How Elon Musk is boosting far-right politics across the globe The world’s richest man is trying to sway politics on six continents.

The instigator of the letter, EHRC Chair, Kishwer Falkner, was parachuted into the role by Liz Truss with the EXPLICIT expectation that she would use the privileged position to attack trans people! 😣 This was confirmed by Kemi Badenoch.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Heavy rain forecast overnight www.instagram.com/reel/C3jkb6D... Equivalent of me with plants that could do with a water 😍 Zone 10 something, Valencia region, Spain

"Snug as a bug" My 3 have been out all night & are now positioning themselves in places various for their mega all-day naps. And Rayo, who HASN'T been out all night, has taken up prime position after his morning walk Talk about treating it like an all inclusive hotel 😳😄 #cats #catsofbluesky

🌱 Florist Kalancho, flowering today, zone 10 something, Valencia region Spain #flowersonFriday #succulents

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

"He was acquitted of coercion, for allegedly trying to pressure Hermoso into saying publicly that the kiss was consensual" Approaching her family (including her brother), team mates etc seems pretty coercive to me 🤔

🌱 Already harvesting #hellebore seeds from this season Zone 10 something, Valencia region, Spain #gardeninginSpain #seeds

Given how the UK'S anti trans rhetoric & propoganda aligns EXACTLY with Trump's, I fully expect him to announce the renaming of "Great Britain" to something American sometime soon.

I’ve spoken to several ex-Tavi clinicians and can corroborate everything that’s stated in this article. GIDS was targeted by ideologically driven ‘gender critical’ transphobes - both inside and outside the service - and replacing it with a non-affirmative model became a political project.

Suzanne, the reason that the NHS will continue to be mainly staffed by women is because the vast, vast majority of women don't hate trans people so much that they'd walk out of a resuscitation area if one was there> Most people are normal

🌱Cape Marguerites also known as Osteospurmum. Decided to cut these & put them in this little vase

🌱 Yes Rayo, it IS very pot bound. Thank you for your input (being helped in the garden now, I think as a "thank you" for our 90 min walk first thing this morning) #dogsofbluesky #hound #hounddog

🌱 A bit of a mis match where colours are concerned in the winter/early spring, by-the-front-door planter. The brightness is much needed today as temps have dropped today after the warmth of 20+° temps of late; It's feeling quite cold. Winter pansies Purple heart Sage Geraniums Ranunculas Rose

🌱 It's a glorius day today here in Valencia region in Spain, 22°c & flowers are really starting to bloom for #flowersonFriday on #Valentine's including one of my pale pink #roses ❤️ #bloomscrolling

🌱He knows me SO well. A bag of peat free compost & pearlite for #Valentine's day & I'm happy as a pig in whatsit❤️😁. Happily sowing seeds that, when they flower later this season, I can say "ahhhh, I planted them on Valentine's day" 🥰❤️ #cosmos #flowers #seedplanting ##gardeninginspain

This is amazing. Via @nytimes.com

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Erasing our history won't erase us. Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

🌱 Something every experienced gardener knows - there are seasons that are dark, cold, even treacherous. But the gardener moves forward, planting seed after seed, more than necessary, planning for the return of a beautiful #garden. Cultivate beauty's gradual return - one seed at a time. #Zone8b

This is such an informative post. Do give it a share

🌱Popped in for a cuppa with a friend yesterday. The blooms on her echeveria cassyz were so stunning I just had to take a picture. She wasn't really a #succulent person & her husband found the plant dumped on a building project he was working on. So she planted it. I think she's now a convert

🌱Heaving (Just the one tree 🍋) #gardening #organicgardening #lemons #gardeningbluesky

🌱OK, so I like Zinnias #gardeninginspain #gardens #gardening

🌱 Cape Marguerites (African Daisies) really starting to come into their own here in Spain. Flowers are blooming & rest of bush is covered in buds #garden #plants #flowers

Morning. I'm knackered after a short trip back to UK so not quite up yet (plus it's really nice to cozy up with these two just for a few more minutes💓) #cats #catsofbluesky #catlover

🌱Flying (literally) trip back to the UK until Sunday. You forget how green everything is (views, coming in to land , via aircraft window)

🌱 Honestly Diva, you really DON'T need to help "hatch" the seedlings, much as I appreciate your help 😳 #cat #cats #catlover #catsofbluesky #gardening #gardeninginspain #seedlings #plants

I met & married my husband- a Welshman - when Wales were on the up and winning 6 nations matches. Since we moved (2022) they - Wales - have struggled to win. Maybe they're missing his support 🤔 (there has to be some reason they're consistently playing crap ?) #6nations

"GB News" really isn't a news channel, doesn't represent the views of the majority of those living in England let alone Wales, Scotland & NI & yet it continues to present it's far right propoganda channel as such. It's already had multiple incidents called out by UK'S TV watchdog 1/3

🌱The #succulents are really putting on a show for today's ##sixonsaturday. Jade Plant,Cressula, Aloe Vera all producing flower spikes & are at varying stages of blooming. First crocus of this year & Bird of Paradise STILL blooming & has been since November #bloomscrolling Valencia Region, Spain
