uk.news.yahoo.com/transgender-... Please pay attention, @england.nhs.uk et al., you are being dangerous.

Just unfriended a long-time acquaintance on Facebook for being a transphobe. How's your evening going?

"Liberal campaign workers report that former Liberal voters have expressed reluctance to return to the fold because of the 'Trumpification' of the party. This supports Labor research that people alarmed by Trump are having second thoughts about voting for Dutton." www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

New research: More Australians consider Donald Trump a greater threat to world peace than Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping. 🔴 Trump (31%) 🟠 Putin (27%) 🟠 Xi Jinping (27%) Almost half (49%) said they felt less secure since the election of President Trump. 17% feel more secure. #auspol

Kids should stay in school” One of Morrison’s famous parliamentary quotes when he was attacking children protesting about climate change. Almost a thousand schools are now closed awaiting Cyclone Albert and a storm made worse by climate change. #climateactionnow #auspol

Trolls are hilariously spamming Donald Trump’s anti-DEI “snitch line” https://flip.it/PDSms0 #antiDEI #Trump #M4L #MomsForLiberty #HateGroup #Politics #Resistance

🚨 BREAKING: French President Macron delivered a speech to prepare the continent for war with Russia. This was broadcast live across Europe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMSc...

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

A landmark Family Court decision supporting gender affirming care for a young trans 🇦🇺’s Justice Tree pointed to the Cass Review's “deficiencies, blind spots and limitations” & to “an overt political imperative” behind it. He gave it “little weight” in his decision. bsky.app/profile/kirs...

Out of the last 7,200 Olympic medals awarded since 2003 a total of zero have been won by a trans woman athlete. The best a trans woman has placed was an archery competitor & she came 37th. The only other one came absolutely dead last. Trans women athletes are disadvantaged in elite female sports

Ontario Premier Doug Ford cancels Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and bans all US companies from government contracts: “It’s done, it’s gone... We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.” “They only have President Trump to blame.”

Great to be at the @climate200.bsky.social No Safe Seats premiere in Sydney with many friends from the community independents movement - hosted by the marvellous Julia Zemiro #auspol

The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"

As we're watching in real time the continued decline of democracy in the US - here's your regular reminder that there's nothing we can do about that - but there's an enormous amount we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us. Subscribe, volunteer, donate, share >> linktr.ee/CommunityInd...

I want to be clear: gender affirming care remains available in Massachusetts for all who need it. My office and I will continue to enforce our state laws to ensure families can access it without fear of discrimination.

Don't know if this will mean much but to my trans friends overseas, you're already recognized and accepted by so many of us. I won't lie and say it isn't tough and bleak but you keep fighting to be you ya hear? Being kicked down can have meaning as long as we get back up 🏳️‍⚧️

😢 heartbreaking

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... WTF! I am seeking advice on how we protest this outrageous decision. I will fight this in any way I can.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

In a world full of Donald Trumps, be a Mariann Budde. Choose mercy. Choose kindness. Choose strength. Choose inclusion. Choose love.

No Australians aren’t trying to solve it. We are trying to melt it. Australia is the 2nd largest fossil fuel exporter and 5th largest producer. If we want to stop Antarctic glaciers collapsing it’s pretty f***ng simple. Stop new fossil fuel projects.

The only thing stopping Dutton’s obvious plans to Trump us - is you! #auspol

Olivia Troye wrote a solid piece recapping Felonious Tyrant 47’s first week of his 2nd stint as “President”, and he he has ruined America in less than a week.

Entire town in New Zealand for sale at price of an Aus house. I think all us trans peeps should buy this and call it Trans Town. search.app/dNzg14ZctX34...

Trump’s Dept of Justice lawyers, previously at the firm of Dunning, Dunning, Dunning and Kruger, are being compared to Ernest Shackleton. At least Shackleton tried to go back and rescue people which is more than these dillberries will.

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

The AUKUS spend 👇

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

What are you talking about "workaholic"?? Anyway, I made this.

As an optimist, I tend to believe that my most spectacular failures are still ahead of me.

Many of us working at tech companies are having to make moral and ethical decisions when it comes to where we work, what we work on, and what we speak up about. It's super difficult to know what to do, or even what your options are! 🧵 with resources

😂😂

Trump has now threatened to hit Denmark with tariffs if they don’t hand over Greenland. I'm looking forward to the in depth reporting #abcnews will soon provide on implications for rules-based international order & on whether he's stark raving mad or just a narcissistic bully. #auspol #worldpol

Thank you Greg Mullins, ex NSW fire commissioner & my ild Forest High school mate for naming climate change as one of the major causes behind these catastrophic fires in LA IN WINTER on abc news.

the public will no doubt end up underwriting the insurance markets… but really it should be the fossil fuel companies.

Australia’s approach to gender-affirming care seems sensible, evidence based, and compassionate. We could learn so much from this

Wtf?

Australians who lived through the NSW 2019 Bushfires -19 million ha burned; 3 billion animals perished; 3,500 homes destroyed; 26 lives lost -were told: "Now is NOT the time to talk about #climatechaos As we all know, it is WELL PAST time!!

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

What a lovely article. . “I believe we all just need to be who we are.” Absolutely.

New original reporting on bias at the New York Times: Evan Urquhart has the story of @billiejsweeney.bsky.social, once an editor on the NYT international desk, and how she tried, and ultimately failed, to improve the paper's coverage of trans issues from the inside.
