The thing is I think he knows he's probably gone at next election and doesn't seem to care. Probably lining up a lucrative private healthcare consultancy or some such

Israel returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians, all marked with numbers rather than names.

The bodies reportedly arrived with their hands and legs cuffed. Some were still blindfolded. Some had been shot. Others appear to have been run over by tanks.

Estonia has a fully online digital parliament so they need the ID to vote, online, you know that thing we dont have. They dont get huge expenses, second homes and first class travel, Kier. Lets get you some of that e-parliament and we'll talk about ID.

over 30 countries in the world have self id laws for trans ppl and there have been zero problems and no erosion of women's rights or safety.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social: yeah, no, never! absolutely not!

if they're leading the way on sports bans and accepting the faulty premise against youth care they're setting us up for what happened in the UK! Showing deference to an opposition party that wasn't willing to fight for them is asking a lot when you see what happened in Europe and beyond!

Attendees may be aware of the unacceptable behaviour of two individuals last night at the FiLiA party.
Please be assured that these individuals were removed as swiftly as possible and were not permitted to attend the conference today. We have zero tolerance for aggressive or intimidating behaviour and harassment towards our speakers, volunteers and attendees.
We are aware that the women who were ejected have shared social media posts and videos, which significantly misrepresent the events of last night.
The matter is now in the hands of the police.
Thank you to all the speakers and volunteers as without them this event would not be possible.
Please speak to a FiLiA trustee should you have any concerns.
Sisterhood and solidarity.
The FiLiA Trustees

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

I’m in LA. We’ve been at this for 100-something days so far. More and more people are connecting with rapid response/mutual aid groups. Folks who aren’t able to be on the streets are doing back end work. There is a role for EVERYONE.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

I have got no idea why it is relevant for this to be a reply to me, and do you know that simply not responding is an option? As is recognising that as a straight cis male you are in no position to take offence at trans people being worried about their lives.

I don't think anyone has stated that he is anti-trans, he has a documented history of making pro-trans statements. It is his quiet while influential YP transphobes have been noisy and in powerful positions that has been the issue.

Thanks, not sure what '40:00' refers to but his last words at the end of the 6 min video are "trans rights are human rights and that's exactly where it has to be". Which is good to hear, I wasn't aware of this, happy to be proved wrong. Which isn't to say that...

Multiple YP policy positions have been promoted by Corbyn and not one of them has been a rejection of the transphobia at the top of the party, and not once has he spoken in a personal capacity in favour of trans rights since the launch of YP. This is justifiably felt as an inexcusable betrayal.

Their position is incoherent. Zarah sets out a number of policy positions which are apparently not subject to member decision, but others which should be axiomatic - for instance support for human rights - apparently are.

The petty swipe at The Greens is offputting too.

It's deeply brain-damaging that the whole Cabinet have clearly collectively decided on this wildly antisemitic line, with no social pushback from any sector of elite opinion. The Sensibles have just decided to give this dangerous bigotry a free pass, because it's directed Leftwards.
