Too many Democrats concede as "fact" the stereotype-driven propaganda that far-right groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom have promoted: that trans athletes at all ages and forever have a competitive advantage and that safety, even, is at issue.

Republicans are putting transphobia on the November ballot in seven questions in five states. The measures reflect broad anti-feminist aims, from "sex verification" for girls to limits on reproductive rights, an analysis by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social for Assigned Media and Important Context finds.

Once the majority has decided a marginalized group is the demon in one part of a story, it’s easier to paint them as demons in another.

Zack Polanski rings the alarm on the security service report in food security impact of climate change. Starmer tried to bury it. Burnham still sits on it. Only the Greens are bold enough.
THE REPORT THEY TRIED TO HIDE.
Empty shelves.
Water shortages.
Food security at risk.
The government cannot keep hiding the scale of the threat. It must release the report in full and act on it.

As a parent of a trans kiddo - medical care for trans care is clear, has medical recommendations, and does not need you sticking your nose into the business.
The only debate is an existential one. Either you support trans people, or you think they don't deserve to exist.
Everything else is noise.

The idea that we are fundamentally averse to the idea that machines can think is BS. Human beings are actually very much inclined to believe machines can think. Our sci-fi sense of wonder is being exploited by charlatans. We do not accept PR and propaganda that are wholly unsupported by the facts.

Important to remember today:
If ANY Labour MP talks about “respecting” the Supreme Court misjudgement, they are *lying* to you.
Parliament can overturn ANY SC decision & the government can amend the Equality Act to include trans people.
The SC misjudgement still stands because Labour WANTS it to.
