But you know, they’re protecting women by harassing trans people, so who cares if the research data on women’s health is gone and there won’t be any more research on women’s health for the next 4 years?

Fewer than half of British people can name the 2022 British PM with a 5-letter surname starting with T. Politics can be more brutal than showbusiness sometimes.

Il y a 22 ans, si on m'avait demandé, quand on défilait dans nos rues pour dire "non "à Jean-Marie Le Pen, comment les médias parleraient de sa mort, je n'aurais jamais imaginé cela. Le tortionnaire raciste, antisémite et négationniste est devenu "papa".

Powerful front page from L'Humanité on Jean Marie Le Pen: 'His Profession Was Hatred'. The dagger pictured was recovered at the scene of the brutal torture and murder of Ahmed Moulay in Algiers in 1957. One of multiple pieces of evidence showing Le Pen was a torturer.

Jean-Marie Le Pen used to boast that he was ‘France’s most hated man’ (yes, he enjoyed that; he was a fan of hate after all). His death is going to be especially tough on those doing dry January

An extremely damning evidence against voter ID, partly because it’s likely people without voter IDs are also less likely to answer long surveys on politics, making these extremely conservative estimates. Given the under-registration in this country, means large scale exclusion from elections

Quite the contrast between UK and other European countries in terms of generational change in income for children of indigenous. The thread links this to availability of data on race. If, like in France, you don’t collect the data, you can’t see and address problems
