The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

"Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said." [Times page 2]
Trans activists ‘wrong over single-sex code’
Geraldine Scott - Assistant Political Editor
Transgender rights activists are spreading misinformation about guidance that protects single-sex spaces by claiming it erodes trans people’s rights, the equalities regulator has said.

Mary-Ann Stephenson, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said criticism of its updated code of practice had made the “real alarm” felt by trans people worse by wrongly suggesting they had lost protections or would face sex checks.

Stephenson said women had also been affected by not having access to single-sex spaces. She said: “Women who believe that their right to privacy, dignity or safety have not been properly protected deserve to have those concerns taken seriously too.”

Last week the Liberal Democrats passed a conference motion branding the code discriminatory and “unworkable”.

At Labour’s conference Joanne Thomas, the general secretary of the Usdaw union and chairwoman of Labour Unions, said the law and the EHRC code would hurt trans and nonbinary people and argued that rights had been rolled back.

Stephenson said the code did not create new law or abolish protections for transgender people.

She said: “Recognising women’s need for access to single-sex services doesn’t require us to dismiss the rights of trans people. And recognising the vulnerability of trans people doesn’t require us to dismiss women’s concerns.”

The EHRC’s code of practice came into force in August, 16 months after the Supreme Court ruled that sex in relation to the Equality Act must be defined biologically. This means single-sex lavatories, changing rooms, hospital wards and refuges must be used based on a person’s birth sex, not the gender with which they identify.

The Good Law Project, which is backing a legal challenge against the code, accused the EHRC of producing “discriminatory” and “unworkable” guidance and said service providers which followed it would be “helping to strip trans pe…

The whole thing is a bigoted disgrace. The cis don't have to tell each other if they are married, if they have herpes, if they are a Tory, if they've been convicted of horrendous offences. But if we fail to disclose we're trans, off to prison we go and have to sign the sex offenders register.

We expect victims to be pure at the start and act as if they're being victimized, but the truth is people who have already made some bad or risky decisions tend to be easier prey. Until our understanding of rape fully internalizes this we wont see change.

Only 3% of rapists spend a day in jail. If you feel you need a court to convict someone for them to be a rapist, you are a rape apologist. If you don’t automatically believe survivors… you are a rape apologist. The courts don’t care about rape victims and justice for them. The stats prove it.

Look what I found.
Two-panel meme of a TV ad for a flex tape product.

Panel 1: A man, labeled "Bluesky Safety and Moderation", stands next to a giant, transparent tank of water. The tank is labeled "frequent posts hoping that trans people will die". It has a hole in it that water is pouring out of, and the man is winding his arm back to slap the tank.

Panel 2: SLAP! Closeup of his hand slapping tape over the hole. The hand and tape are labeled "mute the reports from trans people as abusive".

The Tompkins County DA says his office was never given the full transcript where the former Cornell student said, “I can say with 100% confidence I was raped.” Cornell says it turned over its investigation. So what exactly was sent, and why was that statement apparently missing?

We just hit 835 bills across 43 states for 2026. Since 2021, we've now hit a total of nearly 3500. I DO actually think we need to know about what bills are being introruced, by whom, and where actually, and I find it kind of frustrating that I seem to be alone in this. This isn't panic.

9/ Now's also the time to mask in crowded indoor spaces, especially if you’re at higher risk or spending time with someone who is. Air filters or even opening windows is also a great way to mitigate spread. If you're sick, stay home if possible.

It's ultimately cheaper to house an inmate. Also, in an opinion by the ACLU, they argue that the death penalty violates the US Constitution as a form of cruel and unusual punishment, the guarantee of due process, and equal protection of the law.
