For some it is an orientation.

my concerns about this government are legitimate.

how about labour fucking deal with my concerns for a change instead of chasing the nazis on x?

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

New university free speech complaints system to come into force this year Universities could face fines of £500,000 or 2% of their income if they are found to have failed to protect free speech.

This reporting suggests Bridget Phillipson's legislation will muzzle those of us who want to protest against Far Right speakers who say our Black family are intellectually inferior and our Trans family are all potential sex offenders and are mentally ill.

What an unbelievably terrible Government.

THE PRIME MINISTERS SHOCKING & SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN AND WHY WE MUST OPPOSE IT YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its an absolute disgrace

hey #FBPE dorks,

pay attention.

if you want to rejoin the eu you're gonna need to start telling labour to restore our healthcare and civil rights.

Basically this says: you can either be anti-trans or be someone who enjoys the core values and benefits of the European Union, but you cannot be both.

People have loved having Green councillors in Byker, Elswick, Jesmond and Ouseburn. They want more!

It’s hard work but with street clean ups, money off district heating bills and more support for anti-poverty groups, it’s clear @nclgreenparty.bsky.social gets results for our communities!

I just don't think you needed to say "rightly or wrongly the national interests trumped the victims of Epstein".

Because it was obviously wrongly and the suggestion it could have ever been anything else is exactly why we are where we are as societies and nations.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Our latest paper is out today in @jamapediatrics.com - discussing:

(1) How structural and mental health disparities can lead to competitive *disadvantages* for trans youth in sports

(2) The negative impacts of exclusionary sports policies on mental health

A bright yellow kiosk stands in stark contrast to the background.

One of my favorite Yugoslav designs is the K67 modular kiosk. Injection molded modular plastic building often used for newspaper vendors, coffee shops and info kiosks. Could be linked together like legos. www.archpaper.com/2023/01/univ...

It’s the PM’s job to appoint the best people he can to roles he personally controls.

If he makes ambassador to the USA one of those, he gets credit for it going right, and blame for it going wrong.

Making Olly Robbins an enemy, or a scapegoat, would be neither appropriate nor wise. /36. End

I’m confused. Aren’t they effectively protesting against the bigotry of the woke? Shouldn’t protest against the bigotry of the woke be banned?

The Independent article on this is even more absurd, because alongside the OfS and Phillipson citing "concerns about foreign interference" there are comments from Free Speech Union; an org of eugenicists and gender criticals that's funded by Peter Thiel as well as Viktor Orban's MCC think tank.

As a PhD researcher, as someone who actually cares a lot about my research and academic freedom, I find this all so deeply, deeply tedious.

The actual threats to academic freedom are coming from defunding our universities – as anyone actually in the sector can tell you.

Handy Guide:

✅ Free Speech: When GCs who had no relation to my University complained to try and get me kicked off my course

❌ Not Free Speech: Exercising one's right to peaceful protest against those advocating your exclusion from society – on the campus you have to live and work in

The protests are protected by the right to Freedom of Speech…

…you can’t be a “Free Speech Absolutist” unless you protect those too.

They don’t.

Well said. Breakfast for 0.1% of primary kids, diluted workers rights & a weak renters’ charter, doesn’t make up for increasing poverty, demonising, ostracising & endangering large sections of society as well as trashing the environment and removing democratic freedoms, one Bill at a time

One step backwards, two steps forwards…

Voters have just today left to register to vote for the local elections taking place across England on 7 May. Anyone who wants to take part must register before 11.59pm tonight.

Registering takes minutes at gov.uk/register-to-vote. Just need name, address & National Insurance number. Pass it on.

the labour party are quite literally pro-rape.

your party actively wants women like me to get raped as punishment for daring to exist in public.

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.

Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

An argument can also be made that Trump’s extremism has forced a lot of people to recognise the danger of relying on oil. Maybe this is wishful thinking or too little too late, but…

this is a garbage article noone should bother reading but if you do here's an archive link

Tldr; Stonewall successfully got bigot bothered into the fucking ground and is working alongside the bigoted guardian UK to try and put a positive spin on it and hopefully come out the other end smiling.

Transgender woman 'raped 2,000 times' in all-male prison 'It was hell on earth, it was as if I died and this was my punishment'

remember during the gorton and denton byelection where @lucympowell.bsky.social tried to smear the greens as pro date rape?

labour are pro-rape. they are pro the raping of trans women

remember that whenever you go to the ballot

this is called 'v-coding' and happens when we're put in male prisons

the reason stonewall doesn't get donations anymore isn't bcos of their 'uncompromising position on transgender rights'.

stonewall 100% compromises on our rights and has done from day 1. they went along with cass, the sc ruling, the new section 28.

they don't get donations bcos they capitulated.

YES! 😀
