‘Take Us To Your Biggest Pedophile’ Demand Surprisingly Politically Informed Aliens

When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent. ~ Issac Asimov #ThoughtfulThursday

Hi Bylines, can you explain why you have commissioned this person to write an article about Pride for you? Here they are repeatedly misgendering a murdered trans child.

Oh wow – I just realised that North West Bylines have asked *this person* to write an article about Pride for them.

hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering

between SFPD storming the trans march on friday and bringing out a whole riot team to violently assault trans people out clubbing on saturday (ZERO articles about this), the brutality during pride weekend is unconscionable. please support everyone who was arrested. if you wanna be an ally, chip in:

As we know, the BBC is institutionally transphobic - but the worst part is BBC Rad 4. You feel it when you walk into their newsroom and studio. Hairs prickle. Gender Crit is viewed as normal - trans folk the equiv of climate deniers. Today, Woman’s Hour and Justin Webb all treated me like a criminal

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jun Advocate Ex-Marine Graham Platner, seeking to unseat anti-trans ME Sen. Susan Collins, goes all-in, calls MAGA crusade "just a mechanism of people with a lot of money to get us all divided around culture war issues so we don’t talk about raising their taxes.”

Starmer waged war on our human rights, aided a genocide and has destroyed Labour's credibility – don't let the door hit you on the way out!! By @skwawkbox.org

This basically. Labour has relentlessly increased the salience of the issues Reform prioritises, whilst winning over basically no Reform voters, and simultaneously alienating their own base. It's just terrible politics.

“The EHRC has now become a mouthpiece for the gender critical movement. It is using the language of “women’s rights” in order to interpret equality law to require the exclusion of trans and intersex people from public spaces.” - The Lemkin Institute for Genocide prevention & Human Security

Very reminiscent of 1930s Germany demonisation. Approved by the Edinburgh Funder.

“A trans or intersex person would not be able to use any toilet in a UK establishment is not impossible – and is in fact likely. This is abhorrent and a complete failure on the part of the EHRC to consider the most basic needs of the trans & intersex communities, who are just as human as cis people”

Amnesty International exposed years of anti-trans reporting at four UK newspapers. They ignored it. Research by human rights group identifies nearly 17,000 articles on trans-related topics in just five years

Another round of praise for the pope means we will once again remind that the Catholic Church hierarchy — including the papacy — is a major part of the escalating genocide we face. The church's ban on all trans healthcare throughout its massive (and growing) networks is devastating to trans lives.

This is how @bbcnews rewrite a story about the NHS forcibly detransitioning trans kids . Full of terf phrases. The BBC has no interest in the 50+ deaths since puberty blockers and hrt were withdrawn - or Wes Streeting’s conversion therapy. Guessing the parent group mentioned is religious.

What a guy

How can we live in a system where a bunch of hateful freaks can write into law that trans women don't need breast cancer screening or gynecologists when it's literally a fact we do? I'm so angry about how observable reality and scientific fact is not remotely considered in any of this stupid process

its hard to overstate how absurd how it is that every dipshit white guy now has a political opinion on how, when, and whether me and people like me should be legally allowed to receive healthcare

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

Décès d'un de nos maître à penser Edgar Morin. De cette facette du sociologue, les médias, qui se sentent obligé de lui rendre hommage, ne parlent pas.

This section by the awesome @ludovicparsons.bsky.social in QAF sums up in a nutshell the nature of the entire campaign against trans people by the rightwing media establishment. These “journalists” are also the ones claiming that - somehow - trans people are silencing transphobes.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

Man with Flamethrower Waiting for Appropriate Time to Use It

Dave Chappelle is the most disingenuous person in comedy. He's repeating the same grift of "disavowing old material" that he did after Chappelle's Show, insisting the only thing wrong with his material was how fans interpreted it. Hopefully history repeats and he leaves the public eye for a decade.

i think a cool thing is that every time some right winger is revealed to have, let’s say, a non-normative sexuality, i get to hear what liberals really think about me but feel they can’t voice :)

Pope has the opportunity to do the funniest thing…

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

Here’s a taste of why you need to hear from Madeleine Pape today of all days.

To me it is perfectly reasonable to dislike the Iranian regime and its awful human rights failings but also to oppose this war on legal and moral grounds. In fact to me this is the only reasonable position to take.

In my @ms.now column from Sunday I noted how every time there's a vote on trans issues in congress, the NY Times runs an opinion piece calling for Democrats to abandon trans people. For the SAVE America Act, they ran two. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The BBC's Lucy Williamson says Israel is destroying south Lebanon "using Gaza as a model – a blueprint for destruction used again as a path to peace". That's right: genocide as "a path to peace". War is Peace. Very Orwellian The BBC is a disgrace. #bbcbias

Disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman supports fascists who are literally destroying the world, he supports war crimes/crimes against humanity and now he supports eliminating mail-in voting. He’s not a Democrat, he’s a piece of shit MAGA plant who needs to be fired.

just got called an "elder zoomer" and i think that that should be a crime

‘NY Times’ Columnists Hold Roundtable To Determine What’s Wrong With Them https://theonion.com/ny-times-columnists-hold-roundtable-to-determine-whats-wrong-with-them/

“She’s the exception, I am the rule.” Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!

“He’s gonna have to say it out loud eventually, and it feels like he could take it in some kind of insane direction like HOOR-muzz or maybe horm-SUH,” said Arkansas resident Janet Flitchen
