RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

We condemn Israel’s interception of Madleen trying to get aid to Gaza. @simonharrisireland.bsky.social statement is welcome & we ask Tánaiste to demand safe return of all activists incl G Thunberg.

Normally rule-following autistic says fuck transphobic laws A cisgender autistic woman who is generally so law abiding she once performed a citizen’s arrest on herself for jaywalking will not acknowledge any evil transphobic legislation, it has been confirmed....

“Fuck your single-sex spaces and fuck your Supreme Court. If I see you calling the police on a trans person in a public restroom I will personally flush your phone down the bog whilst pretending it’s Wes Streeting’s head.”

Thank you the tip off. It's just what's I'm looking for and nearby too. 🙌
