New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢 This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID. doi.org/10.1080/0958...

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

that's the thing they don't actually want sexy pictures they want to rob her of her consent

Video was leaked today of UK police setting dogs on and using CS spray on people seeking asylum, protesting their detention under the "one in, one out" policy, inside a detention centre (in case you thought the UK immune from what ICE is doing in the US): www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

357: News - New Year, New Horrors The TENE crew discuss recent world events: Russian nazi Denis Kapustin back from the dead, state violence in the USA, and nazi dating site goes kaput.

Just released this conversation I had with the queer Palestinian writer Tareq Baconi. We talk about his new book 'Fire in Every Direction', and share experiences as two queer arabs who grew up in two different cities: he in Amman, me in Beirut. I loved this conversation. youtu.be/4baenHObnIw

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me. Like, really got away from me. It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

Jewish American lawyer Samuel Leibowitz, who represented the Scottsboro Boys, in 1933 said, "I am going down there to fight the battle of 14 million colored Americans, and I am going down there to fight for my people because Hitlerism in Germany is Hitlerism in the South only by a different name."

@Negar_Anarchism: "Bad news is coming from Iran about the internet and telephones being cut off. The Islamic Republic regime is massacring people in a news blackout."

In 1751, Gadsden explicitly supported genocide against the Cherokee people, urging his fellows to "destroy as many of their people as we can." In 1780, he was part of the surrender to the British at the Siege of Charleston, where 5,266 were taken prisoner. He supported treading some times. No irony.

Hey NYC peeps. Rally to support trans kids, Saturday January 10th at 1pm in Union Square

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.

WOMEN are doing the vast majority of the front-line organizing against ICE, the vast majority of the front-line reporting, the vast majority of the legal observing, the vast majority of the care work, the vast majority of the corking and safety volunteering. It's so often women who are being killed.

These guys aren’t ICE. They’re much worse: CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC. BORTAC is a Special Ops / counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP. What the actual NSPM-7 holy FUCK.

355: Meir Kahane pt. 5: The Death of Meir Kahane & Echoes of Kach Boris wraps up the series on Meir Kahane by discussing the toxic legacy of the Kach party's ideology and comparing his writings to other far-right groups. www.patreon.com/posts/147253...

It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives. And cis "allies" still think this helps.

Lebanon today

Given Bayswater are now bringing a legal challenge does anyone in mainstream media want to actually report on the fact they allowed discussion of child abuse and have a DIY conversion therapy manual on their site?

The ways the world accepts and normalizes African suffering and death is so enraging

Trans woman facing bullshit charges following arrest at a protest. Please chip in if you can. chuffed.org/project/1587...

By far the longest strike in NHS history, if you live in Gloucester I would urge you to get in touch with the NHS trust and let them know how appalling this is - their rebanding would give them around 90p an hour more, it’s not even a big ask!

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.

I know we're all focusing on the chat gpt thing but this is an absolutely insane way for the observer and also glinner to refer to an ecofacsist who believes that trans people were invented by jews to eliminate humanity and that mass bombing campaigns should happen for the enviroment.

Let's try this again... Glad tidings we bring to you and your quim! We are fundraising this festive period. Earlier this year, the future looked bleak for the Vagina Museum. But we're still here, and there's many reasons for you to become a vital part of our future... www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

To be absolutely clear on this, one of our volunteers received a letter from a cabinet minister acknowledging the contents of the Discord leaks, including comments talking about serious abuse. The government knows exactly who they are including in these consultations.

348: Conservative Revolution in Germany pt. 1a - "Cosmic Pessimism" - The 19th Century Roots of CR Rey attempts to tell the story of the Young Conservative current of CR in Germany 1918-1932 (as per Armin Mohler), but fails and gets sucked in by the vortex of the 19th century (our old foe).

Exxon turned climate change denialism into a global campaign. They funded right wing think tanks across Latin America to spread climate denial and sabotage global climate talks. Exxon knew about the climate crisis since the 70s and still chose profit over truth.

In 1919, a Balfour memorandum explained, "in Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country... Zionism... is... of far profounder import than the desires & prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land."

Queer and trans ppl at a Louisiana ICE facility alleged they were recruited for unsanctioned work program, forced to do hard manual labor $1 per day. They said queer ppl were targeted by an assistant warden who stalked, harassed and sexually assaulted them.

“I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They beat us while we were naked day and night. Until our last day, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We endured every kind of torture, emotional and physical. We couldn’t even sleep. They told me they killed my children.” - released Palestinian prisoner

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

I've been scolded repeatedly since the Unite the Kingdom rally for "writing off" all the attendees as racist and let me tell you, doing that would be nowhere near as arrogant or as politically self-sabotaging as writing them off as just being fundamentally incapable of thought.

522,000 children starved to death in Sudan since April 2023

On this day in 1935 the Nuremberg Laws were introduced stripping non-aryans of citizenship & restricting the rights of Jews "...Nazis were more interested in how the U.S. had designated Native Americans, Filipinos & other groups as non-citizens even though they lived in the U.S. or its territories."

Any strategy to counter the rise of the far right that doesn't seek to dismantle the way wealth is distributed and allows fascists and their mainstream enablers to control public discourse is simply not serious

Today reached the bleak conclusion that the government and most of the media is both *too much* and *not enough* online. So much that they can't distinguish the ambient noise of Twitter from material reality. Not enough that they know what a groyper is or can tell when they're being played.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

With all the recent talk about the O9A following the church shooting in Minneapolis, we decided it to do a basic rundown on the history of the O9A

Mallory is right here. Much as what Linehan posted was, in my opinion, an incitement to assault trans women, all getting the pigs involved has achieved is giving that fucker another opportunity to play the victim.

This is closer to 170 days of an all-out strike - probably the longest in NHS history - and none of the left wing media outlets with dedicated labour correspondents seem to be interested? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rather than signal boosting this bruised thumb of a human, I'll share Sarah Ahmed: Whenever people keep being given a platform to say they have no platform, or whenever people speak ... about being silenced, you not only have a performative contradiction; you are witnessing a mechanism of power"

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

Still waiting for the widespread outrage over Robert Jenrick at a racist pogrom here pictured with founder of neo-Nazi group Combat 18

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Alcatraz started as a military prison. Some of its earliest prisoners were Hopi men who resisted the genocidal act of having their children removed and put in boarding schools. An American sees Americans doing an American thing and says "what are we, Germans?" exhibit number one hundred million.
