[Sall Grover @salltweets]

Australia’s prime minister, @AlboMP, says he will not get involved in the “culture war” of amending the sex discrimination act to ensure women are accurately defined in it.

Fun fact: he didn’t dismiss it as a “culture war” in 2013 when he voted to remove women from the SDA.

[Women o' Scotland @WomenOScotland]

Any woman held in a Scottish women’s prison alongside a man since 2006 may be eligible to join a class action for damages.

Thanks to JK Rowling’s Women’s Fund there is reliable backing.

If this happened to you (or someone you know), please come forward. Opt-in proceedings are the way to seek justice after 20 years of this despicable and unlawful policy.

“Girls as young as 11, boys as young as 12”

🟠 THE ABC CUT 38 SECONDS FROM HANSON'S PRESS CLUB SPEECH 🟠

A side by side comparison of the ABC and Sky News broadcasts of Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address shows the public broadcaster cut roughly 38 seconds from her speech, leaving the aired version jumping mid sentence into a string of disconnected numbers.

WHAT HANSON ACTUALLY SAID

''35% of parents said their children had gone to school hungry. How can we hold our heads up? How can we, as members of Parliament who were supposed to represent the people of this nation, allow that to happen? It is disgraceful. And yet this Albanese Labor government cannot help our own people here, but keeps bringing in more into the country, and floods this country time and time and time again.''

WHAT THE ABC AIRED

"I think this is very important, what I've just said, and I want you, the people here, and the people watching this. 35%... 59% said they're children."

The cut removed the entire link between the child poverty statistic and her point about immigration. What aired in its place doesn't even parse as a sentence.

THE QUESTION

This is a broadcaster funded by every Australian taxpayer, including the ones who vote One Nation. When it edits a sitting senator's words into incoherence and airs the result as her national address, the debate about how the ABC spends public money stops being abstract.

@JoJacksonOz The Dartmoor Pony Society is the main organising body. Worth finding them and the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association. Both need support.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors.

There is a process, obviously.

Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir.

Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy.

And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent.

So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass.

Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite.

Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.

I have to confess.
I voted for Prime Minister Albanese at our last election, it’s true.

The same man who has just said this:

— “No matter who you support in politics, it is completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, belittle or offend women. The sexist campaign targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is a disgrace and the people behind these materials should withdraw them immediately.”

Strong words. And on this one point, I agree with him: sexism should have no place in our political discourse.

But we are being subjected to another straw man here.

Jacinta Allan has not become the most despised premier in Australia because she’s a woman. She has become despised because many Victorians now know her policies have driven our state into its most serious decline ever.

My open letter to the Prime Minister is this.

Prime Minister, you want to condemn sexism against women and in this case Jacinta. However, you lead a government that can’t even answer the question of ‘what a woman is ?’

Only days ago, we watched as Senator Michaelia Cash challenged Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody during Senate Estimates - over Cody’s claims that legal protections relating to pregnancy also potentially apply to biological males identifying as women.

Read that AGAIN Prime Minister. Slowly.

We saw a parliamentary debate about whether laws specifically designed to protect pregnant women could extend to biological males.

This is where we have arrived.

You want to lecture me ? and us ? about respecting women. When it’s YOUR government that is unclear on what a woman is.

Women deserve respect and protection. But they also deserve having their existence recognised without ideological word games and bureaucratic bullshit.

Bring on the next election.

Quickly.

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

He was only eighteen years old. His weapon of choice was not a gun, but a tiny bottle of acid. Yet, this teenage boy managed to save fourteen thousand lives from certain death.

In 1943, Paris was a dark place under Nazi occupation. Adolfo Kaminsky was just a young apprentice working in a textile dyeing shop. He spent his days learning how colors reacted with chemicals, which solvents could dissolve certain pigments, and how to alter tones at a molecular level.

He had no idea that this highly specific knowledge about ink and fabric would soon become the thin line between life and death for thousands of innocent people.

During the occupation, the Gestapo used paperwork as their primary weapon to hunt down Jewish people. Identity cards, travel permits, and food rations were all strictly monitored. On the documents of Jewish citizens, the authorities stamped one single word in blue ink: "JUIF".

That one word was a direct ticket to a concentration camp.

The French Resistance desperately needed a way to erase that word without ruining the paper. Standard forgery techniques failed because the official ink was designed to be permanent.

Any attempt to scrape it off left obvious marks that would get someone killed.

They brought the problem to Kaminsky.

The boy analyzed the paper under a dim lamp and remembered a trick from his textile work. Lactic acid could dissolve that exact blue ink while leaving the paper fibers perfectly intact.

It worked.

But erasing the stamp was only the first step. He had to rewrite names, birthdays, and signatures perfectly. The Resistance set up a secret laboratory for him in a hidden attic on the Left Bank of Paris. The demands poured in constantly.

He needed to make fifty birth certificates for children escaping to Switzerland, two hundred food cards for families hiding in cellars, and hundreds of passes to Spain.

The conditions were brutal. Bleach and acid fumes filled the tiny room, burning his throat and making his eyes water constantly. His fingers were permanently stained with dark ink. Kaminsky realized that each document took him about two minutes to make.

