The Wall Street Journal reports that Donald Trump “has complained to aides repeatedly” in recent weeks that his attorney general, Pam Bondi, is “weak” and “ineffective” at pursuing his agenda.
“This month, Trump has talked with allies about how he could appoint special counsels at the Justice Department because he is so frustrated with what he sees as the slow progress of its work… Chief among his grievances is what he sees as Bondi’s failure to quickly and effectively prosecute the investigators who had pursued him for years, including former FBI Director James Comey,” the WSJ reported.
Trump thinks his attorney general isn’t good enough not because she’s failing to release the Epstein files as the law requires, or because she’s failing to go after violent criminals, but because she hasn’t gone far or fast enough after Trump’s enemies. That tells you everything about Trump’s priorities.
TERFs Came 3,300 Years Too Late
Gender diversity isn’t new. Hatred of it is. Long before Christianity, Islam, or Judaism, and long before the idea of men and women as fixed categories, ancient civilisations understood that identity and divinity came in many forms.
In ancient Egypt, Pharaoh Akhenaten, father of Tutankhamun, elevated a minor sun god into the first singular god more than 3,300 years ago. He believed the divine contained both male and female aspects and had himself portrayed that way in sculpture and relief. Before him, Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most successful rulers, reigned as Pharaoh while being depicted as male. Gender was fluid, sacred, and associated with power and authority.
Across Mesopotamia, priests known as the gala served the goddess Inanna and were recorded as gender diverse or non-binary thousands of years before modern language existed. The Hijra community of South Asia has been documented for at least 2,000 years and recognised as a distinct spiritual gender. Ancient Greece and Rome also recorded deities, rituals, and myths that blurred or transcended gender categories.
So when people claim gender diversity is a modern invention, they are rewriting history. What is new is the gender critical movement, which closely mirrors 20th-century fascist pseudoscience. The Nazis destroyed archives, banned research, sterilised, and murdered trans and intersex people, including the destruction of Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science in 1933. They labelled it degenerate. The same language about biology, purity, and protecting women appears again today, repackaged under a different name.
TERFs did not invent feminism. They hijacked it. They turned a movement for liberation into a system of exclusion and surveillance. But gender diversity existed before their politics, before their religions, and before their fear.
Trans and gender-diverse people are not a trend. They are part of human biology. Every embryo begins along a shared developmental pathway. Genes, hormones, receptor sensitivity, and timing then guide sex characteristics in different directions. Variations such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and androgen insensitivity syndrome demonstrate that sex traits occur along a spectrum rather than in two fixed boxes.
Neuroimaging research has shown that many transgender people’s brain structures align more closely with their lived gender than with the sex assigned at birth. This is not an error or deviation. It is one of the natural outcomes of human development, shaped by the same biological variability that produces differences in height, voice, and appearance.
In other words, trans people exist because biology varies. The difference lies in expression, not legitimacy.
The spectrum is older than religion and older than hate. It is written into our species.

Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gibb sacked: https://t.co/lsre7Q2leL

IF I GET DEMENTIA…..
I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.
1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.
• If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
• If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
• If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
• If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
• If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
• If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
• If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
• If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
• If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
• If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
• If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
• If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
• If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
• If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live. With a bus and activities!!
• If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
• If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places.
Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
• If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
• If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
• If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
• If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
• If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”
ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.
