I've seen several popular movements in my lifetime and history now as someone who teaches comparative politics.
When people show up in the dead of winter, on a workday, when it is the most inconvenient because of cold, it shows how strongly they are motivated against the government.

1. New reporting indicates that the Trump administration may be making a change to federal forms that could function as a defacto gun ban for transgender Americans.
It would require assigned sex at birth on the forms, which could contradict their legal ID.

Is The Trump Administration Attempting A Backdoor Gun Ban For Trans Americans?
Reporting indicates that the Trump admin is considering requiring gun applicants list their "biological sex at birth," which could put them in a bureaucratic catch-22 if it does not match their ID.

🧵 The pathways trail is NOT the solution however.
It will only allow 200 kids, we have 10k kids at least in our youth systems. It does not compare against HRT and it is testing for the wrong things- blockers alone wont make dysphoria "better" it just stops it getting worse.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.
