What matters is that we don't sit by. The Midwestern grandmas, the required chemists, the broadcast journalists who joined ACTUP, knew AIDS was everyone's issue. So is ICE. So is genocide. So are trans lives. World AIDS Day always reminds me for the love of G*d just pick something and ACT UP.

if it seems a bit strange to you that an ostensibly ‘feminist’ organisation should be campaigning against free period products, I’d invite you to consider where said organisation is getting its funding and whose views it’s set up to promote
I guess when you're rich you can't comprehend people having no money, much feminism from Maya as usual. They are willing to see organisations that actually help people shut down if they don't follow their weird little ideology, but yeah, she's a "women's rights campaigner"

You can't actually cap migration into Ireland without:
1. Dismantling the Common Travel Area
2. Leaving the EU
3. Placing a hard border between the Republic and the North
This "population growth" argument the self-declared sensible people have come up with is in reality really extreme

Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

absolutely horrific story, and belies the misogyny inherent in so much anti-trans sports stuff: the absolute disbelief that a girl or woman could be just be great at something, and the assertion that there's only one way for girls and women to look
the poor child could be scared off playing

Beyond disgusting, and the Indo itself has helped to create the environment where this kid of behaviour is now deemed acceptable. That poor girl - my heart breaks for her. I hope with all my heart that she is well supported and that she stays playing sport.

Relevant info needed: might any of these professions be dominated by women workers?
Could it be that that fascist administration wants to devalue women and tie them to the home?
