These are the real people of Belfast. Thousands of anti-fascists rally against the far-right at Belfast City Hall today. They sent a clear message that racism is not wanted in their city. Things you love to see ✊❤

We can't look away from the images of families fleeing burning houses without calling this out as a pogrom, whipped up by influential actors who care nothing for the people of Belfast: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

You'll need to go for a long walk to calm down after you read how the UK got to here on trans rights. If you're only ever going to read one piece on trans people, this would be the one.

It’s time for my favorite cartoon of the year.

A picture of violence: The 30 women killed in Northern Ireland since 2020 'All but one of these women were killed by a man or it is a man who has been charged in connection with their deaths.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Big money has bought British politics 75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-refo...

UN on the draft Statutory Guidance: "It is essential that the outcome of this process enables transgender people to live safe, dignified, and livable lives in the United Kingdom, while continuing to uphold robust protections for all women and girls against discrimination and violence."

Hilary Cass, who is setting trans policies in the UK. Even she knows she's not an expert in trans people -

Trans kids are already pushed out of education. Denied qualifications. Denied a future. This will push so many more trans kids out of education entirely. How can I send my own daughter to school with this law in place? She would not cope.

New School Guidance announces: Full bathroom ban. Full PE ban. Full school trip accommodation ban. Trans kids will not go to the bathroom, do PE or go on any school trips. 1/

Appeasing authoritarians does not work.

A very deliberate sleight of hand by Badenoch here that I've seen from local conservatives too. The point is not to prevent kids from seeing this stuff, the point is that children, real children, are being abused by the creation of these images and that's bad even if the children don't see it.

If you need any more evidence that the BBC has been compromised by foreign government, it's currently reporting on Venezuela being bombed by the US like it deserves it.

As a carer, and a novice autistic photographer, getting outdoors into the ‘quiet‘ (wildlife is rarely quiet 🤣) of nature has a lot of meaning for me It’s an essential, not a luxury These are some of my favourite photos as they celebrate the ‘recharge’ nature can give #PhotoHour #EastCoastKin

“Get out of my fucking seat.”

Gyles quay, Co.Louth ✨

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

From the PSNI’s abject failure protect communities or pursue arrests during the August 2024 far-right violence to to the leaked non-intervention orders issued to PSNI officers during the paramilitary backed far-right Ballymena violence and pogroms - alarm bells should be sounding. [1/4]

Gosford forest park, County Armagh

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Also, her name was and always is Virginia Giuffre. And she has caused more positive revolution and change than anyone in recent years. Let her always be remembered and celebrated. You should still be here.

Isn't it interesting how the roundabout-painting crowd have segued so neatly into shouting at television adverts? 🤷‍♂️

As two drag queens are attacked & their attackers cheered on by male bystanders in Cork, the Irish Government's complicit response to the far-right has to be noted again. Here, 2 years ago British far-right agitators try to force Cork library to remove books that reference LGBTQ+ existence. [1/n]

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

'Solar System' quilt by Ellen Harding Baker of Cedar County, Iowa, US in 1876, she used her textile work as a teaching aid for her lectures on astronomy in the small towns of her state. Find out more in the first Womensart book, Unravelling Women's Art on textile artist rebels and pioneers!

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman." This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women." RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion. If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

As Wes Streeting comments to condemn some vandalism by trans activists has he said anything about this?

My sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the Global Sumud Flotilla. I'm home safe & will be followed by the other Irish people today. I'm just catching up and have much more to share but for now I am so so grateful for everyone's attempts to free us. Remember that Gaza is the story not us.

If this is not reflected in the actions of our governments, then we can no longer say that we live in democracies.

No, you're not going crazy. You did read this and also read about the PSNI arresting people in London for being members of a proscribed organization.

Look at these fucks who all of a sudden know what a proscribed organisation is
