The HHS report on gender affirming care released it's updated report showing they stacked its authors with anti-trans hate-group affiliated members, several of whom aren't even doctors with any sort of clinical experience. They selected their own ideologically friendly peer reviewers. It's a joke.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

LOUISIANA… Manhattan-sized Meta data center with no community input… sound familiar, Memphis?

Important new paper shows that mass casualties from extreme heat are likely at the current level of global warming and will only get worse the more the world warms: “mass mortality events remain plausible at near-future temperatures despite current adaptations to heat” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Republicans calling Mamdani an Islamic terrorist, then honoring Mohammed Prince "Bone Saws" bin Salman Al Saud with a White House visit is the most audacious display of GOP repugnance I've seen in about the last hour. If a nonstop flow of dumpster juice is your thing, they'll never disappoint.

Oh wow, this @roycerk2.bsky.social piece on Australia at #COP30 @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social turns up a at a carbon offsets lobby group event - and misses the fossil fuel exit roadmap event. reneweconomy.com.au/after-a-delu...

So much opportunity for Australia to lead, and so much apathy by decision makers

“Soldiers testify that they have been told to burn down houses they have stayed in by pouring oil on curtains, books and mattresses.” Read @aloner.bsky.social’s report on the destruction of Gaza’s cities.

'Australian values' according to whom, FFS? Given that most of the Libs' policies now seem straight from the 1970s, I'd be fairly sceptical they have the remotest idea what this country's values actually are.

U.N. Security Council votes for international force for Gaza

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

The far-right Turkish Grey Wolves remain a significant presence in Germany, targeting football and MMA fans.

I have many male friends, colleagues, & a husband who get it. I feel able to vent to them about misogyny/patriarchy. I can't stomach placating mediocre - or worse - men as they remain unevolved & refuse to examine their own actions. Don't prop up this behavior; it won't serve you in the long run.
