Not a cat on stilts wearing a trench coat. Definitely not a cat. Much less, a ringtail (aka the Miner's Cat). No, sir-ee! Ursula K LeGuin destroys JK Rowling's writing any day

Yknow i think the whole “respect and dignity“ line about trans people might make sense when you consider they think being trans is inherently undignified and therefore standing in the way of transition and even conversion become ways to give trans people their “dignity“ back

DIGNITY?!?!? OH YEAH! Cuz only his rich white mates are human right? Ffs

It's literally the playbook. Even more insane that this is being done at a time when we are less than a year away from some of England's most racist riots and when the same is happening in Nor. Ireland

Dismissed as 'divisive' while the real threat built power in plain sight, Trans+ people of colour have been sounding the alarm for years Warning that, fueled by racism, misogyny, transphobia, and homophobia the far-right is not just coming after Trans+ people Now the right is emboldened

Having stripped trans people of their right to be treated with dignity The Times is now coming for people of colour.

🔴 The astounding hypocrisy of the UK’s DOGE-obsessed politicians When we exposed obscene levels of fraud and waste – with billions handed to political donors and profiteers – Farage, Badenoch and co. were nowhere to be seen... 📝 New post 👇

Wild stuff from Kishwer Falkner: the UK lost on Article 8 in Goodwin and the Supreme Court in For Some Women Scotland did not agree that Article 8 didn't apply - it didn't address Article 8 at all.

"Females" are just too weak to do anything, really [News Letter letter]

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

women are apparently flooding to the greens from labour. wild that @adrianramsay.bsky.social and @elliechowns.bsky.social are looking to embrace transphobia. ‘gender critical’ is a misogynist movement and i bet labour are losing a lot of women precisely bcos labour are ‘gender critical’.

This ICE shit is so crazy that it has New Yorkers openly complementing LA

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Hell yes

Starting to look like the great political realignment has begun, with previous Uniparty voters deserting them as they finally realise theyre all the same. The far right are going reform, anyone marginally to the left is going green. Its the new left / right divide.

I watched the Committee today, and the state the EHRC has ended up in is shameful. Unable to answer basic questions and making outrageous comments about trans people's human rights. It's time for us to intervene. And we can do that by turning up in Parliament and telling MPs to take action.

For anyone who doesn't know "Article 8" is the European Convention on Human Rights right to a private life This is the head of the EHRC saying that she does not believe that *anyone* has the right to privacy when it comes to being trans or cis Brazenly immoral, legally untrue

I 100% guarantee you that absolutely no-one crossing one of the world's busiest shipping routes in order to seek asylum was doing it based on the timing of the spending review.

“The more people who say that they can ‘live with’ racism and misogyny in a candidate, even if they’re not enthusiastic racists, the more the enthusiastic racists and the fascists become stronger.” Thoughtful interview with Judith Butler on staying curious and building solidarities for justice. 🌈🎓

A thread on Green Party Executive Elections! It's not just the leadership. There are a lot of roles up for election. I'm going to try and keep track of all the candidates here. Let me know if I've missed any The roles are: Deputy leader/s Chair Campaigns Co-ordinator Elections Co-ordinator

Conclusions now I’ve had a break: - EHRC aren’t trying to hide that they’re transphobic & their interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement makes no sense - MPs regularly cited what they’re hearing from members of the public in their questioning. Keep writing to them. They’re listening.

Today during our questioning of the EHRC, I asked how interim guidelines could possibly adhere to trans people's right to private life. The interim update has many consequences and unanswered questions - for organisations and individuals. I will continue to ask them in our committee.

Here it is... the smoking gun that should bring down this entire EHRC committee.

I have emailed my MP and asked them to support this amendment. The link below makes it incredibly easy to do the same, and if you are a UK resident I very strongly encourage you to do so. Abortion is critical healthcare and we must decriminalise it NOW.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Just spoke to Jim Diamond at LBC about the need for a wealth tax. Rachel Reeves has made her own self imposed fiscal rules. It's obscene to be squeezing international aid & development at the same time as spending money on more bombs.

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital. What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies? What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households? Bring bills down. #SpendingReview

Not just that, 3:56 p.m., she literally said they haven't spoken about human rights at all. Freudian slip? It is a little confession that she doesn't see us as human. It's literally the meme that was circulating a few days ago

Head of the EHRC saying that she doesn't think trans people in the UK should have the European Convention on Human Rights Article 8 right to private life Also worth noting that demanding random cis people "prove" they are cis also violates their privacy rights too

👀

At 15:56:10 today, Kishwer Fallner said, after spending 1hr 30 minutes being questioned on trans rights "We haven't spoken about human rights at all today." What the fuck. This is why the call "trans rights are human rights" is so important because it is so fundamental to any human rights convo

True but they don't care. They do not care at all about holding contradictory worldviews. It does not matter to them at all. They don't really believe that cis people pretend to be trans to commit crimes, they just hate trans people and need an excuse

I see that Kishwer Falkner has attacked Good Law Project in her appearance before the Women and Equalities Select Committee. Here is the evidence that the EHRC backed its landlord's failed attempt to stop protests. (The documents are all here. www.tintagelhouseinjunction.com)

In the USA the destruction of abortion rights followed hot on the heels of attacks on trans rights. Just so it is happening here, and it's the same people behind it. #WarOnTrans #WarOnFreedom

What a fucking psycho this Falkner is wtf

The TERFs what is a woman question always only makes me think of this.
