On Intersex Remembrance Day, we remember past harms and celebrate progress. Europe has taken a historic step and adopted the first-ever Recommendation protecting intersex peopleโ€™s human rights. Hereโ€™s Kitty Anderson, co-chair of European intersex organisation @oiieurope.org, on what this means.

84% of trans people polled by YouGov said Britain is โ€œfairly unsafeโ€ or โ€œvery unsafeโ€ for trans people. A terrifying story - founded on actual data - which the BBC still refused to carry.

Court convicts two donors for illegally diverting ยฃ100k to Eurosceptic think tank run by Nigel Farage's girlfriend. She definitely doesn't sound like the sort of person who would get involved with tax fraud on a house purchase.

A white journalist at a white BBC has made what looks like a hit piece about a white writer charged with racism by a number of writers of colour. The twist? The BBC attacks the writers of colour.

Solidarity with all Black and Brown people fighting to be treated with dignity. Screw the racist BBC.

These Trump fact checks are getting kind of long. Can we shorten things up on those columns and just tell us which parts are true? I feel like that would save a lot of time.

Cut benefits, cut minimum wage, raise retirement age, means test pensions, get rid of the NHS.

Why are you voting for Farage?

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

It's no coincidence, they targeted SNAP months ago.

Letโ€™s not take it for granted. Verhofstadt warns of rising authoritarianism, global instability, and the need for unity. Europe must respond โ€” together.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast donโ€™t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It's not just immigrants he hates.
It's women.
It's poor people.
It's Disabled People.
He even hates the people who vote for him, just like Trump.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
