yorkshire,,, is the WORST

that algorithm. such a tease

he’s a boring ex crackhead with 2 facial expressions who outsources all his emotions to an ever expanding retinue of dogs. and I’m a lesbian now (partly because of this conversation)

wait you’ve seen frankenhooker?

I look forward to seeing the same logic applied to the Darlington judgement 🤷‍♀️

as ever @kaycrosby.bsky.social is spot on - tactical silence around a small, non binding judgement should be tempered with contextual understanding of how trans politics is currently abandoning non binary people

ICE agents chased a family into their home, tried to kick the door in, and forced them to barricade inside. Then, one agent dangled their house keys in front of their Ring camera.

Incredibly disturbing to watch these agents’ unhinged behavior and the psychological terror they’re inflicting.

Never forget.

Mo Salah said: "Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?" In response to a tweet from UEFA that said: "Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times."

This is an incredible tweet for someone of his influence to make, and even more so as a direct question to UEFA

I sincerely hope that the relatively monied and doughty DOJ movement is willing and able to support those arrested today through their court processes and potentially beyond. I agree totally with them that these arrests are an obscenity.

the risk of actions like today’s is, unfortunately, that the UK courts are well set up to process hundreds of people quickly. this has been the case since the 2011 riots, when magistrate’s courts were pressed into service to try hundreds of people within weeks.

a terrorism conviction in the UK can affect your employment, your banking, your ability to travel, for the rest of your life. unlike other offences, it’s never “spent”, so will always show up on any credit or DBS check. for those without UK citizenship it can mean detention or deportation.

the grounds given for arrest were mostly s13 TACT. s13 doesn’t attract a jury trial, so these people if charged will all be prosecuted in magistrate’s courts, by district judges who know full well this tactic is an attempt to overthrow proscription powers.

(and their biometrics, and their phone data, of course.)

again, so far as I can tell, of those taken to stations, only those who have existing bail conditions are being interviewed. everyone else is being bailed once they’ve given their details.

as far as I can tell, only those who didn’t give their details on the street have been taken to stations (and lots of police station support is needed outside those stations! please, if you can, contact CASP on 07783 176190 and offer your time!) - the rest were bailed and let go.

lots of speculation about the police not having enough cells to cope.

most people tonight aren’t in cells. the majority were bailed in the open air processing area the police set up by the foreign office.

there was lots of talk pre today’s action about the proscription of PA being unenforceable. we saw it enforced today. police were keen on a show of force, it seems.

a very warm welcome to the UK’s 370-odd brand new terrorists!

hundreds of people arrested today, mostly in ldn, and mostly under s13 of the terrorism act 2000 (TACT 00)

oh look! it’s the inverted comma of finally shame, finally

*waves*

if you’re thinking of writing it I would loop in DSEI and international union opposition to the transportation of arms and point out there are very many accessible ways for people to make the UK an inhospitable place for arms manufacture and sales

no, and this is really important. it was buried in the enoch powell starmer speech, not sure where it was before then (manifesto?) so people lost it a bit

get fucked loser

Ballymena… I’ve seen a lot of pals frustrated at Republican commentary implying that this racism is a loyalist problem. but it’s complex right?

is there racism bound up in Irish nationalism? fuck yes.

but it it irrelevant to this situation that Ballymena is a prod hole, a squaddie town? fuck no.

Parliamentlive.tv Women and Equalities Committee

the full session of the Women and Equalities Committee today is below. it’s fairly heartening watching from a trans perspective. the clip above is 1hr 52min-ish in, or 16.17 GMT on the screen clock.

Faulkner sat there and said “article 8 rights don’t apply” to us.

Baroness Faulkner responds to the WEC, on the subject of trans people’s right to privacy: “we don’t think Article 8 rights apply… and we’ve taken legal advice to that effect.”

she doesn’t think article 8 rights apply to trans people.

who gave her this legal advice? I wonder.

This guidance applies to all new and expectant mothers. It’s important for employers to support them all equally. The legal protections outlined also apply to some transgender men, non-binary people and people with variations in sex characteristics, or who are intersex.

One argument the Supreme Court made in FWS was that sex had to have a trans-exclusionary definition or else trans men who give birth would lack protection. Here's what the Health and Safety Executive has to say on the matter, in guidance last updated on 10th March, one month before the FWS decision:
