I mean this is just transparently racist, right? White refugees shouldn't be treated preferentially to non-white refugees.

If you’re interested in leaving a safer, fairer world to the next generation, you might want to consider signing this and calling out casual homophobia.

To be honest, I feel frequently overwhelmed by the sheer hell of ‘everything’ right now. If you’re feeling the same way, here’s some snowdrops to remind you that every winter ends eventually. Take good care of yourself. ❤️

This is state-sanctioned cruelty. Forcing NCMEC to erase LGBTQ+ kids and deadname trans youth is inhumane. LGBTQ+ kids face higher risks of abuse, this isn’t “protection,” it’s sacrifice to a hateful agenda. There’s nothing Christian about abandoning vulnerable children. It’s pure depravity.

On #R4Today the UK Chancellor is making the case that Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a gamechanger for the environmental impacts of aviation at Heathrow and elsewhere It's just not true. There's no basis for this claim www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/three-m...

The problem with sustainable aviation fuel made from biomass is the same problem with BECCS. You'd need too much land to grow that much biomass. People hate hearing it, but a livable future requires alternative means of travel and taking fewer flights.

Last week I updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" with new links to analysis and evidence. I have no illusions about the current political landscape. It will likely take years to undo Cass' act of sabotage. But I am in this fight for the long haul and hope you are too.

PEPFAR, started by George W. Bush, has saved more than 25 million lives worldwide. 600,000 people would die over the next decade in South Africa alone, which relies on PEPFAR for only 20% of its H.I.V. budget. Some countries are almost entirely dependent on the program.

Somewhere between 5,000 - 15,000 homosexual men were sent to the concentration camps. The death rate for these men may have been as high as 60%. The liberation of the concentration camps did not grant liberty to these men, many of them were reimprisoned under buggery laws. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

Four years since It's a Sin! The show didn't just tell the devastating story of those we lost in the 1980s, it helped us shared the story of how much HIV has changed, driving up testing and awareness. We're still grateful.
