The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

The fact trans people are dying because medical professionals are more bothered about where they can lie down in bed than treating them is a stain this country should never be allowed to forget.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

"A data table summarizing the results of a literature review on various hormone therapy interventions for binary and non-binary groups. It lists ten intervention categories, detailing the number of full texts assessed, studies included, and studies excluded for each. The bottom row shows a total of 547 texts assessed, 17 studies included, and 530 studies excluded."

After Arkansas passed it's law banning care, it came out at trial when Dr. Michele Hutchison testified at least 4 trans youth in her care attempted suicide and were hospitalized. These anti trans laws are directly resulting in suicide attempts by trans youth.

Maternal sepsis waits for no one. In sepsis, hours, even minutes, matter — delays in treatment like source control can be fatal. It's no surprise research has linked some abortion delays and restrictions to higher maternal mortality.

Can we cut through the noise on the Epstein stuff? He was a billionaire financier to the elites, so of course a lot of people were in his orbit, but that is often going to be entirely separate from the noncing. If we could separate out the two, we can focus on the evil predators that we need to

Reminds me of the USA’s “ugly laws.” Simply by existing and living our lives (in this case, working to keep the population healthy) our existence is deemed offensive. It’s funny that the right characterise us as overly sensitive when apparently they feel harassed by our audacity to breathe.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.
