For the benefit of people who don’t know who Lucy Meadows was and how the UK press hounded her to her death. This was written in 2017. The press has become considerably more hateful since then, with broadcasters joining in.

Nurse Sandie Peggie is facing a tribunal over alleged bullying of Dr Beth Upton – so why is Upton being treated like the one on trial? @bylinetimes.bsky.social Solidarity with Dr Upton. bylines.scot/society/whos...

😂 I can't un-see that image

Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie need to read this. Their bizarrely sudden turn to anti-trans rhetoric seems apparently based on their misunderstanding of this tribunal, thanks to media misrepresentation of it.

Gonna tell future generations this was the first ever AI generated Prime Minister.

I guess what it comes down to is if you're a middle-class cishet non-immigrant you can safely work with fascists, and most of these guys just...forget that everyone isn't a middle-class cishet non-immigrant

Thinking about Mandy Rhodes simpering over Steve Bannon, thinking she was doing some great feat of journalism, putting him on the cover, giving him an 8 page spread, never asking him about domestic violence, calling herself a feminist. And now he's throwing Nazi salutes at CPAC.

Scottish Labour conference have voted to reject a motion to back the Cass Review and scrap Scottish Government guidance on supporting young trans people. Whatever anti-trans route the leadership is on, the membership do not agree.

Reform leader made a speech at CPAC, where Steve Bannon threw a Nazi salute. You are telling disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people, brown and Black people, and women to stand with Nazis. Get to, and I can't emphasise this enough, fuck. You dithering privileged white male centrist. Part of the problem

Your framing gives you away. Most of the time protesters don't "clash with police", what happens is police create situations designed to foment conflict, then journalists do the propaganda.

Wait... are people only just figuring out that Kate Forbes is a transphobe??? This has been on the record since 2019. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

There is nothing hotter than a person who uses ALT text correctly

I can't open any media without seeing 408240 stories about Dr Upton's case, and yet, this has been very quiet!

She stood up when a grant was given to the LGB Alliance, GC colleagues complained about her, she was dismissed, then she won her case for unfair dismissal.

Absolutely I am all for the freedom to explore your relationship to gender.

Just Trump declaring himself king, after declaring democratically elected Zelenskyy a dictator. Average day really, as it all falls down.

I have ALL THE OPINIONS about this. Both about the story and the person. Those of us in Scotland experienced her Blairite side many years before she went down the fash route - she and Alistair Darling were friends and neighbours and her politics very much aligned with New Labour.

Here’s a counter argument: it is the willingness of centrist and liberal politicians to work with fascists against the left that has led to the rise of fascism again and again

Keir Starmer’s anger over Gazans getting UK visas makes one thing clear—his “human rights” only apply to some lives, not Palestinian ones! www.declassifieduk.org/rights-and-w...

kenmure street but philadelphia style

I desperately need people to know that there is rage. And the local media has been fairly clear about him being a transgender man. It is the national and statewide press that are erasing his trans identity. The local community is angry especially at the refusal to investigate this as a hate crime.

Still 130 likes behind, but I'm viewing it as a win, considering he's got the institutional 'credibility' of the NYT and 116K followers to my 9K followers on my artisanal shitposting account.

Nigel Farage calling for "180-degree shift" to reverse declining birthrate. This is in line with Trump Project 2025 aspirations for controlling women, as laid out by Heritage Foundation. Put this fascism in context with the GC obsession with fertility as an argument against trans people existing..

Great read from @elliebgomersall.bsky.social on America's far-right government, the lack of politicians calling out their lies, and the important work being done by those standing up for women's healthcare. 👇 www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

www.scotsman.com/news/politic... She is facing disciplinary action because she walked away from patient monitoring and harassed a staff member.

Sent to me by a friend in Ihio. Surely this cannot be true? Project 2025's plans for women. I mean. What the fuck?
