Thread; These are some of the wins Amnesty International has had around the world for women. No GC transphobes have campaigned for women to even 100th of the extent that Amnesty has. 1/n

In doing this, Rowling may accomplish what countless dictators and genocidal regimes have been unable to do, destroy a human rights organization dedicated to holding those abusing human rights to account. The key difference is that the authoritarianism is coming from Amnesty's own country.

One of the things I KEEP seeing is the so-called "Gender Criticals" claiming that they are leftists and are opposed to the right wing. Often this is only a few posts away from something like "- but if we have to ally with people who want to criminalise abortion so we can get rid of the transes"...

There is still time to submit your comment and tell the government that you don't want US research to be completely destroyed by politicians meddling in individual grants. You can submit your comments here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

Glasgow, if you live in the Possilpark area, the racist mob from earlier this week are acting the maggot all over again round your way. Maybe avoid, but also don't put PoC in harms way. I'd avoid getting a delivery takeout for example, these mobs like to drag them off their bikes & beat them.

Your regular reminder that if you want diverse representation in media, you have to support the indies. I can't give the world a prestige TV show. But I can give it queer voices. Indie scenes — animation, games, books — are worth contributing to as a creative and fighting for as a fan.

Reminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

Folks, there are only a few days left. Please help keep khōréō publishing. It's a fantastic venue.

URGENT, please share! Paid Gig. Sound engineers needed to rig/derig a 20kw system on a trailer stage following a last minute cancellation. Help make Trans Pride in Brighton happen - 17th-18th July. Get in touch!

At this point I genuinely think that Mitch McConnell is dead, and that Jennings, Thune and Barrasso are deliberately lying outright, with other members of the GOP complicit in committing fraud. www.thedailybeast.com/mitch-mcconn...

The most wildly successful/ horrifying marketing job I have seen in my lifetime is the right-wing using transphobic propaganda to persuade self-identified "feminists" to define womanhood by reproductive capacity and to have "feminists" argue that women are inevitably weaker & less capable than men.

JFC I just love liberal men explaining to me when it's "helpful" for me to use the phrase "hurts people" wrt male predators. bsky.app/profile/87mc... And then "helpfully" explains types of rape to me. 🫠

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP JUNO WITH HER DOG

Is he dead yet?

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

I haven’t seen *any* coverage of this and worry people have just become numb (or are too distracted by the World Cup, Knicks, etc.)

When Mitch McConnell dies (if he's not already gone) they're gonna try to shame us into being nice about him. We don't need to play along.

what the fuck did yall think she meant

If transgender people in sports bother you more than a pedophile covering up child rape, then you are disgusting.

Please follow this account and donate to help the dogs where you can. Many of these dogs were surrendered because the owner is homeless. Or ill and in hospital. Or in this case, a selfish tw@t. These dogs are healthy, trained, friendly pets. And too likely to be killed.

I just want to know what happened to the idea of reading books in order to expand your vocabulary, which I swear to you used to be a thing.

The scientists behind Climate.us are the same experts Trump fired because they were researching and reporting on climate change. Formerly NOAA’s Climate.gov. They didn’t disappear. They rebuilt.

I see that the BBC are being disgusting about trans women again. The BBC got taken over by Tories, and the government got taken over by bigots, and both disgust me.

This is a fantastic breakdown of a poisoned narrative. Read the thread. But let's also pause here for a moment to appreciate the fact that the same lot are demanding the destruction of all DEI initiatives, because imposition of "diversity and balance" is, according to them, destroying quality. 🧐

As a matter of URGENCY, PLEASE could 100,000 of you sign this petition in the next week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Este vídeo debería hacerse viral. Están aniquilando la clase media y la gente está en la inopia. Trabajar + alcanza para -. Aquí te explica como las élites necesitan a pueblos endeudados de x vida por créditos impagables. Te quieren POBRE y CONTROLADO. Cuando desaparezca el dinero físico, se acabó.

It's Juneteenth. Post your favourite Black fictional character.

sorry, aw the "Irish-Americans" in Boston gonnae huv tae just accept they're just Americans, if the Scots can drink yer city dry ye cannae really caw yersels Irish, aebdy *actually* Irish wid never be so unprepared for the party

It's strange that the Social Media bans in Australia and now the UK have come after Israel and their supporters have become horribly unpopular. You might suspect an ulterior motive.

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance. The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year. In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person £14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit If you can't afford that you are dying

Anti-fash counter-protests outnumber fash marches all the time and it would be cool if the press made a big deal about it.

"Why adopting Reform-lite rhetoric or intensifying enforcement measures rarely resolves the political problem for centre-left parties: the goalposts constantly move because the politics is not designed to produce resolution. It is designed to sustain a permanent sense of crisis and cultural threat."

As I understand it, when they proscribed Palestine Action it was on the back of evidence of coordinated attempts to organise trespass and cause damage. Everyone who supported them by so much as holding a paper became arrestable for terrorism. Are they going to do the same for "Patriot Platform"?

A lot of people are talking about one of the worst people on earth becoming a trillionaire. What isn't being talked about enough is the fact that the rules changes which were quietly slid into being in order to enable this, may endanger millions of pensions. robertreich.substack.com/p/musks-gala...

@tkingfisher.com You seem to like weird biology facts, so I thought I'd pass this on - I saw this today: www.science.org/content/arti... - and *immediately* flashed on Ed.

Unlike many people posting about Jane Yolen, I never knew her personally. But her books shaped my childhood. I didn't need to know her in person to know that I loved her. Even seeing her name brought me a thrill of joy. I am gutted at her passing, and immensely grateful that she existed.

"young masked men" Not white supremacists, not nazis, not terrorists, not violent white men. What words would have been used if the perpetrators were brown masked men and the victims were anglos?

The state of israel is a collection of thieves and murderers. They flattened palestine, now theyre rolling through Lebanon. Israel doesnt speak for all jews. It hides behind Judaism. When israel kills people, that's the fanatical extremists of that country, not jews worldwide.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves
