Oh my word, this is not sounding good at all 😐 #Glasgow

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.

Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

V good private eye this week

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

This is terrible from Starmer. Just absolute trash. And any normal voter looking at the new MP and then reading this description will think him mad.

Well, colour me shocked.

Commiserations to Angeliki Stogia, Labour's loss is no reflection on the hard work that she alongside many activists put into the campaign.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Green Party, I'm pleased you beat Reform and to have another working class MP in Parliament.

💔

That was a great game of hockey. Disappointed with the result, Canadians deserved the win there. #olympicIceHockey #winterOlympics

Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick, who he previously said was a "fraud", and told his followers that "this man is not to be trusted", his Shadow Chancellor

Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Denmark open the scoring against the USA and the camera pans straight to a Greenland flag in the stands 😂 #olympicIceHockey

Today's ruling on the EHRC's interim guidance is a disappointing, confusing and mixed picture.

A trans woman who is a customer in a café can use the women's toilets, but if she works there she might not be able to.

Once again everyday life is being made a legal labyrinth for trans people.

One month. $203 million in impact. Thousands of Minneapolis families hurting.

In just 30 days, Operation Metro Surge has resulted in:

$47M in lost wages
• $81M in small business losses
• 76,200 people facing food insecurity
• 8,700+ children needing mental health support

Giving up a 3 on 0 goal when on the PP 🤦 #FRAvCZE #olymipicIceHockey

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

BREAKING: Nigel Farage backs [checks notes] alignment with the EU

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!

The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

How will the government survive without the strategic genius who wanted to make Bear Grylls the UK's ambassador to Washington?

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

In a house, robots are painting, writing and playing music, with smiles on their faces. Outside, in the pouring rain, a human empties a wheelie bin into a refuse vehicle while another sweeps the street with a glum expression on her face. A third human is cycling down the road with a Just Eat food delivery on his back, while a fourth walks along the pavement, arms filled with packages from Amazon.

Seen on Mastodon. This is by Dutch cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards.

But it’s not even my birthday

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂

Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social
