We don’t acknowledge enough just how motherfucking stupid fascism is

This heat is not only a climate emergency, it is class war. The rich burn the planet, then buy air conditioning, private pools and second homes while workers are left in overheated flats, unsafe jobs, failed public services and burning cities. Climate Action Now!

yes, they do, because that is what a fucking child is. do you people even hear yourselves

This is Jonathan Ross. He shot and killed Renee Good. He still hasn’t been indicted.

Yeah, this has been very sudden and I’m trying to adjust. Asking for privacy as I ascend.

JK Rowling wants you to think she is being silenced. That she is the lone voice of reason. That by defending biological sex she is defending women.

I have read her essay. I have looked at the science. Here is what is actually true.

Her arguments are dishonest. Her concerns are manufactured. Her legacy is not empowerment. It is harm.

She says sex is real. Nobody disagrees with that. But she presents it as a simple binary when biology has never been a simple binary. Intersex people exist. Chromosomes vary. Hormones and anatomy do not always align in the way she describes. She paints the world in two colours because the full picture does not serve her argument.

She says trans people using bathrooms is a threat. The data says otherwise. When Massachusetts introduced trans inclusive public accommodation nothing changed. No increase in crime. No spike in assaults. The only thing that changed was that trans people could use a toilet without being in danger. The people getting assaulted in bathrooms are trans people, particularly when forced into the wrong ones. She does not mention that.

She mocks inclusive medical language as if public health should centre her comfort rather than reach everyone who needs care. That language exists so trans men and non-binary people are not excluded from menstrual health services. It does not erase women. It means more people get the care they need.

She cites rapid onset gender dysphoria as though it is a clinical diagnosis. It is not. The study that coined the term was based on parent reports from online forums, not clinical interviews with the young people being described. Every major medical body rejects it. She keeps repeating it because it sounds alarming. Because if you say social contagion often enough people stop asking for evidence.

She says youth healthcare is dangerous. Puberty blockers are reversible and have been studied for decades. The evidence shows they improve mental health outcomes in trans adolescents. Suicide rates are higher in young people who are refused care. If she had read the literature honestly she would know this. The question is whether she has read it and chosen to ignore it.

She says most people regret transition. They do not. Regret rates after gender affirming surgery are around one percent. Most people who detransition do so because of external pressure, family rejection, housing loss or job loss. Not because they were not trans. She knows what the research shows. It does not fit her narrative so she leaves it out.

She says trans women in prison endanger other women. Trans women placed in men’s prisons are significantly more likely to be raped or assaulted. The US Supreme Court addressed this decades ago. She says she is protecting women. She ignores the ones her logic puts in danger.

She says trans women in sport are categorically unfair. The science does not support a categorical position. Hormone therapy reduces muscle mass and strength. Effects vary by sport. That is why most sports bodies are developing nuanced sport-specific guidance rather than blanket bans. She does not want nuance. Nuance does not generate the response she is looking for.

She says she is asking questions. But questions have consequences. Every concern she raises has a downstream effect. It shows up in legislation. In bathroom bans. In protest signs outside hospitals. In children being denied healthcare. Her words are not neutral. They travel. They arrive somewhere and that somewhere has a body count.

The woman who built her legacy on a story about love defeating hatred is now building a new legacy on fear. She has aligned herself with organisations listed as hate groups. She has become a figure celebrated by people who do not care about women, do not care about children and do not care about anyone who is not useful to their immediate political goals.

She is not standing up for women.

She is standing on trans people to elevate herself.

Anyone who wants to understand the true picture of the NHS and Labour’s impact on it should read this.

The decline may not be as sharp as with the Tories, but there is a complete failure to grasp the magnitude of the problem

Thousands dying unnecessary…

Millions suffering on unimaginably long waiting lists

The sad part politically is that Streeting probably does believe in the NHS. The problem (perhaps more worrying) is that it looks as though he and his government have been convinced that the private sector can provide “relief” to the NHS.

rewatching Andor and it remains a small miracle that dog-brained Lucasfilm gave Tony Gilroy $600M to make a show about institutional rot, the glacial pace of resistance, and the crushing human toll of a revolution that virtually all of its soldiers will never see the fruits of

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

This is always worth repeating. Before the BBC decided for reasons unknown to endlessly platform Farage and allow his comments to go unchallenged he was a nobody, a fringe of a fringe, a far right nutcase loathed by most decent people and yet the BBC made him a star.

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal

This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

In 2016, Zack Polanski hosted and spoke at fundraisers for the Red Cross.

In 2017, Nigel Farage gave speeches for the AFD, who the German authorities have designated an extremist organisation, and which uses Nazi slogans.

Which do you think UK Press is attacking right now?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does.

While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't.

It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.

Isn’t it great that we’re celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday whilst ignoring the message he’s spent the last 20 years trying to get through to us:

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory.

Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team.

Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried.

And we're making hope normal again.

[Tom Jamieson @jamiesont]

Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse

[Bad Writing Takes 🖊️🏳️‍🌈 @BadWritingTakes]

JK Rowling, a racist anti-human rights campaigner, is apparently trying to suggest that Zack Polanski, a Jewish man, is antisemitic for condemning a violent attack in a way she doesn't like.

Incidentally, Rowling has still never even mentioned the genocide in Palestine.

[Bec Shaw @Brocklesnitch]

doesnt include the joke (which means it sucks or he's scared bc its offensive), then does 3 minutes of unfunny spiralling because she made a face, doing a fake convo until he lands on pointing out her tits & joking about sexual assault (all unfunny) thats non woke comedy for you
