Ward Carroll is a social conservative so I'm very "meh" with him but this discussion with Prof Justin Bronk is worth listening to. Bronk gives a surprising good summary of the Ukraine war situation inc geopolitics, military, procurement, and negotiations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCBE...

I mean this. When Shillace’s book comes available, everyone should read it. One of the most incredible histories of the rise of fascism in Germany and the trans people who lived there. The stories are incredible and the things she uncovered are indispensable.

This is what it took to get rid of the hated Sus Laws; what will it take to get rid of facial recognition, predictive policing and the other forms of algorithmic carcerality?

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

During the preliminary injunction hearing on the trans military ban the following exchange between Judge Reyes and the DOJ attorney occurred. IANAL, but if the judge calls your central argument "pretext" and "ridiculous" during the preliminary hearing, I don't think things are going well for you.

this is why false citations is the most accurate way to “prove” students used ChatGPT forget em dashes or using big words or whatever like, yes, AI has a particular voice and English teachers recognize it! that’s not “proof” but made up articles? that’s cheating either way & they’ll admit the AI

They want you to believe transphobia is the norm. It isn’t. Most people don’t hate us. The norm is cowardice. They goal is to scare you all into compliance. You rebel by just not being a coward.

The only possible conclusion after voting with the Tories in favour of the harassment of trans people in their work places is that the Scottish Labour Party is institutionally hostile to the LGBTQ+ community. Let not a single MSP from their number dare attend pride this year. They are what we fight

I see The Times, which has engulfed the public for years with a succession of dishonest hate pieces about trans people, is now blaming trans people and their allies for the rise in transphobia.

The best way to counter bullshit being debated in parliament is to make politicians aware of what it means in practise. Talking to your political representative is something that many of us can do.

I got a reply from the Lemkin Institute after the weekend debacle I'll forgive them for the gaslighting in their reply, and stropping off Bluesky in the first place, if they republish the Red Flag Alert soon. Maybe they're talking to a trans person BEFORE making a statement about trans persecution?

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

My thought on this is that if a system is displaying an increasing behaviour (rising fascism), we should not expect that to change without any idea of what the mechanism will be. So far no intervention has been demonstrated that will change it, only make it worse (climate change, AI, etc)

LONG THREAD: Okay, let's break down a few things, both about ID cards and Labour's ill-advised tactics on "fighting Reform". First off, I personally don't think ID cards would work in UK, because we are objectively bad at things like this, but they work elsewhere so this isn't about them per se. 1/

Nottingham has a proud tradition of solidarity. We look after each other and we don’t fall for con artists playing divide and rule. So, in our hundreds, we showed the small anti-trans march that their views are not welcome. Their movement is a danger to trans people and women.

General reminder to please post things that might cheer people up or at least raise a wry smile, or even hopes. Not just bleakness. And if your timeline is full of the latter, actively seek out the former. There's a lot of great stuff happening. People are still mostly good. As are cats and dogs.
