The EHRC are stupid enough to do a blow-by-blow repeat of their previous shenanigans. I say: Yes, please do this - launch a deep investigation. Do it when our fugee-hunting Home Secretary is on TV, while Jeremy Vine asks callers whether black people can be British, while fascists riot in the street.

The Green Party has been referred to the equalities watchdog over its 'Zionism is racism' motion.
"The same group made similar complaints about antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn," says political correspondent
Terry Stiastny.

Because it’s a genocidal ethnostate expanding into the territory of its neighbours and murdering or expelling the residents, Nick. I appreciate that you don’t get to be a radio presenter unless you are willing to pretend you are an honest to god clueless moron, but that makes things a bit trickier.

LGBTIQA+ Greens: Statement on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election
LGBTIQA+ Greens: Statement on the Holborn and St Pancras by-election
We would like to thank Zack Polanski and all the Green Party members who campaigned hard in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, including our own members campaigning to elect our first gay MP and and our second LGBTIQA+ MP after Carla Denyer.
Zack held the Labour government to account over many issues including their complicity in the genocide in Gaza and failure to address cost of living in this country, while also standing firm against racist attacks from Reform against the now Labour MP Sagal Abdi-Wali. We are proud that we are a party that stands for everyone being able to engage in the democratic process regardless of their race, gender, or any other form of marginalisation. 
We want to congratulate Zack on more than tripling our vote share in Holborn and St Pancras, as well as increasing the Green Party membership from 50,000 to 200,000+ in the first year of his leadership. Additionally helping to get the Wales Green Party get their first two members of the Senedd, and our own membership of LGBTIQA+ Greens now being over 5,500. These increases show that the Green Party is a growing political force across England and Wales and we can build on this to win in future elections up and down the two countries.
We trust that Zack can deliver real hope and real change to people’s lives, including for those of us who are trans and queer as we desperately need a different direction right now for the country. So we hope the party will join us in coming together under his leadership and take the fight to Labour and Reform.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

I don’t care about changing men’s hearts or making them into feminists. I think serious attempts to do so are doomed to cooptation or failure. We cannot convince men to care about women and we don’t need to. The asymmetry in power is a given, so meaningful feminist action must be insurgent.

The thing that frustrates me most about this "third gender" stuff is that it's living proof of how transmisogyny is deeply baked into patriarchal cultures, and how the societal refusal to recognize trans womanhood is millennia old, but it's been turned into Noble Gender Savage fanfic by dipshits.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Gods. I'm sure that in many ways my country doesn't treat it much better, but that last sentence really makes me gag. Asking a rapist to write an essay on why rape is wrong is 'too punitive'.
Excerpt of a section from the text article on what university sexual assault proceedings look like, since Trump 1.0: 

'it cannot be punitive. Schools use really different definitions of punitive. The one that I was at would say that something like an agreement that the victim will only go to the library in the morning and the perpetrator will only go to the library in the afternoon would be considered punitive. It also did not allow for apologies or reflection essays because they found those to be too punitive for a perpetrator.'

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

I can't find a gif (and I'm on the train rn), but the one I can distinctly remember being deeply terrified by was the ghost stretching out her long arm and abducting a baby through an open window, from Ghostbusters 2.
Baby Oscar is standing at the open window of a tall building, and a dark blue ghost nanny-type lady floating outside the window is stretching out a massively elongated arm to grab him

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.
