If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
Repost if your account is a safe space for the trans community. 🏳️⚧️
A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide.
The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far.

There is no evidence that ivermectin works as a treatment for cancer.
Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.
The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

@fiercemum.bsky.social’s CURRENT research, consistently supports transition for trans kids. Meanwhile our NHS announces one tiny study informed by data from 1950,66,68 & 81 that informs their belief that transitioning’s a safeguarding risk. The manufacture of hateful cherrypicked evidence continues.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

I've got a tip for the PM that's going to blow his mind. If he thinks about the documents he puts his name to, he'll have to spend less time distancing himself from them.
This stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country
Labour is trying to create a permanent underclass who can be treated like dirt and live in permanent bureaucratic limbo.
As Tony Benn said. The way they treat people like this is the way they would treat all of us if they could get away with it.
Where next for Labour after a bad by-election defeat?
Labour needs to learn that a rebrand only works if the substance of what you are offering genuinely changes

Well, colour me shocked.
When you argue that transphobes 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.
To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period." ERIN REED FEB 25, 2026 88 5 21 Share Kansas Sate Capitol // farzinvousoughian
1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses.
Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
Remember the bullshit Tory HQ 'fact-checker' website run during the last General Election campaign? Well, Labour HQ has taken a leaf out of its playbook with a bullshit 'tactical voting' website.
Different rosette, same party.
But it's not "a cheap stunt."
Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.
It's expensive flying to the Maldives.
Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?
How much did it cost?

Reform is planning the destruction of the well-being of people, communities, ways of life and this country as it has always been, which is a small island state that has always offered a welcome to people who add value when they stay and make this their home. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...
Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.
On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.
On Thursday help us make hope normal again.
I have friends being threatened by their workplaces over the use of toilets they've been using for years without problem.
Sonia Sodha * @soniasodha X.com Scrapping the Equality Act would leave the door open to all kinds of terrible discrimination.

More than almost anyone else Sodha’s faux-reasonable anti-trans diatribes in the Guardian - claiming *concern* about women’s rights - contributed to undermining the Equality Act.
If Reform gets in cis women will lose every gain they fought for since the 1960s, thanks to “journalists” like her.

How many would sever links with the UK?
Most European countries do not charge University tuition fees
UK system is a mess.
One thing I find mind-boggling is just how quickly we went from "live and let live" and "mind your own business" to "get up in everyone else's business in case they have the temerity to be living in a way you don't like"

"He's more interested in going on the television than he is really representing the people."
"Reform are a bunch of grifters."
This constituent of Robert Jenrick doesn't hold back on his MP, after he defected to Reform.
Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.
Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.
Our priorities are so fucked.
