Feels ironic posting this on BlueSky as it's about the online safety act... but we need to fight against proposed changes that means direct action can be scrubbed from the internet more easily - because if activists "damage property" they could be proscribed as terrorist orgs.

📅Tomorrow is the final vote of the Government's disastrous Universal Credit Bill

Crips Against Cuts have created this MP email template - let's flood their inboxes and do everything in our power to make this vote fail tomorrow! #BinUCBill

"Cis and cisgender are therefore not neutral, impartial words. Journalists should not use them of people who do not use them of themselves."

It's funny, because I no of no trans people who refer to themselves as "trans identified males/females"
Left, Trans Journalist Style Guide, right: Sex Matters

Here’s @sasha98.bsky.social’s excellent reporting on what happened. www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/anti...

One of the first book burnings the Nazis ever did was in 1933 when 25,000 books, many of which contained unique insights into transgender history and medicine, were burned in Opernplatz Square.

Great post on how using AI at work is essentially doing yourself out of a job:

If you want to flood the Committees with requests to scrutinise Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson on trans rights, do it now!
She is due to be appointed the new chair of the EHRC
The pre-appointment scrutiny session is tomorrow (see thread below).

I’m always pro-disabled people leading what affects them but the reality is, many disabled and chronically ill people are paying a huge physical price for fighting tomorrow’s welfare bill. Many are suffering more pain and exhaustion from campaigning, all whilst in a brutal heatwave. 1/2

Palestine Action is not a danger to democracy. But Yvette Cooper is.
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is from Haaretz, an Israeli news site. It proves that Israeli concentration camp soldiers have been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid.

No Western media will run this story or even refer to it, because real Western journalism is mostly dead.

"We also broke into an airbase to stop war crimes. Thankfully, we were two nice white boys" - impassioned argument against proscribing Palestine Action by Dan Woodhouse and Netpol's Sam Walton novaramedia.com/2025/06/27/w...

Counter terrorism police aren't bothered with waiting for a ban - four people have been arrested for the protest at RAF Brize Norton, on suspicion of "the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000" www.bbc.com/news/article...

because there's no proper care or support for us provided by the state, Government policy alone is woefully insufficient to protect us.

And that's before we start to think about this in the context of an under-staffed & overstretched NHS who will be making final decisions on individual's lives

The assisted dying bill being pushed through at the same time the Government is about to make sweeping cuts to Personal Independence Payments (PIP) for disabled people feels so dystopian.

I support assisted dying in a fair society, but when we (disabled folks) are made to feel like a burden >

Ben Maguire MP has had to come off socials after being dogpiled by terfs unsurprisingly - really like the idea below about writing thank you letters...

Amazing to see from this Lib Dem MP...

Breaking: Labour MPs have launched a rebellion against the government’s disability benefits cuts.

Up to 100 MPs, including senior figures, have signed an amendment designed to kill the bill. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

‘The right change at the right time’: MPs vote to decriminalise abortion

I don't know what ones they're using in America, but these are some of the plastic bullets the British used on their own citizens in Northern Ireland.

As anti-ICE protests continue in LA, I want to remind folks of the risk the Gestapo poses to disabled individuals.

Alma Bowman and Rodney Taylor are suffering medical neglect in ICE custody.

Ableism & anti-immigrant sentiment have caused folks to turn away from atrocities.

We must speak up.

they never miss

This is residents in San Diego telling Ice-Gestapo agents to get TF out of their neighborhood. More of this please. 💙👊

I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have functioning hospitals.

I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have well funded schools.

I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have an effective and compassionate welfare system.

I fear we will see many more tragic stories like this when Labour deliberately withdraws benefits - from millions of people with disabilities. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
