El primer exterminio nazi fue dirigido hacia las personas psiquiatrizadas, fue luego que se extendió al colectivo judío.

“I beg every legislator to read the judgment in full. I regret any uncertainty among duty bearers and the public that has been fuelled by misunderstanding and distortion, particularly across social media. The judgment is a model of clarity” @EHRCChair

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"The judgment does not change the law but brings much-needed clarity, it also represents the triumph of reason and science in policy making and a return to basic truth and common sense,” @UNSRVAW Alsalem said.

@genspect @_CryMiaRiver The use of mental illness labels to address concerns about informed consent and harm is ableist and cheap. Do better. I’m a female only lesbian feminist and this problem is endemic in GC community.

[LGB Alliance Cymru @LGBAllies_Cymru]

For all those excited at the thought of women with short hair being excluded from the Ladies, yes, sometimes we're challenged. No, it's never an issue once we speak or the challenger has a proper look. They apologise, we laugh. All good. No-one dies: we are women, not snowflakes.

[Tina Minkowitz @TinaMinkowitz]

@LesbianPersist Thinking about what it means to have lesbian space openly and publicly lesbian excluding males. We are so cramped in the US despite our persistence, all the vetting and fear to preserve our spaces.

Here are the latest Trump plans to gut the federal workforce:

There’s an Executive Order out tonight on DOGE’s federal “workforce optimization initiative.”

It requires:
1) all hiring to be approved by DOGE’s agency lead
2) Only 1 hire allowed for everyone 4 people who leave
3) Each agency to prepare for “large-scale reductions in force”
4) within 30 days, each agency is supposed to submit to OMB (Russ Vought) a report on whether the entire agency or any sub-functions can be eliminated

—>Note that the military, immigration enforcement and public safety jobs are exempted

[Victoria Smith @glosswitch]

When people who've always held patriarchal views about women say "there are only two genders", we know they don't mean "there are two sexes, but your sex doesn't define your personality, desires, social role, relationships" etc. They don't make that distinction. >

[Victoria Smith @glosswitch]

Feminism makes that distinction, but so many on the left haven't wanted much to do with feminism for quite some time. For them, conflating sex and gender allowed them to fling accusations of biological essentialism at any feminists pointing out sex matters. >

[Tina Minkowitz @TinaMinkowitz]

@yzsmith @POTUS Clearest path strategy was for @POTUS to order the archivist to publish as he has the power to do. Deadline is not in constitution. It would be tested in the courts. No other strategy avoids the courts and others are more cumbersome.

[Max Dashu @MaxDashu]

@POTUS Why did you wait so long? why didn't you instruct the National Archivist to do this three years ago? Trump is just gonna throw this out.

[Tina Minkowitz @TinaMinkowitz]

Thanks for your work on this @EqualMeansEqual - not in the area but I texted White House again

[phone]
Statement is not enough. Make the call! Publish the ERA!

[EQUAL MEANS EQUAL @EqualMeansEqual]

GO TO THE ARCHIVES NOW! The amendment would need to be formally published or certified to come into effect by the National Archivist — Biden is not going to order the archivist to certify and publish the ERA.
