Authoritarian regime grabs electronic communication devices of prominent opposition member. Since it’s highly unlikely there is anything on her phone about immigration paperwork from 30 years ago we can assume this just became a fishing expedition.

Universities are tearing apart the humanities, arts and social sciences. Courses are closing, jobs are disappearing, and students and staff are paying the price. At Exeter, 85% of proposed job cuts targeted these disciplines. We need university leaders who will defend education mot destroy it.

The EHRC chair either does not understand the principle of rights, or has decided to gaslight trans individuals while stripping those rights. The EHCR code undermines, and, arguably in several ways, outright violates rights for trans individuals, including Articles 8, 11, and 14 of the ECHR. 1/

One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.

Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says

The UK's new plan for trans students: bathroom bans, forced outing, & no social transitions

The plan is likely to place trans and gender non-conforming children at greater risk.

Single-sex spaces open to the public, such as toilets and changing rooms, should be organised based on biological sex, according to official guidance that has come into force.

The code, published by Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), says trans people should use either gender-neutral facilities or the ones that match their biological sex, in places such as gym changing rooms or rape crisis centres.

Trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population, data shows

By Alice McCool and Ludovic Parsons

Investigation finds that trans people make up 1% of the UK population and 7% of child suicides, but official data is full of holes

This can’t be. I was assured by the Manhattan Institute that this sort of thing never happens.

To use everyone's favorite phrase, I wrote about why the reported attempt to denaturalize Ilhan Omar is outrageous as an American and yes As A Jew for @forward.com forward.com/opinion/8561...

forward.com

Whatever you think of Ilhan Omar, these threats are unconscionable

American Jews should oppose the intimidation and denaturalization of the Minnesota Congresswoman

She is not wrong. It has been repeatedly shown that a slowdown in care for patients because of lack of space or other obstacles leads to worse care outcomes. This is going to lead to trans people being left deteriorating and dying in corridors because they cannot find a 'third space' room for them.

The NHS's revised guidance on single-sex wards is cruel, unworkable and LGBTIQA+ Greens calls on Labour to withdraw it and reform the Equality Act.

The NHS revised guidance does not offer privacy, dignity or safety to trans people.
Placing trans people on the incorrect “same-sex” hospital wards by default is wrong and unworkable, which is why it also states exceptions for clinical need and a mention of alternative provision.
This is a continuation of the incomprehensible interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 that the supreme court ruled for. We call on the Labour government to withdraw this guidance and reform the Equality Act to end the policing of trans people in single gendered spaces.

Absolutely dying laughing at 'heavily medicated' at the time. Yeah, I remember when I hurt my arm and was on codeine, I too started seeing secret Muslims whenever I looked at the Royal Family.

On Michael Gove breaking up with his girlfriend days before the papers revealed she was in possession of CSAM, I recall when a British student journalist and American producer rocked the world with their exposé on the Trojan Horse Affair, revealing the foundations of Gove’s Prevent was fabricated…
