When you argue that fascists should be defeated through debate what you're actually suggesting is that vulnerable minorities should have to endlessly argue for their right to exist and that at no point should the debate be considered over and won.

Excellent analysis. There is no sugarcoating what is happening here in Germany. Most of the political centre is enabling if not actively supporting the rise of fascism. The Left‘s remarkable performance in the Berlin elections is not being heralded as an earthquake but treated as a threat.

A graffiti style drawing I did of a drink can with the words "Gender Fluid," a pun on the genderfluid flag. I used the genderfluid flag colours as a palette with which to draw the can and its branding, as well as the abstract swoosh design behind it. For context, the genderfluid flag is five horizontal stripes in these colours in this specific order from top to bottom: a warm baby pink, white, almost neon purple, black, and ultramarine blue

The police continue to be the danger they want you to think trans people are [Mail]
‘I know the law and you need to say yes’
Court told what drunk WPC allegedly said to female victim before sexually assaulting her
Daily Mail22 Sep 2026By Jack Hardy
A FEMALE police officer told another woman ‘I know the law’ before sexually assaulting her, a court has heard.

Fiona Anderson, a police constable with Devon and Cornwall Police, is on trial accused of two counts of sexual assault in 2018 while she was visiting Cardiff.

Anderson, 33, is alleged to have performed a sex act on the other woman without consent, while she is also accused of touching the alleged victim’s intimate parts without consent. She denies the charges.

The two incidents reportedly took place in Cardiff while the defendant was off duty.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

So a SurveyMonkey link, advertised in a free magazine given to GP practices. The suggestion being that the rate of positive diagnosis for referred patients is "suspiciously high" for those GPs referring patients for assessment. Maybe because the process and stigma self selects out so many?
The survey was open between 13 April and 7 May 2026, collating responses using the SurveyMonkey tool. The survey was advertised to our readers via the Pulse Today website and email newsletters, with a prize draw for a £500 voucher as an incentive to complete the survey. The survey was unweighted, and we do not claim this to be scientific – only a snapshot of the GP population. In total, 829 GPs answered the survey. To work out the averages, we applied a midpoint analysis to each question.

Donna wasn’t terminal, yet she received expedited Assisted Death for malnourishment. The first time a doctor suggested MAiD to me, it was also for starvation. Something a GI consult or a feeding tube could fix. The Canadian government says MAiD saved $86.9 million over palliative care. Eugenics.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
The London Assembly, spurred on by Reform UK, have elected to publicly condemn BASH BACK. This is a blatant attempt to distract from a wave of fascist and anti-trans violence conducted and spurred on by the state, politicians, and right-wing agitators. We won't be intimidated (1/2)
"London Assembly Publicly Condemns BASH BACK at Behest of Reform UK.
We won't be intimidated. Statement follows.""On 10th september 2026, the London Assembly voted to publicly condemn BASH BACK and call for its proscription by the Home Secretary.

This vote was called by alex wilson am of Reform UK, and voted through exclusively by Conservative and Reform Party members of the Assembly, with Lib Dems and Green members voting against, and Labour AMs abstaining.

This is a blatant attempt by the fascist right to criminalise disruptive non-violent protest as the state increases its stranglehold on trans lives, and Reform and the Conservatives celebrate violence within their own parties."Justifying their decision the Assembly have relied on the language of disgraced former MP and alleged sex-pest and bully John Woodcock (which we critiqued in our article for Freedom Press), as well as parroting the lie that BASH BACK is a violent organisation, due to - apparently - our depictions of hammers on social media. 

In doing this, Britain’s right have shamelessly weaponised the legacy of Jo Cox, whose murder by a neo-Nazi has long since been used to justify acts of authoritarian state violence, rather than to critique or condemn the xenophobic fascism that informed her murderer. 

Why? Because Reform UK practice that exact same kind of nationalist authoritarianism.

Reform have used BASH BACK - a non-violent group - as a scapegoat to evade their ideological connection to a wave of increasing anti-migrant and fascist violenceEchoing Woodcock, the Assembly also goes on to make serious accusations about our group surrounding the death of Anne Widdicombe, tantamount to interfering with a police investigation.

Despite stating this numerous times in the past, we must once again maintain that we do not practice any form of violence against any individual, and would never endorse or celebrate such violence. We never commented on Anne Widdicombe or her death before these accusations, and we do not wish physical harm on any individual. 



The same, however, cannot be said for Reform UK.

Free political advice, most people are fairly tuned out when it comes to trans rights yet find it deeply weird to be obsessed with trans people, transphobia is the remit of billionaire pedophiles, and if you're adopting anti-trans stances, that's who it looks like you're serving the interests of.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
