When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes a duty. I oppose genocide.

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it.
We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life.
We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

Brexit was a disaster and Britain has been suffering economically, socially, and politically ever since.

I’m proud of you. For the workout, of course. But mostly for quoting the distance in km.

They might recover, but it will be a tall and steep mountain to climb. I hope they do recover. A genuine labour party should have a place in the political landscape and should work in coalition with other progressive parties. But another one of Labour's things is not sharing...

Huge thanks to @tacc.org.uk for spearheading this, and to everyone involved for all their dedicated hard work. The EHRC is #NotFitForPurpose and can no longer be relied upon to uphold and protect the human rights of people in the UK.

The Ukrainian and Palestinian causes represent something more than justice alone. They are the durability tests of the notion that the weak have rights at all.

Queensland's ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy is being challenged by the mother of a trans teenager.

Brisbane’s Supreme Court yesterday heard the state government acted unlawfully and failed to follow proper procedures when it implemented the ban earlier this year.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: β€œlook at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

What the fuck are you talking about.

Agreed.

And anyone who thinks Labour will equalise hate crime against trans people after such interference really needs to give their heads a wobble.

Starmer is a fascist and the Met have long been the Govs lapdogs.
hollybrigstocke.bsky.social Holly Brigstocke @hollybrigstocke.bsky.social Β· 15d
Starmer and the Met Chief Constable interfered in this case. That's a major red flag and public scandal, abuse of public office, and a collapse of the rule of law.

When transphobes from Graham Linehan to JK Rowling and others are effectively granted immunity that's a problem.
