Gary Rosen: Bolsheviks are unsentimental killers; their program is to seize and hold state power through force and terror. The program of today’s DSA revolutionaries is expressive, romantic and, I would argue, only secondarily political. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Bolsheviks? The DSA is only cosplaying revolution.
The organization’s platform is sometimes horrifying — but also starry-eyed and naive.

TUC Motion 17 Erases Women From Their Own Rights “TUC Motion 17 commits 5.3m trade unionists to campaign for gender self-declaration. It never once uses the word “woman”. This is how a movement legislates over women’s rights while pretending not to see them.” 👍 heartlandstribune.com/tuc-motion-1...

TUC Motion 17 would change the law on who counts as a woman. It never names women. From single-sex spaces to Darlington nurses: what the TUC voted for.

This little girl is not a military target. She smiles and walks on a prosthetic leg while Russia keeps turning Ukrainian homes, hospitals and neighborhoods into targets. Before speaking of “compromises,” leaders should look at her. Those who want to shape the world do not get to look away.

The reaction to guidance explaining men can't lawfully identify into women's facilities & services shows how much society values men's demands for validation over women's privacy, safety and dignity. And that's why I've become blunter in saying: NO. comment.press/answer-is-no

I don't care about your male howls of anger. The answer is no.
The reaction to guidance explaining that men can't lawfully identify into female-only spaces was inevitable, but depressing.

If more jewish people spoke up like this admirable woman against Israel's racist genocide and bloodthirsty warmongering, there'd be a good deal less antisemitism. As it is, the impression - right or wrong - is of a lot of 'looking the other way' and 'Israel, right or wrong'...

If men who identify as female, like Roxanne Tickle below, feel uncomfortable or unsafe using male facilities, it is up to men to resolve this issue among themselves. Women should not be expected to feel uncomfortable or unsafe to accommodate a male problem that men have failed to address.
