There are also hidden disabilities such as autism, Crohns etc.
Disabilities which do not require a wheelchair but still justify some extra consideration. Oftentimes people with such conditions can come in for a LOT of unwarranted aggravation when other passengers see them being taken care of.

You have two types of Political Party in the UK.

"Lets tax the rich and make things better for everyone."

Or

"Lets blame Immigrants, Disabled People and Pensioners so we can get in a party who will make the billionaires even richer and things worse for everyone else."

Jack Smith says he could prove Trump engaged in 'criminal scheme' to overturn 2020 election...

£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise

£24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant

If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors

Have you seen the new terms and conditions over there?

Finally making the great leap from Twitter.

Imagine actually believing that the US is still "leading a rules-based system"

Autism understanding time We're all aware of autism by now, but most have very little understanding of it. Perhaps listening to autistic people could help

"Recent years have seen a dramatic shift in public discourse around autism: autistic people are finally being listened to, and many leading autism researchers now speak openly about how much they have learnt this way."

Aphantasia: When you cannot visualise
A form of neurodiversity that is often overlooked and could be your experience bylines.scot/health/aphan...

JUST IN: Saying the Trump administration’s “grievous error” “shocks the conscience,” a federal judge has rejected their call to lift her order demanding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"globalisation has come to an end" is an insane take from anyone not trying to pander to the US delusion that they can singlehandedly stop *everyone else* from also trading.

Case in point, you don't hear Nintendo saying they're not launching the Switch 2 *anywhere*!

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

You think the arbitrary arrest of political dissenters cannot happen in the UK? It already does. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Incredible summary. Read it!

“The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy”

“I feel there’s great potential in building a new politics [where] political power and local resources are returned to communities”

Denmark's Greens are on 15%, almost double the last election, mid-term. The social democrats in Denmark have been vocally sceptical on asylum & pace of immigration intending to go left on economics and the state. This may be effective at the next election but has potential risks on two flanks

Fox News is now engaged in a 24 hour operation to convince Americans that invading Greenland is normal.

Looks like Carney's not fucking about then. Good to see a world leader who's ready to do what needs done. If the rest took his lead some people might have to rethink their game plan.

As we’re approaching law-firm-hiring season, I hope students are considering which firms align with their professional and personal values and which ones don’t.

Here's how Judge Rosenthal explains why Trump's executive order does not cover drag shows storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Spain stopped supplying Israel with weapons, recognised Palestine and will arrest Netanyahu.

¡Viva España!

This UK government should be saying unequivocally that our first interest is as a European country in terms of both economy and defence rather than quivering as to whether something that might upset the US, particularly this administration. bsky.app/profile/guys...

Stand with science. Always.

Labour are dead to me.

– Det norske oljefondet er helt katastrofalt FNs spesialrapportør til Palestina, Francesca Albanese er tydelig i talen om når det komme til hvor dårlig Norge er.

– Norge kan ikke risikere å tjene penger på Trumps plan om etnisk rensing og kolonialisering av Gaza. Det vil ha stor internasjonal signaleffekt, sier @uneaba.bsky.social.

If anyone doubts this is true, the stumps of ancient wildwood trees still protrude from the peat here.

The evidence is all there, right in front of us, once we open our eyes.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

America going around bullying the rest of the world is going to end badly.

Checking in this afternoon: yeah, cool, the transatlantic fascism remains both wildly embarrassing and incompetent, even if simultaneously destructive.

Has Europe found its big boy pants in response? Has the UK realised that there isn't a real choice between the EU and the US left yet?
