In September of 2022 the state of rhetoric and discrimination against trans people in the UK and US was so bad that the Lemkin institute for Genocide Prevention issued a statement warning that we were seeing a move toward the genocide of trans people.

That police chief is very lucky Mahmood hasn't castrated him tbh. Bitch is thirsty for human rights abuse and enforced mutilation.

I have said it before and will say it again: trans femmes should all be renamed Cassandra because we foretell the future but no one ever believes us

Bit rich. How many U-turns is he on now?

Oh, how I wish we could expect better from our PM than occasionally delivering a decent joke that somebody else wrote, lol

Perhaps Labour could explain this disparity? Apparently it only cooperates with the governments of other nations when 𝗜𝗧 is running them.

Will be interesting to see what happens if Plaid Cymru takes control in May.
Labour in Wales will decide how a £547 million growth fund is to be distributed – while the UK Government will decide how Scotland's £140m allocated is to be be spent, in what is being branded 'blatant political bias'

the overlap of 'trans ppl are a social media contagion corrupting children' and 'child sexual assault imagery is fine if it is on x!' seems to be a perfect circle.

why are transphobes always defending pedophilia?

a mystery of the current age.

So the tory line is that child porn is fine as long as you don't show it to the children you're abusing...

That explains a lot about their members. Conservatives have always been the party of choice for the nonce.

One reason I have zero tolerance for transphobia, why I've come to find it completely disqualifying, is that it is in the nasty, tedious forefront of all right-wing rhetoric. Anyone who still thinks this prejudice is compatible with being on the left or being a liberal is not someone I have time for
Shad Tech Sec, Julia Lopez MP, despite (apparently) agreeing with gov't online portection aim, started a BIZARRE apologia/whatabout over X that equated Grok to "crude drawings", drew in Iran, rape gangs, immigration, trans rights, and even blamed children for "sharing their images too freely". 👀 ~AA

I feel quite guilty about this...

But does anyone else wish we could just turn the US off?

I have a fair few American friends and like a fair few more American people, but I do wonder if the world wouldn't be a better place if the US was just shut off for a bit... given a factory reset... rebooted

This, 100% this!

Not one of these self obsessed "you have to vote Labour" types can ever answer.
how?

how will reform hurt me more than wes streeting and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social ?

go on. explain that.
Reform would hurt you even more than Labour. I am not fine with them getting in. I do understand your frustration, but never Cons or Reform, or we'll get Trump 2.01!!

A great way to discourage comic creatives from introducing more trans characters is to flip out every time one is introduced because they don't meet your individual criteria for perfect representation! Stop doing that!

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple

its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates

it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world

this is not a difficult call to make

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death.

They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

Streeting would be Labours version of Liz Truss but in a Palantir funded SS uniform and even less ability.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

It's gotta be a record! It only took a weekend of unrelenting shaming and criticism to get Starmer to U-Turn. At least on his lip service. If it came to it I doubt he'd lift an actual finger to stop it.

Are these Labour MP's that constantly whine about "This government" just too stupid to realise that THEY ARE "This government"?

Leave, move to remove the leader and cabinet TODAY, or accept that YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.

hey @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social,

you can't deny science forever. eventually you'll be exposed as the bigoted assholes you are and at that point labour's reputation will be completely wrecked

Any politician NOT actively doing everything they can to sanction the US (or in the US remove Trump) is not worthy of office and should never be allowed to call themselves a representative, in any capacity, ever again.
