work friend resigned last week, everyone else got told today and suddenly everyone’s messaging me like im on suicide watch or something help

The cost of building the West was paid in blood, and the insistence on whitewashing that history is part of why fascist ideologies and exterminationist sentiment is so rampant and mainstream now. We are expected to be useful, servile, and precarious, and our worth as people is secondary.

I actually think that the humanity of immigrants and non-white people isn't contingent on their military worth to your misbegotten glorious past, and simply acknowledging the utility of brown workers to your white nation does not make it a fucking 'successful multicultural society'.

"And let's not forget the generous wartime donations made by the people of Bengal in 1943, for which Churchill expressed his gratitude!"

Question. Are British liberals capable of acknowledging the humanity of brown people without sounding like the gutter-dwellings hounds of a dead empire?

once again the ghost of thatcher continues to haunt us as the landlord political classes are averse to anything that may actually really help people

Like the answer to a trans woman asking “what toilet should i use, should i use the mens?“ to them really is just, “you shouldnt exist actually, the law now says you are not legitimate and thats your problem“

This clip is really horrible just fyi the minister just dead eyed refusing to answer pointing at the supreme court and the ehrc claiming they were very clear with the obvious implication

I know folks who've experienced conversion therapy outside the West and even they get a lot with sexuality being "fluid", attraction "fluctuating and changing over time", "don't be so rigid in your definitions" ... "because you'll grow out of it and find a man to settle down with and have kids--"

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased.

Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.

27 scored, 0 conceded: A crazy Arteta UCL stat Our brilliant 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid saw us continue our excellent form at Emirates Stadium in the Champions League

"Arsenal's nine-straight home clean sheets in the group/league phase is unmatched in Champions League history, as we have now surpassed Jose Mourinho’s fabled Chelsea side who achieved eight in succession during the 2000s"

We've gone from "legitimate concerns about the pace of change in communities" to this absolutely chilling juncture in the space of ten years. The trajectory of norm erosion, and the consequences of that for minorities, were entirely predictable. So where will we be in a decade's time?

All the Evidence Against Transgender Social Contagion Plus Thoughts on Why People Continue to Embrace This Zombie Theory

...(which they very well might given increasing bans on gender-affirming care & public recognition; see link for more on this), they will also take that as a sign that trans people are not "real". they've essentially created a lose-lose situation for us

glad to see this "study" is being debunked, but I want to point out the double bind at work behind the scenes here: for years, anti-trans activists pointed to any increases as signs of "social contagion" (read: these kids aren't "really trans"). but then, if or when the numbers ever go down...

I wrote an article in January about where we have ended up in English law re. "deception as to sex", and what that means for trans people. I think it's likely we can expect to see more of these sorts of cases going forward.

Let's be clear: this is the result of deliberate political choices to make accessing trans healthcare substantially impossible. It's what Streeting and his ilk want.

YES IT FUCKING DOES YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWN

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

it was only in 2017 that the UK government retroactively pardoned gay men.

it's colloquially called Alan Turing's law, being an expansion of a campaign to pardon Turing who was convicted and chemically castrated for homosexuality.

the scope for abuse here is staggering and obvious.

This is a photo from a few minutes ago in Tulkarem in the West Bank.
Today, Israel abducted over 1,500 Palestinians in the West Bank, the largest number since 2001.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin.

Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation.

We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

Only weeks ago Yvette Cooper ordered ‘show raids’ on delivery workers nationwide. This is the impact here in Belfast of far-right appeasement policies set in London.

Good to know that trans rights and the safety of immigrants were both flushed down the toilet for no good reason :D

Liberals don't do this shit because it achieves anything. They do it because they want to. Because they agree with the bigotry and violence.

The gov really are just saying calls for violence against certain demographics are okay actually, more than okay, reasonable and maybe even policy ideas

Its like we’re living through that one black mirror ep where the pm has to fuck the pig on live telly but its this ham shagging the flag for the approval of white supremacists
