✊ 🚨 Protest alert! Labour promised a publicly owned NHS, but now talk of private finance (PFI) is back on the table. 📍 Join @weownit.org.uk outside Labour’s Conference 🗓️ Monday 29 Sept | 8am–12pm 📌 Wheel of Liverpool Say it loud: NO NEW PFI in our NHS: forms.gle/oEM6AYsAEzC2...

I have an undergraduate degree in social anthropology (from a very long time ago). Everything that the "gender critical" movement (and their centrist apologists) insist as inviolable truth – all of it – was debunked in the very first term of the first year. GCs are fanatical fantasists.

The second best crisps ever made are back in Aldi

White people have always wanted to exclude black women, black people, from sports and unfortunately it seems like they're finally finding a way through the strong support of transphobia. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

but they don't think of trans ppl and women as *people* so it doesn't parse that a pretty normal reaction to "IF YOU TAKE T YOUR WOMB WILL KILL YOU" is "okay then remove the womb, please." that's to say nothing of the coercive sterilisation of trans ppl--historical in some places, current in others

Part of me thinks this is partly the point. Fewer doctors means fewer professionals to diagnose autism, autism diagnosis rates drop, MAHA can say their policies are working to eradicate autism.

“Labour is so cautious, it’s frustrating” it’s not caution, they just fucking hate the left. Their entire ethos is hating the left.

The media seems to have swallowed the “protecting women” from asylum seekers rhetoric when >90% of sexual assault perpetrators are known to the victim and about 95% of white British women have a white British partner. Again, they don’t care about facts

We agree with Ed Davey. And we are working with lawyers on possible action against Elon Musk and/or X for terrorism act offences. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy 5th anniversary to when X-Factor winner and general arsehole Steve Brookstein was sounding off COVID-19 conspiracy nonsense, and the Twitter algorithm played a blinder and placed my joke below his ramblings. Steve naturally took it in stride.

I've got an old flatmate staying over this weekend and desperately need some good answers to this.

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.

This is not OK www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Like many transphobic ‘GC’ parents, she is on a personal crusade: “prepared to discuss her child with any given person at any given moment, carrying with her a folder with photos of Lily at varying stages of their transition, “just in case anyone asks or wants to talk about it.” 😬

Report into oblivion

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

An insightful read showing how some parents become radicalised into ‘gender critical’ transphobia when their child comes out as trans. Here, one of the most unhinged leaders of the ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ movement is interviewed, along with their amazingly well-adjusted non-binary child…

Here's the scary part: "We know how Autism happens so we won’t let it happen anymore.” If they're saying it's because of taking Tylenol during pregnancy, then this could be their excuse to monitor all pregnancies in the US.

Weird. I didn't take any pain relief during pregnancy and my daughter is still autistic 🤷‍♀️

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

Bonjour à tous ! 🙏 #Mood C'est Lundi.......

"The British Psychological Society has warned that recent changes to equality law guidance risk causing confusion and damaging the wellbeing of trans people." www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

🚨 UPDATE My understanding is that GPEW now has legal advice and leadership are holding high-level discussions about how to handle the GWD stall at Autumn Conference As I mentioned before, members should be prepared for the likely presence of an anti-trans lobby group led by expelled former members

This is the greatest thing I read all day, this is also the first I am hearing about this (I know late to the party again). I am pleased an institute is willing to fight for trans and intersex people and hopefully EHRC will be demoted as it does not deserve its status and should be investigated.

This is what they are trying to do with Charlie Kirk, btw. Straight out of the Nazi playbook. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

In fact, according to a Reuters review of insurance data, about 15 percent of youth who receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria receive a medical intervention like puberty blockers or cross sex hormones. 15 percent get treated, 85 percent are diagnosed with no medical steps taken.

According to a State Department memo, the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development will cost taxpayers an extra $6.4 billion. That amount could save more than one million children's lives, and this administration is instead stealing our money to eliminate programs that save lives.

this, too, is political violence

A US-funded nutrition program was helping to keep this woman’s baby alive. Days after the program was cut, he died. https://cnn.it/4ndDYbl

if only donald trump’s ear was as strong as charlie’s neck, that firefighter might still be alive

Oh mate, I can't wait

Can't we just let the man rest in peace?

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

No he didn't, he made it all about him, said Jimmy Kimmel "has the right to be wrong", and then at the end of the show he called Javier Bardem and Meg Stalter antisemites.

Dearly departed little angel

If you’re watching this charlatan turning this funeral into a grift with QR codes, keep in mind that there are well equipped, *desperately* needed women, trans, nonbinary, and other non traditional clergy with training and degrees that people in that audience say are “unqualified” by default.

We're violent because....we get murdered a lot?

PSA: there’s more people facing hunger in the UK than the combined populations of London, Manchester and Glasgow.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Guys the point of sharing this was not to make wildly racist comments, jfc If you recognize these tattoos, please text us

Reform UK say one thing to the public – but vote the complete opposite in Parliament! Whether it’s voting against more rights at work or wanting to privatise the NHS. While they spread division and hate, @greenparty.org.uk is offering real hope and real change 💚

Climate change will continue to bring more flesh-eating bacteria. One way to address this would be to improve infrastructure to reduce flooding from rain/storms. Ron DeSantis has rejected over $11B in federal funds designated for such projects in Florida because he doesn’t believe in climate change.

Until the media consolidation in both the UK and the US are broken up into local ownership, nothing is going to improve.
