"Completely incoherent":  UK court says trans people can use the bathroom at pubs but not at work - LGBTQ Nation The court found that workplaces have to separate bathrooms by sex assigned at birth other places don't have to.

A UK high court decision has implemented a full bathroom ban on trans employees. It does not apply to the public. So a trans woman working at tesco could be fired for using the bathroom at work that would be ok for her to use on her day off. Absurd.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

May this one day happen to them.

Surely this makes a mockery of the law. How utterly ridiculous.

Russell Vought raided USAID budgets he helped gut to pay for his own security The White House budget office reportedly set aside $15 million of remaining funds to protect the Project 2025 guy, according to Reuters.

Security detail provided by the US Marshals Service for budget chief and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is being paid for by the $15M left in funding for the now gutted USAID.

Cuts in USAID will contribute to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, with 2/3 of them being children.

A great book!

10/10 to the Green Party for having the correct take right out the gate.

FWS created a labyrinth. It brought confusion, not clarity. A competent government would step in to sort it out. Alas, we don't have one of those (for now 💚✊...)

Whether it is or not, Dems have GOPers on their heels on immigration but they're looking for ways to rescind (or better, swap to put it into healthcare $75B in funding). It's really easy to minimize that ask.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

when they have me flying a bomber in Civil War Woke im painting this on the payload

may have just scolded the lady next to me on this flight for leaving her trash in the seat right before we deplaned. “i don’t think you should leave your trash.” “who cares what you think” [observes she has a copy of the new york times in her hands]

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

👀👀👀👀

When you’ve got THIS administration admitting that ICE lied under oath, the video evidence has to be catastrophic.

It is very difficult to defeat the government on any terrorism judicial review

It is also very difficult to defeat the government when challenging a statutory instrument, terrorism or otherwise.

Legally this is a *huge* achievement for the applicants.

Should the government have used terrorism law against Palestine Action? A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak

#BREAKING: The high court has ruled that the UK’s ban on Palestine Action is unlawful. Back in September, dag argued the government had likely overreached in proscribing the organisation under terrorism law

There must be a dozen fireable offenses listed in this piece:
*Noem firing civil servants without cause
*Her boyfriend using govt resources to boost her profile, punishing officials who would not give him a gun
*Massive waste on ads, planes, delayed contracts, pushing favored firms

“…in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.”

Again, in actual democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The story of our current political moment will be written in retrospect as one of elites creating alternative information environments for themselves and then freaking out because of them. It’s like telling exaggerated ghost stories at a sleepover and then everyone not sleeping.

Johnson partied as pensioners died alone. Why didn't Johnson get this pressure to resign. Farage appointed a Russian Agent as the leader of Reform UK in Wales. Why doesn't Farage get this pressure to resign The answer is the Tory Press.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking

Among the 5 ways to fight fascism is to peel off enough Members of Congress to hold up Trump's agenda.

3 signs on the front page of the Politico that's beginning to happen consistently.

The tariff one will mean that Dems can force a vote on the Canada tariffs tomorrow.

Grand Jury Rebuffs Justice Dept. Attempt to Indict 6 Democrats in Congress

Trump sought - and failed - to bring criminal charges against six members of Congress who said things that displeased him.

Charles I’s attempt to do similar with five MPs in 1642 preceded a civil war.
