Still very grim and depressing to see "you might get in legal trouble for using the toilet"

If they make it illegal to exist then I will just be forced to break the law. What a disgusting state of affairs. I will not live as a subhuman though

But Reeves herself seems in no mood to back down. In an interview on BBC Breakfast this morning, where she was responding to the growth figures, Reeves was asked about the plans for welfare cuts. She replied:

We will set out our plans for welfare reform, but it is absolutely clear that the current system is not working for anyone.
It is not working for people who need support, it’s not working to get people into work so that more people can fulfil their potential, and it’s not working for the taxpayer when the bill for welfare is going up by billions of pounds in the next few years.
So, we do need to get a grip. We need to spend more on national defence, but we need to reform our public services, and we need to reform our broken welfare system.

One more time for ministers at the back: it’s entirely possible to be a taxpayer and to receive benefits.

As someone currently in the mid-tax band and on PIP, I’m more than happy for my earnings to help people who can’t work - and to pick up the state support I’m entitled to.

Workers at multiple Starbucks locations across the country went on strike yesterday, walking out in protest of management's refusal to negotiate a fair union contract with @SBWorkersUnited. In some cases, the police were called and striking workers were arrested.

'No-one is talking about young men' increasingly occupies the same space as 'we need an honest conversation about immigration'. We never shut up about young men. It's one of the only things we ever talk about, although admittedly only ever to say 'we need to be more reactionary'.

A Twitter screenshot of a quoted tweet. The first is by JD Vance, saying: Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of β€œSlava Ukraini” protestors followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared. 
The second, from Tim Miller, says: Dozens are dead in Ukraine because you stopped giving them the intelligence that protected the country from bombs so you can probably handle some yelling in a free country, boss.

This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being β€œuncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are β€œintolerant” and β€œextreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

Britain's public transport network excludes disabled children and young people. British education usually offers only place-based tuition. Yet somehow it's the students' fault that they need expensive transport from home to school? Fix the system. Stop disabling children and young people.

This is the headline 'exclusive' from the Guardian today, pitting children with disabilities against road maintenance. Pathetic.

Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: β€˜I’m punished for existing’

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

In the Original Shrek Movies. There were Three Triplets
One girl and two boys, the most noticeable difference between them was that the boy Ogres had Brown eyes like their Father, while the Girl ogre had Blue eyes like Fiona.
In the new Shrek, their daughter has Brown eyes like her Father.
In conclusion: Genderqueer Ogre. Transhreksual

The full force of this administration’s destruction is about to hit Once social security checks stop showing up, millions of Americans will finally understand the scope.

"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill peopleβ€”mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

Mother had carer’s allowance stopped while with disabled daughter in hospital Rachel Adam-Smith says stopping benefits when loved ones are in hospital fails to recognise carers’ ongoing role

This is one of those scandals every person relying on the system knows but those in power never mention: the DWP stops PIP and Carer’s Allowance when a disabled person is in hospital for 28 days. When at their sickest, make them worry they can’t pay their bills. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Andrew Tate, who faces rape and trafficking charges in Romania, has left for the US A Romanian official says influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate have left for the U.S. after a travel ban imposed on them was lifted.

Trump pressured the government of Romania to release Andrew and Tristan Tate.

This is a government by and for rapists.

If there's one thing patriarchal ideologues hate more than anything else about trans people it's that we assert that our bodies are our own. That we belong to ourselves, not the family, not the church, not the state.

I think the fascists who are now carrying out a coup in the US have spent the last 8 years conducting a Criminal Interview of the Democratic party.

They've concluded, correctly, that the Democrats are incapable of making the mental shift required to do what's necessary to defend themselves. 5/

The key to the Criminal Interview is that the would-be predator operates unconstrained by norms β€” all options are on the table for them.

The predator is testing how far they can push their potential victim before getting pushback.

The predator is trying to figure out "Can I get away with this?" 4/

Marc MacYoung in his book "No-Nonsense Self Defense" talks about the Criminal Interview β€” a process by which a would-be attacker decides if you're safe to attack.

They start by crossing a small boundary, like approaching you on the street and then standing too close. They observe how you react. 2/

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society β€” and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence.

I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.
