The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Otherwise you are no friend of mine; no ally to the vulnerable, no believer in science and reason, just another bystander in an abomination that will come for you and people you love next.

Speak up, and don't let these legitimised terrorists take us back to a time before civil rights. Trans people are facing a quiet genocide - officially. Whenever and wherever you can, speak up.

There's enough hatred and bigotry in the world. Imagine being so cruel as to fabricate a new one. Stand against Rowling's Sex Matters, Putin, Trump, Cass, Streeting and Starmer.

but having singled out the smallest minority, the fascists have a working template to deny healthcare and basic liberties to everyone else those governments want to oppress and scapegoat as they distract people from their failure, corruption and crimes.

But we have numbers. Stand up for your trans friends and family, because today their civil rights are being trashed, their access to medicine withdrawn, scientific expertise rejected or warped;

None of this just about transgender people. Discrimination in government, law, institutions, medicine and schools is an opening salvo from the same far right that will follow the playbook to further degrade the rights of women, the disabled, minorities, and all of us.

A still from Twin Peaks featuring David Duchovny as the character Denise and David Lynch as Agent Cole. The text reads: And when you became Denise, I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die.

Screenshot of QueerAF newsletter. Text that reads: Two experts in genocide have warned the US may already be enacting one towards the Trans+ community. Two former presidents of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) have warned that United States may already be in the early stages of committing genocide against Trans+ people - So Informed. Under international law, the definition of genocide is restricted to "acts aimed at destroying, in whole or in part, religious, national, ethnic, or racial groups." But Dr. Henry Theriault, the IAGS president from 2017 to 2021, told Important Context that "these legal categories may be too narrow—or too narrowly interpreted—today." Dr. Gregory Stanton, another former IAGS president and president of Genocide Watch, said the attacks on Trans+ people in the US represent a “genocidal” attempt “to destroy a gender group.” Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term “genocide” in the 1940s, believed it to have a broader definition beyond religious, national, ethnic, and racial contexts, including "political groups, cultural groups, social groups, economic groups" - Lemkin Institute. The comments come as a new poll has found that an estimated 400,000 Trans+ people have "fled" their home states to move to safer ones since Trump's re-election - Erin In The Morning.

Recognition of the new gender identity following gender reassignment:
6. The Regulations should indicate that, for employment purposes, a person is to be
treated
as
their reassignedsex on completion of gender reassignment, i.e. when he or she is
living permanently in the new gender. However, it should be clear that this provision applies
only to equal opportunities legislation (i.e. SDA, Equal Pay Act and section 62- 64 Pensions
Act). This would then ensure that anysearches carried out by the Police or Prison Service are
still subject to the provisions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and the Prisons Act,
which prohibitsearches by oppositesex. The purpose of this provision is to enable a person
who has gender reassigned to have all the protection of the SDA and EgPA. For instance, they
should be able to take advantage of a job for which there is a Genuine Occupational
Qualification for the new sex. For example, it is envisaged that the provision would allow a
suitably qualified male to female transsexual to be able to take up employment in a singlesex
women's hospital. They could themselves be treatedas a comparator bya male applicant.
There are of course difficulties in determining when gender reassignment is completed. Many
transsexuals do not undergo reconstructive surgery; and hormonal treatment will last
indefinitely, whether surgery is undertaken or not. The policy anticipatesa point at which a
person who has reassigned will be treated as their new sex for the purposes of employment for
which there is
a
GOQ for that sex. In doing so, a distinction will need to be made between
those people who are still in the process of reassignment, to whom temporary exceptions may
exist in certain circumstances. \t was therefore considered appropriate that this process would
“end” on completion of surgery; or, where that is not planned, the end of the two year trial of life
test. (During the period of the life test, a
person would be undergoing gender reassignment) It…

2/ The instructions are just… fascinating? Well, every piece of public record I’ve uncovered on this subject so far has been fascinating, but this paragraph is exceptional.

It contradicts the Supreme Court directly, comprehensively, and unequivocally.

Arrest made in ‘hate-based’ DC shooting death of transgender woman - WTOP News A 38-year-old man was arrested in North Carolina and charged with the “hate-based” murder of a transgender woman in Northeast D.C. in July, officials said.

A trans woman was murdered by a man who kept taunting her for not being a woman.

This is exactly the kind of hate that has been incited by Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, and Chaya Raichik.

They got exactly what they wanted, a dead trans person killed because of hate.

RSE guidance is “patently and cruelly transphobic” - community responds to ‘Section 28 2.0’ curriculum It has taken a "trans exclusionary" approach and received widespread condemnation from the LGBTQIA+ community

The new Relationships and Sexual Education guidance released by the DfE.

It drastically limits what can be taught about Trans people. It's going to lead to the same culture of silence, ignorance and shame that S.28 did.
