The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The Environment Is Under Attack. The Rights of Nature Movement Can Save It As the Trump administration ramps up attacks on the environment, a new tactic giving legal rights to lakes, rivers, and trees is gaining momentum.

The Environment Is Under Attack. The Rights of Nature Movement Can Save It

Hope you get exactly what you deserve for your role in this sham, you spineless fear-mongering bigots.

Oh my god

Inexcusable. The absolute least he could do is give a proper apology.

I stand resolutely with everyone affected by the attacks by ‘Women Scotland’ and the UK Supreme Court ruling. If you do not understand how the right to uphold trans rights is inextricably tied to the fight to uphold women’s rights, you need to read more. Bodily autonomy is a human right. True feminism is for all.

Feminism is for all. Bodily autonomy is a human right.

“The UK’s first trans judge applied to intervene in the supreme court appeal but was refused. Last year she quit her job as a judge, saying her position had become “untenable” because her trans identity was viewed as a “lifestyle choice or an ideology”. She now lives in the Republic of Ireland.”

Feminism is the belief in the equality of the sexes. That everyone is equal. The fight for trans rights is inextricably linked to the fight for women’s rights because it is about bodily autonomy. Bodily autonomy is a human right, and all women everywhere need to wake tf up to the fact we are all one

fact anyone is trying to claim otherwise is despicable. Look at who is celebrating this win if you truly want to know what it means. This hasn’t a thing to do with protecting cis women — this harms all of us. Emboldening anyone who seeks to control and exclude a defined group of people is tyrannous

was done not just without consultation or representation of trans women, but by denying all applicants to speak on behalf of the trans community. This is a sham with wide reaching, undefined and as yet uncontrollable effects that will undoubtedly harm the trans community and all women. The

Except that it effectively did, expressly deciding that a specific and narrowly defined group of women are now not protected by the Equality Act, can no longer sit on public boards in places reserved for women and are now open to restrictions on their use of public spaces reserved for women. This

All good alone, Joelie. Cheers 💅

How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

@boone.bsky.social and I just updated our WIRED Guide to safe protests—which I first wrote with @louryn.bsky.social back in 2020, and we've been updating since—and it includes new considerations for citizens and non-citizens alike. Please read www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Cory Booker has officially taken over the Senate floor for over 20 hours to call out Trump’s assault on the Constitution.

And is still going.

Because democracy is dying while you kiss the ring @washingtonpost.com

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Trump’s Anti-Trans Education Order Relies on Intimidation. We Must Not Yield. If parents, students and educators together refuse these policies, the policies will become unenforceable.

Here's the Guide to Safety, Health & Welfare at Work from the HSA. Reg 8, p11 addresses lighting, though for 'employees' vs a customer. Still, makes it sound like you should have control of lights: "Light switches should be positioned for easy access and use without risk."
