This phenomenon is key to much of the transphobic press, though the individuals in question may vary: It’s a feedback loop of successively amplified lies

The juxtaposition of her reports and the anti-trans media circuit creates a feedback loop, where far-right newsrooms and groups publish anti-trans propaganda, receive validation from Alsalem, and then spit it back out as if the source were the United Nations itself.

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Fuck's sake. I watched this evening's @channel4news.bsky.social over dinner which left me with a tiny hope of of "well, at least we're not enabling this". Now that's gone too. It is quite astonishing that Kier can stand upright without a spine.

Starmer: "Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them... The only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source... The US has requested permission to use UK bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose. We have taken the decision to accept this request."

New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW. I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.

Labour’s Section 28 is here – act now

In May 1988, the Conservative government introduced Section 28. This legal measure outlawed support for “homosexuality as a pretended family relationship” across Britain, especially in …
