I loved season 1. Hated how later seasons ended up.

Members of the Patriotic Alliance are stopping cars with non-white people in them and harassing them like this. This is a hate crime, arrest these people.

📚 One of the Nazis’ first major book burnings targeted the world’s first Trans+ clinic, where more than 20,000 books and pieces of research into Trans+ lives were erased. For #BannedBooksWeek, from our archive with @smartypantsmarty.com 👇

This Nazi book burning happened at world’s first trans clinic
Book burnings are a historic image many of us recognise. But the connection to the transgender community is little known

I would have voted for such a motion. Zionism = racism is wrong. They are different things. In Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt argues antisemitism at different times in history was different things. Medieval AS was not the same as 20 century Nazi AS.

I would not have proposed that motion. It’s wrong and decisive .

FWIW, I’d have voted against. Zionism is Not the same thing as the way poc are treated in a white dominated country. Racism and Zionism and anti semitism are evils. But they’re not the same evils.

Is this the Zionism = racism vote? I think it’s inaccurate to say Zionism = racism. However Zionism is repugnant . It’s ethnonationalist. Its premise is one type of human can live in a specific territory- others should be expelled. It’s also expansionist. It’s a genocidal ideology.

So Labour’s answer is to take money of ALL pensioners because a minority don’t need it.

Not everyone gets a private pension. I have one but it’s small. I had a lot of jobs that were for less than 2 years. They gave me my pension contributions back less contribution to ni/ state pension. I was made redundant and put my severance pay into pension. That’s what I live on for rest of life.

Not really satire. It’s been happening for years. Market forces make 3rd world countries switch from food production to growing something that sells in the west. Then demand drops or crops fail and they have no money and no food.

If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.

A protester was struck over the head with a walking stick at Reform UK’s conference. Lee Anderson joked about a “quick whip-round” for the man whose stick was damaged. The bigger issue is what political leaders legitimise when they laugh at violence against protesters.

'Unpaid' never seen this term used to describe grifters before 🤔 Sex Matters has 8 employees and spends £331,985 on wages, of which £100k-110k goes to one individual. This is nearly half of their 'charitable' expenditure (£790.11k)

Fantastic work from WRN! It really shouldn't be up to unpaid grassroots women to force institutions to obey the law - but if those institutions won't do so voluntarily, they should be aware those women will step up

The point was that A) Fewer than half the population are adult women B) trans protests outnumber GC protests in size by at least a factor of 1000 GCs are a tiny minority supported by the right, the media and politicians. The majority of uk residents either support trans people or aren’t bothered.

Transphobes and their dodgy statistics again. The NION petition is being signed by women. The total UK population is only 69.5 million. More than 100,000 people marched on London Trans+ Pride in July. I bet you can’t show me a GC protest with one ten thousandth as many people.

Cìs is is actually a Latin prefix that’s been in use for more than 2000 years. Cisalpine Gaul was on the same side of the Alps as Rome. You’re embarrassingly ill informed bro. Cisgender is in the Oxford English Dictionary.
