it really is remarkable *how mild* the op-ed that she wrote was. It really shouldn’t matter what she said, but I think they chose to make an example of her precisely *because* she didn’t do anything remotely wrong. They wanted to show they could do this to anyone.

Iran is the only one meaningfully challenging Israel as it bombs white phosphorus plant White phosphorus burns at 800°C, melting flesh down to the bone and its use is a war crime - Israel have used it in Gaza and Lebanon

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

"If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against end times fascism."

Over 2,000 Britons served for Israel amid Gaza genocide Exclusive: Declassified obtained data on the number of UK nationals in the IDF. We are publishing it for the first time

❗️The revelation that over 2,000 Britons served in the IDF during genocide raises major legal questions for the UK.

The International Court of Justice has advised all states they are obligated to refrain from helping Israel maintain its occupation.

Israel is a top 10 global arms exporter. In 2024 arms exports rose to $14.9 billion, with 54% of those purchases made by Europe (MOD data). The UK spends millions of pounds each year on “battle-tested” arms from Israeli companies.

This 👇 is what "battle-tested means".

This admission alone would be sufficient for a war crimes conviction. He’s just openly bragging about launching a war of aggression and plunder. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Button press meme. Transphobic British Press unable to decide which button. One is labelled "neurodivergent kids aren't really neurodivergent" the other is labelled "trans kids are actually just neurodivergent"

Here we go

'Manufactured panic': Immigration not near top of most people's concerns, poll suggests The cost of living, health, crime, and housing are much higher on people's lists of personal worries, a YouGov survey has suggested. Friday 31 October 2025 04:22, UK

We have had surveys that have shown us exactly this in the UK, France, the EU etc for many years

What we need to ask ourselves is why have journalists, politicians, academics etc chosen to focus on surveys that hype immigration

This is what I explore here:

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is really the main thing everyone should be thinking about. At this point just being out as trans or "looking like" an immigrant in public or affirming that gender is complicated or that racism & misogyny are bad or that Trump et al are fascists - are all variously risky. So do *something.*

Le Guardian reserverait-il sa mauvaise foi a sa lutte absurde contre les trans...

Yes. It's genocide The shocked intake Of breath. Pursed lips. A tut. A judgement on the speaker. Such an utterance cannot be allowed to stand. Yes, it's genocide

Yes, it’s Genocide

Same from the transphobic Guardian. Ridiculous

Anyone i know planning to attend the SRHE this year?

This is the racist intimidation outside people’s homes the government and BBC are calling “peaceful protests”

There are many ways in which the U.K. is still supporting Israel which it could instantly stop and under Genocide Convention as a signatory state is bound to stop

All else here is a word soup and hubris

1. In May I published my peer-reviewed research into the effects of the Starmer-Streeting puberty-blocker ban. TLDR; lots of children have already been harmed. TW; this is a hard read.

There is a term for adult men who deliberately harm children…

Signed - other countries have made this possible

Three headlines, one on Israel dropping a 500lb bomb on café, one on senior doctor killed, one on UK MPs banning Palestine Action

These three headlines tell you everything you need to know about the state of the liberal order

All this discussion about what language is ok to use in opposition to a genocide and IDF is out here shooting people for wanting to eat

IDF soldiers are telling the press they feel like the Nazis targeting the Jews

And you're worried about a phrase? A PHRASE? fuck you guys

Be ready to be shocked and offended at university, students told Guidance has been published by the Office for Students on new free speech rules coming into force this year.

“Students should be ready to be shocked and offended at university, according to the man in charge of ensuring free speech on campuses.” Sorry, but… why?

Excellent work from Natacha.

This section on new NHS gender services for children is really worrying.

“We (a healthcare service for trans children) may not be gender affirming”