That meant he could save thirty people every single hour.

This realization turned into an obsession that haunted him. He looked at the clock and thought, "If I sleep for an hour, thirty people will die."

So, he stopped sleeping.

One week, word came that a local orphanage with three hundred Jewish children was about to be raided by the Nazis. They needed fake papers immediately or they would be put on a train to Auschwitz. Kaminsky locked himself in the attic.

He worked for two straight days and nights without a pause. His vision blurred and his hand cramped so badly he had to physically massage his fingers to keep writing.

Eventually, his body gave out and he collapsed onto the desk.

He slept for exactly one hour. When he woke up, panic gripped him. He cried out, "Thirty people are dead because I was lazy!"

He refused to eat or rest until the remaining papers were finished.

Thanks to his sacrifice, the children were moved to safety in time.

Kaminsky spent years in that suffocating attic, constantly upgrading his skills as the Nazis upgraded their security measures.

When Paris was finally liberated in 1944, the young genius had saved roughly fourteen thousand people.

He never accepted a single penny for his work, believing that taking money to save a life was deeply wrong.

After the war, Kaminsky became a photographer and lived a quiet, modest life. He never bragged.

He did not tell his neighbors, his coworkers, or even his own children about his wartime heroism for decades.

He simply faded into the crowd as an ordinary man.

Adolfo Kaminsky passed away in 2023 at the age of ninety-seven.

He did not want monuments or medals. His true legacy lives on today in the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the thousands of people who survived the darkness simply because a brave teenager chose to stay awake.

[Afshine Emrani MD FACC @afshineemrani]

I'm a cardiologist. A 42-year-old mother of two came to my office complaining of jaw pain and crushing fatigue. She ran half-marathons. Her EKG was normal. Another doctor had sent her home with anxiety medication.
When I got her into the cath lab, I found severe microvascular disease — plaque choking the tiniest vessels of her heart, the ones standard angiograms routinely miss.
Her heart had been starving in silence while everyone told her she was stressed.
She is alive today. Too many women like her are not.
Heart disease kills more women than every cancer combined. And medicine is still diagnosing it through a male lens.
84% of cardiologists report having patients in the past year whose heart disease was misdiagnosed by another physician. Women with a STEMI heart attack have a 59% greater chance of being misdiagnosed compared to men. Women with an NSTEMI — 41% greater chance.
The reason is structural. For decades, we screened, tested, and treated women using a template built for men.
Men's heart attacks announce themselves — the crushing chest pain, the clutched fist, the Hollywood collapse. Women's hearts whisper. Crushing fatigue that feels like wearing a lead vest. Jaw pain written off as TMJ. Nausea blamed on a stomach bug. An ache between the shoulder blades blamed on a long week. Shortness of breath blamed on being out of shape.
For years, medicine called these "atypical" symptoms. They are not atypical. They are female-typical. Half of humanity is not a variant.
And the biology runs deeper than symptoms.
Women have smaller hearts and narrower coronary arteries. Plaque doesn't only clog the big highway vessels — it hides in the microvasculature, the tiny branches feeding the heart muscle itself. A woman can have a heart attack with a completely "clean" standard angiogram.
SCAD — spontaneous coronary artery dissection — occurs 90% of the time in women. Often young, fit women with zero traditional risk factors. It's the leading cause of heart attack in women under 50, accounting for roughly one quarter of all cases in that age group. Most doctors have never diagnosed one.
And some of the most dangerous cardiac risk factors are hidden in women's medical histories where no one thinks to look:
Preeclampsia or gestational hypertension doubles to quadruples lifetime heart disease and stroke risk. Pregnancy is the body's first cardiac stress test — and these complications are early warning sirens, not closed chapters.
Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis — far more common in women, turbocharges inflammation and plaque formation at any age.
Cardiovascular disease in women aged 20-44 is projected to surge nearly 50% by 2050.
The youngest patients in my practice keep getting younger.
What every woman should ask her doctor — and what every doctor should be asking:
"Given my pregnancy history, autoimmune status, and family history — what is my full cardiovascular risk?" If they don't ask about preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, volunteer it.
"Should I have an Lp(a) test and a coronary calcium score?" Standard cholesterol panels miss too much. Lp(a) is genetic, one-time, and most women have never been tested.
"My tests came back normal but my symptoms haven't stopped — what's next?" Normal stress tests and angiograms can miss microvascular disease, spasm, and SCAD. Persistent symptoms warrant coronary CT angiography or cardiac MRI.
And if something feels wrong — say these exact words to your doctor: "I am concerned this could be my heart."
That single sentence changes the workup. Do not soften it. Do not apologize for it.
80% of heart disease is preventable. But the playbook has to be built for female biology.
Two decades ago, I wrote one of the first books warning that heart disease was the number one killer of women and that medicine was diagnosing it through a male lens. It was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush at the White House during the early years of the national conversation about women's heart health.
I'm haunted by how much of that book I could republish today unchanged.
The science has advanced. The awareness has grown. But the gap between what we know and what happens in the exam room is still costing women their lives.
Share this with every woman you love — and every doctor who treats them. READ MORE: https://t.co/4LRugiY8q2
