Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it.

[Peter Mitchell @_bezpilotnik]

This is dead good by Juliet Jacques - on the cruel and stupid theatre of transphobia, its role in the authoritarian rolling-back of democratic rights, and how to hold the line in the current context:

[Matt Lieb?? @mattlieb]

Matt absolutely crushed this.

Just to be clear, this is segregation. Wash it under the words of 'third-spaces' all you want, its still segregation.

Despite this, anti-immigrant sentiment has increased. Proof that it's a manufactured political issue.

[night gardener @uncanny_eli]

the entire basis of the EHRC code is that specific kinds of cis discomfort - even imagined discomfort, fantasised-about potential discomfort - outrank the rights of trans people to public life within the eyes of the law

[nyara @nyaraVT]

JK Rowling did this.

Her Harry Potter money funds anti-trans legislation, hate groups and propaganda.

She is using her platform for stochastic terrorism and puts everyone in danger who doesn’t look a certain way.

This doesn’t protect women and girls

people are wondering why an israeli company would partner with the most prolific celebrity antisemite and i will posit once again that israel regularly does things that aren’t in the interest of jewish safety

[Dr Iain Overton @iainoverton]

Brilliant summary from @TheEconomist

genuinely curious why she thought praising ai to a group of people who are all graduating without jobs because ai stole them would go over well

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

And no tv show reported on it

Labour should stop pretending work is a magic answer to disability poverty. Many disabled people already work. Many cannot. Many could with the right support. But none of that changes the fact that PIP is for disability costs, not laziness, wages or moral worth.

Trans people are being denied vital healthcare that has nothing to do with their gender identity – simply because they are trans.

Reform waking up to realise Nige isn't prime minister but they're now just in charge of multiple bin collections

as usual, these courses are actually extremely cheap to run and often end up subsidising other courses for the university, but consultants and management don't respect them and think they need to make the universities look futuristic by opening Raytheon AI Crypto centers instead

From “a decade of national renewal” to “don’t cry on camera if the results are bad.”

1 in 5 British people are in poverty, 1 in 3 children. Never see these types bringing that up, do you? Always punching down, never want to address the problems that put people there.

[NJ @NoJusticeMTG]

it really is peak insanity that all the people banging on about expensive energy are desperate to block us from the source of energy abundance that would actually make us internationally competitive
