I've just used the Good Law project website to send emails to my three local NHS Trusts about them giving Palantir access to NHS data.

The NHS is under pressure to adopt Palantir software. Its founder openly despises the NHS.
You can push back: use our tool to see if your local trust is using the software, then send an email to say no to Palantir

Okay, this is a fascinating case of social media priming.
So, this creator, Sarah Velush, basically has a channel devoted to deadpan lifestyle humour (a la Chef Tova).
But because a progressive account takes it literally and says... this? Hundreds of comments assuming she's an evil tradwife.

This is why everyone who thinks the Dems are interested in rolling any of this shit back deserves exactly what’s coming to them.
Watching Dems talk about whether the people killed in the second strike were "in the fight" is driving me to madness this is all highly fucking illegal and you need to say that clearly the US government is not allowed to randomly kill people on the high seas

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter wasn't actually that intense. A lot of the "queer community" pilloried a trans woman and ran her out of society entirely and buried her literary future because they felt like it and they could taste blood in the water, and that's how all this works.

it's weird to show pictures of the victim alongside descriptions of their abuse/violation rather than show the coach in your thumbnail
Investigators say former coach Sean Gardner created videos showing close-up images of at least 10 minors naked or undressing, which they recovered from his computers last year while investigating reports of sexual abuse.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

I honestly think Rowling has lost touch with how real people's lives actually work.
And, also, Rowling's movement is gearing up to get girls kicked out of Scouts, so this "answer" is horseshit.

"Respectful and understanding" - perhaps they were. I'm not. I don't think any of us should be. I think orgs that do this need to pay a heavy price for doing it. They're afraid of the power transphobes have: and so we must endeavour to build power of our own and to wield it uncompromisingly.
This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'
And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'
Absolutely pathetic.
