Looks like I moved from a gatekeepy NHS endo, for whom I was paying privately (and then paying again for counselling to alleviate all the anxiety he was causing me) to a different non-NHS private provider who won't do that but who will shortly be blacklisted by Streeting. Yay for bodily autonomy 🙄

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

'being considered' doing a lot of heavy lifting in this article. It's not workable, practical nor legal. It's just toilet monitors again.

The Democratic Party needs to be fractured and people like Whitmer need to be cast out. If you are are more scared of the reaction to you working with a fascist then actually working with the fascist you’re not just a threat you’re a coward.

Heparin is cheap and essential to millions of hospitalized people. Tariffs could disrupt the supply chain that gets ingredients from China to their beds.

For the most part, you won't get a GRC without a diagnosis. And for the most part, you won't get a diagnosis without "living in role" Catch 22 anyone?

🧵 Quite a few graveyards would like to disagree. There are plague pits with entire populations who should haunt this worm infested drug addict. He promotes the Nazi pseudoscience of engineering the Über Mensch - the master race. He should have stuck with the family gift for nymphomania. [1]

For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

no. it isn't. it's bcos they're all the same party. it's not quid-pro-quo. labour/tory/reform are all the same ppl. the idea that they're difference parties is a pantomime.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

One fairly low impact bit of activism you can do if you're in the UK is to write to your MP and ask them to ask Streeting why he allows a child abuse network to influence trans healthcare policy. Ideally in the commons where he can't pretend he didn't hear it.

We need to learn from what is happening in the US. The guardrails against fascism are woefully inadequate. The power of the establishment, media & NGOs has been leveraged against the population and against democracy very easily. The UK urgently needs more protection to stop Farage doing that here.

This isn't Elon's brain broken. It's his celebration of ending all LGBTQ related science and the beginning of a purge of all trans people from the federal workforce.
