For all my cynicism about Fathers' Day, because of my own dad, blown away that daughter, okay step-daughter, decided to spring a surprise visit, along with buying a meal, for today.

I was fully against Trump's parade, but honestly, watching how bad it was and his face as he realised no-one turned up is kind of funny.

I really think that a lot of GCs believe that if they take away trans people's human rights that the motivation to transition will disappear. Not even just that if they make the world hostile for us we won't come out, but that if they make it hostile enough they'll "cure" dysphoria

My traditional reminder on this day that it is great to celebrate decent father figures in your life, but you don't have to feel like you need to celebrate all fathers. Some of them are just horrendous pieces of dirt you can feel better off without, and not feeling guilty ignoring. Happy #FathersDay

There have already been multiple inquiries and reviews into grooming gangs and child sexual abuse. The results and recommendations have been ignored. This won't show anything different, it will give more oxygen to those claiming it's all about race and immigration though. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm among the first to say you shouldn't attack people for who they voted for, people vote on self interest normally and are easily swayed by arguments which appeal to that, but damn, if you're still supporting Trump then yeah, you can be classed as a racist and, at the very least, fascist enabler.

Minnesota news saying four people shot, one person in custody, one at large. Warning out not to answer the door, even to police. Rep Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman and their spouses appear to be the four victims with the first shooting at 2am and the second at an undetermined time

A reminder that not only are most migrants on settlement routes subjected to what is known as "no recourse to public funds", meaning no state support, the majority actually pay more into state finances than take out, on top of tens of thousands in visa costs, and the immigration health surcharge. 1/

Smoke and mirrors from Kendall. Whether the transition from receiving PIP is four weeks or 13, disabled people are still going to be denied necessary support, and access to work in many cases, by these cuts. This is an unconscionable policy which will harm so many people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.

This is what happens when politicians and media use, repeat and amplify hostile rhetoric about migrants, they inflame and embolden violence against communities. As with the far-right riots last year, nothing about this is to do with any form of "legitimate concerns". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Minimum Income Requirements don't just separate spouses, they leave children without a parent. There is no justification for them. This is a tax on love. Nobody should be denied the ability to be with their loved ones because of how much they earn. They need scrapping. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I really cannot stress how contemptible this is – or how deeply offensive it is to the families of people who fought and died in conflicts as America’s military allies, when it asked for help. There are hundreds of such families in the UK alone. And thousands more who served and returned.

Wanna get back to this cause with what Falkner was saying at the WEC, third space for trannies is very much what the EHRC considers appropriate, trans symbol next to the accessibility symbol very much has become a sign of segregation rather than inclusion

When they ask you 'what rights has the Supreme Court judgement taken away?' here's the answer.

Between Falkner's comments today, Reindorf's et al it seems clear the EHRC is arguing that trans and non-binary individuals not only shouldn't have equal rights, but they should have fewer rights than others. This shows how deeply the dehumanisation of trans and non-binary individuals is embedded

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.
