsourced to a private company at all? This is the Civil Service. Their job is to do administration to a high standard. If this was a governmental task, it would be resourced and there would be contingency funds for system problems. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve seen drafts of this guidance several times before, but I’ve only just come across it in its published leaflet form.

Trans people were the pretext but this was about allowing more sexual harassment in the workplace. Yet, the media will fixate on trans people to make it seem like it only affected us, which it didn't since the guidance covering trans people was already enjoined. www.npr.org/2026/01/22/n...

Good. Trump’s Board of Peace is an attempt for him to set up an alternative to the United Nations. Trump will lead it forever and can name his own successor. It’s his attempt to rule as much of the world as he can. This must not happen.

I am not a Spurs fan but it's super to see them in flow with their wide players going past defenders and some daring attacking football. . . not to mention being 2-0 up. Have a party Spurs - you're overdue 👏👏👏 #spurs

YES. This is why I always resist the idea that GC activists are just 'women with concerns'. If the Darlington Nurses actually had concerns they would have kept their case private. They did what they did in order to hurt their trans colleague.

Wow. Companies such as Experian who offer to manage debt and build credit-worthiness also seem to sell credit to you! Beware. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes indeed it does.

Mark Carney’s dispassionate tone masked a stunning message of realignment: China is a “more predictable” trading partner than the US now, requiring stronger ties with Beijing as a “new world order” takes hold.

You can believe both (1) Big Tech is evil and needs to be properly regulated and (2) putting the blame for the crisis in adolescent mental health wholly on Big Tech is awfully convenient for a Government that seems determined to ignore the real problems young people face. You can, and I do.

No one in Government seems to give a damn about the kids dying in numbers - since Labour came to power I have helped four families who have lost trans kids to suicide - or are resorting to home-brew hormones because the NHS seems to hate them. But at least Rupert Murdoch is off your back, eh Wes?

Today is the birthday of Martin Luther King Junior. He lived through institutional discrimination and fought for equality and justice. Subsequent Administrations have honoured him and his work. This seems beyond the possibility for today's Administration. thekingcenter.org/about-tkc/ma...

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?" Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
