Woman refuses Cycling UK award over trans women being left out - BBC News Claire Sharpe says she disagrees with Cycling UK only naming biological women in their top 100 list.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Gotta wonder how much of post 2020 Maga brain is directly caused by long covid.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

"I am Spartacus" except everyone is admitting to felony sexual assault of a minor

HOLY SHIT ONE THOUSAND GIRLS

I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times.

did i miss this, because my bigger question is, Deepak Chopra was friends with Jeffrey Epstein?

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

The question is—will it cause a bunch of wrongful convictions, make it impossible to convict on video evidence, or both?

A post on X by Paris Schutz (@paschutz ), a CBS Chicago reporter, timestamped 23 hours ago, includes a photo of a car with a damaged hood and text overlay. The post reports that journalist Asal Rezaei was doing her job when an ICE agent shot directly at her car today, unprovoked, with chemicals entering through an open window, causing her to feel sick for two hours. It mentions no protester was in sight, and she was simply driving by to check the scene, about 50 feet from the entrance, an area local authorities and news organizations have been monitoring for weeks. The post also notes this incident follows the detention and release of journalist Steve Held the previous day.

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

During the 2010s, we collectively believed that by revealing the true hateful thoughts and deeds of people and systems would lead to change. But what we have learned in the 2020s is that the Scooby Doo move isn’t enough on its own. It merely names what is already known.

"News article titled A New Democratic Think Tank Wants to Curb the Influence of Liberal Groups, published September 17, 2025, in The New York Times by Reid J. Epstein. The article explains that the Searchlight Institute, led by Adam Jentleson, aims to persuade Democrats to play down issues like climate change and LGBTQ rights to appeal to more voters. A color photo beneath shows five people standing outdoors: Cam Thompson, Charlotte Swasey, Adam Jentleson (center), Tré Easton, and Danielle Deiseroth."

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant.

Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated.

Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

a major concern is that the show often involves us sharing stories from our personal lives. i will address this by coming up with stories based on experiences that i think michael would have had.

some professional news: due to various insensitive comments made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, I have fired @michaelhobbes.bsky.social from the If Books Could Kill podcast. the show will continue as usual, with me playing the role of both michael and peter

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

We are going to experience the collapse of the U.S. dollar, aren't we? These motherfuckers want to tank the dollar so they can be crypto feudal lords. Americans should be CRAZY alarmed about this.

ICE Violently Snatched Brazilian Trans Woman Alice Correia Barbosa From Car in D.C. Now the agency has said they intend to deport Barbosa.

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights
