Important bleak thread on withdrawal of care for trans kids. NHS England has no concern for their health. Doctors have shown themselves to be willing participants or cowards in the face of gender fascism.

Fatima converted to Islam in the 1880s after joining Liverpool's temperance movement. She was a working class woman who saw Islam as a hope for social reform and female emancipation. She was a cofounder of UKs first mosque where she also taught. Unlike her male contemporaries, she was forgotten

This is long overdue, & a good reference point for tackling one of the darkest aspects of Norway's history. That the most populist right-wing party opposed the measure is an important sign that this motion is very, very necessary.

Abortion isn't legal in the UK, but is legally permitted in certain circumstances. This places it in a precarious position. Actually making abortion legal would give it a firmer foundation should the right want to go all project 2025 in the UK as well.

Everyone always reaches for Cable Street in these moments, but London kept fighting fascists for decades: this is a picture of Mosley trying to hold a rally in Hackney and being punched to the ground by antifascists literally as soon as the meeting opened 💪
Large crowd gathered in Ridley Road E8 to demonstrate against former fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and members of his anti-Semitic Blackshirt group who had planned a rally in London's East End. Mosley and his anti-Semitic Blackshirt were assaulted and punched to the ground as soon as his meeting opened at Ridley Road, Dalston. Police closed the meeting within the first three minutes and made 54 arrests, one which was Sir Oswald's son Max., our picture Shows: Sir Oswald Mosley (centre) after being knocked to the ground by anti fascist demonstrators as he makes his way to the lorry where he is making a speech, 31st July 1962.
