A reminder: if you only acknowledge violence against women when it involves perpetrators who are migrants and trans people, then you’re not interested in ending misogynistic violence, you’re just interested in being racist and transphobic. Just saying.

I am not a huge fan of World Aids Day, largely because in the 37 years since it started, not once has the theme acknowledged that gay and bisexual men have been disproportionally affected by HIV.
But for Trump's US govt not to acknowledge the day - a first for a US govt - stinks.

Conservatives complain to whips about fellow MP’s comments on legally settled people
Exclusive: Criticism of Katie Lam comes amid widespread confusion in the party over its policy on indefinite leave to remain
Conservative MPs have complained to party whips after Katie Lam said many legally settled people should be deported to make the UK “culturally coherent”, the Guardian has learned.
Lam, seen as a rising Tory star, said last weekend she believed “a large number of people” living legally in the UK should have their right to stay revoked and “go home”. “What that will leave is a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people,” she told the Sunday Times.
