Wild headline…

Also, which dog owners? Presumably not the ones who adore and love and spoil their dogs I’m guessing?

Same people will likely be dismissive of their children’s trauma and lifelong mental health issues.

Guess which books are the wedge issue. Just guess.

Anti-trans to fascism takes months, not years, now. It’s not a slippery slope, it’s luge.

talking of protecting women/girls someone pls explain to @samanthaniblett.bsky.social and @emily4mk.bsky.social that labour's entire anti-trans platform is in the epstein files.

they want to make us more vulnerable to sexual exploitation by stripping us of our civil rights and segregating us off.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

I've always been clear about the huge irony in a government report calling the media like @wearequeeraf.com irresponsible for reporting on trans suicides, in case it harms young people's wellbeing.

Politicians, healthcare systems and media perpetuating hate, are the driving forces 🧡

The media’s sudden shock over Mandelson is embarrassing.

They fawned over him and if US authorities hadn’t released the Epstein files, they’d still be rubbing shoulders with him at Zone 2 dinner parties.

Now they’re clutching their pearls like they weren’t part of it. Pathetic.

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. β€œIdeally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

My fellow Americans LOVE reciting the First They Came poem like it really means some sht to em. They ain't do shit for BIPOCs, ain't do shit for the gays, and same for trans folks. They came for several us and y'all watched hoping it wouldn't happen to you, now what? #USA #LIBERALS #POLITICS

The proponents of the anti-trans moral panic seem to have some very strong feelings on moral panics and paedophilia after more than a decade of calling trans people paedophiles…

Attack Melania for being a Nazi, not for sex work. If you’re attacking her for being a sex worker you’re doing Nazi shit.

To recap:

The people who spent years calling drag queens and librarians β€œgroomers” and complaining about the β€œdeep state,” are now protecting the group of mega-wealthy pedophiles and sex traffickers running our country.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Being snug is nice, but it's no fun if you have to be wrapped up too tightly to be able to play. Can you help to buy warm clothes for Talia and her sister?

Inside UK’s most notorious immigration detention centre Brook House near Gatwick airport was the subject of an independent inquiry after G4S guards were filmed abusing detainees in 2017. Now, The Independent has obtained stark written accounts from officer...

Harrowing report from @theindependent.bsky.social exposes excessive force used against vulnerable migrants inside Brook House detention centre.

The UK remains the only European country to allow indefinite detention.

This is a system wholly unfit for purpose.

We may not have guns but we do have:

⚠️ICE-style raids invading homes and workplaces
⚠️Indefinite detention of women, children and men
⚠️Deportation footage bragged about on TikTok
⚠️Riot police used on peaceful protest
⚠️Politicians calling for mass deportations.

This isn’t β€œjust America.”

It absolutely is. A Reform win tells people a tactical Labour vote is the only way, a Green win gives permission to dare hope for better.

It's a bit frustrating when this kind of shit gets repeated in the press without question because it's so obviously nonsense made up by grifters and that matters not because these guys are lying about leg day but because their bullshit businesses are built on lying
