Neither trans, nor a drag queen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Note the numbers for 'stance on transgender rights'. If we assume those opting for Reform left Labour for being too pro-trans (side note: HOW?!) and those opting for Green/LD left because Labour's too anti-trans, that means Labour's losing *10x more votes* to pro-trans parties than anti-trans ones.

OMG!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Another Reform UK work from home job...

x.com/jk_rowling/s... Rowing is about as feminist as Andrew Tate.

Just finished another novel, 'Mates'. Now for re-reading, fixing plot holes, etc. BUT: bloody muse demanded an update. In another voice. Result is 'Colours', a bundle of five works up to novella length, also to be re-read, etc. Dear muse: leave me alone for a bit, kaythx.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

Mic drop.

I had to check if this was a parody because that’s where we are now! But alas no J.K Rowling is really out here laying the blame for a drop in Cervical Cancer Testing at the door of…..checks notes….. TRANS PEOPLE I mean, I’m shocked & shocked that I’m shocked.

Unwittingly doing the guy a huge favor by not letting him into the burning building

Gotta love a library that promotes banned books! Thank you, Cleveland Heights library

Time is weird. In London, it's night. In Tokyo, it's morning. In America, it's 1939.

Damn right!!!

🧵 Last week, Robin White, a barrister and trans woman, was harassed for using the women’s toilets in the Parliament. Today, Parliament has implemented a trans bathroom ban, telling trans people that they are no longer be allowed to use toilets which align with their lived gender.

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized. She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

regular reminder that rowling constantly links 'reduxx', a site dedicated to doxxing & inciting harassment of trans ppl, a site that sold literal *bladed weapons*. she endorses a site that advocates for violence against trans ppl. she is a dangerous psychopath & GCism is a pro-violence hate group.

If you photograph people in toilets, you’re a walking red flag and the police should be coming to your door.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

US Press Index rated problematic.

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

This was on a post about Cardiff Pride yesterday. So soon after a car was driven into a crowd of people in Liverpool. Someone happily implying that a car should be driven into the pride parade. If ever anyone asks why we need #Pride, it’s because of ghouls like this.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Val and Jo say "Trans rights!".

Obama will start a war with Iran…. Don’t call the kettle black….

We’re #1!!!

Swim glinner is shitting on the homeless now.

It’s almost as if these are just not nice people… 🤔

Daily Mail issues retraction on inaccurate reporting on puberty blockers. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It was when JK Rowling said that the Cass Review was a peer review itself and that's why it didn't need to be peer reviewed I realised she's an idiot. Anyway, here's a peer review of Cass. Guess what it finds?

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests. Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.

He thought his Jan 6 Trump pardon should also cover attempted murder of federal agents... www.thedailybeast.com/doj-seeks-li...

Bookface is being swamped with "Visit USA!" ads.. Said ads are being swamped with 'laugh' emojis and comments about the Mango Mafioso and El Salvador. Virgin Atlantic Holidays have turned off replies

Allison Bailey is back with a new grift. Not content with being humilated in court after claiming Stonewall tried to sabotage her career she's not claiming her vets hate her because she's a TERF and not because she was extreme rude and arrogant to the staff. tribune.com.pk/story/255165...
