"They're wrong." AOC calls out Democrats retreating on trans rights, warning that attacks on trans people threaten women's rights and bodily autonomy.

Pardoned by Donald Trump. • He was then accused by Illinois prosecutors of "Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child." • Indiana/Illinois records indicate his victim was 7 years old, and he pleaded guilty in May 2024 and was sentenced to 19 years in prison.

There’s a strong connection bw Rowling-ism and Trump’s policies on women. Rowling on a near-daily basis says she is “protecting women” by promoting anti-trans bias. It’s become almost an article of faith among her followers that assaults are committed by trans ppl, not predatory men

Everyone has heard of the blonde American swimmer who lost to a trans woman. Fewer know: 1. It was at college, not pro level. 2. Blondie lost out for 4th place. 3. Peer-reviewed expert scientific research show that trans women are at a disadvantage to non-trans women in sport*

Trump utters a solemn truth.

Solidarity. I support Abortion Rights and Trans Rights. I will always be an ally for both. I am not afraid.

Attacks on trans rights are attacks on bodily autonomy If you truly have trouble wrapping your head around the problem: Take a moment to consider that anything anti-trans is telling us that people can be told legally by their government that they have no control over their own bodies 

Saw a post saying Obama wasn't helping by being "smug" and that current events aren't "funny," and then went back to my book, which was talking about Churchill, and the sense he gave of sharing a small smile and wry joke with his listeners as he humorously disparaged the Nazis. Fun juxtaposition.

For-profit prisons for unaccompanied minors - during a time when ICE is separating children from their parents in the interior and mislabeling them unaccompanied. Think about where we’ve seen this before and under what conditions.

Leave her alone, for pity’s sake

I have a dream...

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

This won’t be reported widely, but Jason Arday has been cleared of plagiarism for a second time. Still nobody has been held accountable for this man’s death.

23 October 2026: The Daily Mirror leads on calls for former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to be stripped of his Privy Council title following a Covid inquiry report into care home deaths during the pandemic. #TomorrowsPapersToday

Shame on my ex-profession for failing to stand up to the rampant transphobia within NHS England and within its own ranks. ‘We know our actions will cause harm to trans people but we’ll do it anyway because we either a-believe trans people are less than or b-we are cowards’ Which one are you?

. Trump is lawless Across the board No wonder he’s terrified .

On #BBCQT Wes Streeting lists all the ways that Russia is a threat to the UK, except social media, where they interefered in the Brexit referendum, and continue to stoke division on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and elsewhere.

Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.” I hope the American people are also tired of it

62 times, courts, Juries, verdicts. FELON LOST 2020. End of story due to zero proof of interference OR FRAUD. **one phone call made by Prez Trump to Georgia begging for 11,700 more votes, recorded phone call. That was greasy.

They are SUNK

Tell that to university managers the world over.

Behind every Russian missile striking Ukraine is a supply chain that makes its production possible. The EU’s latest sanctions target 1,569 individuals and entities linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex, aiming to disrupt weapons production and limit Moscow’s ability to sustain its attacks.

In a troubling turn of events, Elon Musk reportedly played a pivotal role in limiting military support for Ukraine during a critical period of its ongoing conflict with Russia....

Attention, Ohio voters: Yes, the Community Note is correct. We just fact-checked it.

And in our case the government is too spineless to do anything about it because they refuse to tackle billionaires stealing from the public purse.

The persecution of trans ppl was part of the Holocaust. Yet the British govt is calling for schools to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Teachers will be able to talk about the Holocaust but >not< its trans victims, under this hateful UK govt! Transphobia & antisemitism are unacceptable & related.

Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.
