It remains insane to me that we're watching the PSNI and Parades Commission entertain the prospect of sending riot police in because they refuse to admit they fucked up

TUV pushes ‘common sense’ Justice Bill change to house trans prisoners by biological sex
The TUV is to seek an ammendment to the Justice Bill that will ensure prisons are segregated based on biological sex and not a proscribed gender.

Trans kids are already pushed out of education. Denied qualifications. Denied a future. This will push so many more trans kids out of education entirely. How can I send my own daughter to school with this law in place? She would not cope.

A very deliberate sleight of hand by Badenoch here that I've seen from local conservatives too. The point is not to prevent kids from seeing this stuff, the point is that children, real children, are being abused by the creation of these images and that's bad even if the children don't see it.

From the PSNI’s abject failure protect communities or pursue arrests during the August 2024 far-right violence to to the leaked non-intervention orders issued to PSNI officers during the paramilitary backed far-right Ballymena violence and pogroms - alarm bells should be sounding. [1/4]
Belfast Telegraph text: 
“If you are an LGBT+ person, my advice is to protect yourself as best you can, keep (your) body-worn (camera) recording at all times.

“Don’t trust anyone inside the organisation and keep your head down. Don’t disclose your gender identity or sexual orientation, especially if you are a trans person.

“Your safety is more important than anything. The leadership and processes of this organisation will not protect you, you have to look out for yourself.”

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.
