#Reverberations Starts 1st February
A month-long celebration of all things guitar. From 80s Indie and Alt-Rock, to Shoegaze, Grunge and beyond, right up to the present day. If you’re thinking My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Hüsker Du, Nirvana etc, this challenge could be for you.

it is no end of appalling to me that we're in this situation. the unsafe people are not who are getting targeted here, they are simply being made *more unsafe* in a way that protects the actual dangers
Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.

Really great that one billionaire bankrolling nuisance lawsuits by cranks can force a restructure of our entire society in order to impose discrimination against a marginalised minority. Real fucking triumph of democracy there.
The Women's Institute has been forced into excluding trans women too
"Not doing so would leave us at risk of costly legal challenge and potential regulatory action from the Charity Commission. We have a public duty to ensure our charity is not in breach of the law."

Why on the good lord's green earth is s Bloody Bill Kristol the voice of reason here?
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
