Really concerned that the EHRC has submitted a new Code of Practice to the Equality Act 2010, for government review. This revised guidance undermines rather than updates the Act, limiting the rights of trans people. Blatant transphobia wrapped up in language about protecting single-sex spaces.

🚨BREAKING: President Zelenskyy slammed Russia’s deadly missile attack on Sumy, including a fresh strike on Palm Sunday that killed and injured dozens. He called for stronger global pressure, saying peace talks won’t stop missiles. “Only a scoundrel targets civilians,” he said.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Let's parse Starmer's "the US is our closest ally". 1) Geographically, not so. That's the EU. 2) The UK does more trade with the EU than with the USA. 3) Intel, weaponry are enmeshed, for the UK, in US structures. 4) Mindful of (3), Starmer is trying to flannel us over (1) and (2).

F^^k every single person who voted this dangerous, unqualified, 💩 for brains lunatic through to the HHS.

South Africa is one of 38 countries that does NOT allow entry to convicted felons……. Please REMEMBER this every time you read more BS from Trump about why he won’t go there for the G20 HE IS FORBIDDEN FROM DOING SO 🫤🫤🫤 THAT is the reason Nothing else…..

Look at this 💩 Now these Magats are wearing lapel pins with the image of the blobby head of their lord and savior 🍑💩 They, dear friends, are in a bonafide, genuine cult. But hey, they’re not worshiping a golden calf. Oh nooooo. They worship a jackass made of 💩

The reports of European visitors having their phones searched at the border and turned away if they've criticised Trump in private messages has already had an impact on US tourism. Keep in mind most people book these trips way in advance. This is just the start. www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

Who's feeling confident that Starmer will have the nerves to stand up to US bullying? Hope you like chlorinated chicken, Britain!

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery
