At this point if you’re coming out against UBI either admit you’re an idiot or that you just want to watch people suffer. It’s one or the other.

One of the main arguments for universal basic income is to make it so that people have money to spend so that business can keep making and selling. Turns out keeping people impoverished is bad for business.

I can't understand Christians who claim to believe in loving their neighbour and yet want to destruction of trans people. When they meet new atheist types who want the same they praise them. But new atheist who use late 19th century arguments think they are thick because they believe.

8 years ago, 'gender critical' transphobes launched a campaign against the Girl Guides, because they refused to exclude trans girls.

A devastated mum of a young trans girl wrote this...

Today, the bullying, braying, bigots got their wish! 😪
They are NOT "protecting girls" - it's bigotry and hate!

Today we honour and remember the people we have lost, and reflect on the progress made in fighting HIV

Despite the advances in treatment and testing, we can't take for granted all the progress made.

Stigma still persists and we must challenge it whenever we encounter it.

Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

The Christian- and social-democratic model represents the fullest expression of Catholic Social Teaching, inaugurated in the late 19th century by Leo XIII.

The fate of the 21st century turns on whether we appreciate the logic of Christian democracy and of the social teaching that inspired it.

There’s been some chat lately about politicians and civil servants becoming writers in Ireland. I’m a Green Party member since 2017 and my latest novel The Planter’s Daughter is an eco-crime story about why we Irish are so rubbish about climate and biodiversity. Also attacks transphobia.
