'This individualistic ethic is a common thread thru the film & Talankin's public statements. It plays well for international audiences - it removes the need to speak of the collective responsibility of the Russian nation & reparations owed to Ukrainians'

14 yrs ago Marie Colvin gave her life to tell the story of the massacre of Syrians, believing the world would care & stop the slaughter
Lasting honour to a hero of humanity & of 🇸🇾, & our enduring sympathy to those who will always love and miss her
Thinking of you today also, @reflextv.bsky.social
Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care.
But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.
UNISON, the UK’s largest trade union, pass a motion condemning the nation’s top equality watchdog’s worrying trans rhetoric.
Members of the public service union heavily criticised the EHRC.over its interim guidance on ‘single-sex’ facilities

The latest review from JAMA Pediatrics has uncovered that 26% of trans youth have attempted suicide. That's actual attempts, ideation was even higher.
The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common.
The latest from our writer S. Baum.
75,000+ people were killed in the first 16 months of war in Gaza, 25,000 more than the death toll announced by local authorities at the time.
Reports by the Gaza health ministry about the proportion of women, children & elderly people killed were accurate.

The real Tavistock Clinic scandal: 1,000 court cases that never materialised
A FoI request for the data behind the media hysteria over the Tavistock Clinic presents quite a different picture

From Russia to the far right: the shadowy forces challenging the NHS puberty blockers trial By Alice McCool CitizenGO is backed by Russian oligarchs and linked to the far right. Good Law Project's undercover investigation shows that it's ramping up its work in the UK.
When the anti-trans campaigner Keira Bell announced legal action against the NHS's clinical trial of puberty blockers, she said the trial's parameters must be "out in the open". But she didn't mention her legal moves are funded by a pressure group backed by Russian oligarchs and linked to the far right. The case, which Bell is putting together alongside James Esses and the controversial Bayswater Support Group is backed by CitizenGO - a lobby group which campaigns against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights around the world, and is closely tied to the Kremlin and the Spanish far-right party Vox.
There’s so much in-depth investigative reporting that’s been done now, establishing a CLEAR CONNECTION between ‘gender critical’ transphobes and the Christo-fascist far-right, it’s impossible for them to claim that they’re not enabling this regressive anti-gender movement!
TERFism = Anti women
After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
A new penal code published by the Taliban puts women on a par with “slaves”, with clauses stating that either “slave masters” or husbands can mete out discretionary punishment in the form of beatings to their wives or subordinates.

Cass has completely exposed herself - her lack of expertise, her bias, her misinformation. She calls other clinicians charlatans, when that description is much more suitable to the person she sees in the mirror each morning. She cannot be taken seriously.

A joint statement with @mams4transni.bsky.social
At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership.
Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining.
Shockingly casual & insensitive ignorance from High Court judge
Outing a Trans person cd cause them great risk
'This "wave away as workplace gossip of evidence of what it means to be outed in an increasingly transphobic & violent society is deeply troubling'

UK school Guidance on trans students repeats nonsense from discredited Cass review & aspects advocate conversion therapy. It places trans children/young people at huge risk. It is a disgraceful document putting the rights, dignity & needs of the child/young person low on the list of priorities.

How has a small group of right wing extremists managed to erode the human rights & the very right to existence of minority groups?
Why are so many ‘gender critical’ transphobes found to be ‘in bed’ with the worst people?…. 🤔
Birds of a feather flock together.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
“How dare you, who the hell do you think you are? That you’ve some moral superiority over everybody else.”
