Do you think this will stop here and roll back, now that these people have been shown they can demand and get this level of permission to run riot from government, police and press? Or do you think they will take this as the bare minimum, and push for more and worse.

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again. These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration. He has to go.

This is the scarcely believable testimony of Gaza journalist, Motasem A Dalloul. The tiny amounts of aid getting in to Gaza is used as bait in a Squid Game-style nightmare. Except this is real. Families forced to choose between dying of starvation or dying trying to get food. The end of days.

Each time, around 60,000 to 70,000 Palestinians converge at the designated site. Loudspeakers announce that when the green light turns on, people have just *10 minutes* to grab between 300 to 400 aid packages—though much of the critical supplies, like flour, sugar, and salt, are snatched up first by gangs and collaborators. After the 10-minute window, the light then turns yellow, signaling that only 5 minutes remain to flee before automatic machine guns open fire indiscriminately on anyone still in the area”

Just an agonising few kilometres away from the starving, thousands of tons of food aid lies wasting in the sun as the Israeli blockade continues. Gaza is now being systematically starved. The war crime of the 21st century. REST OF THE WORLD UPDATE: Still watching. (🎥 BBC)

NEW: Gaza hospitals now fill with children just the width of their bones. Doctors faint from hunger doing rounds & journalists trying to document cases are too weak to walk the wards [WaPo] Meanwhile, Israeli quadcopters hover over shelter tents shooting mothers while they breastfeed [Guardian]. 🧵

Extract from Guardian story which reads: In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

Moving piece about PIP cuts, and more generally the awfulness of PIP assessments, by Elsa Williams, an autistic writer who co-writes the (very funny) site The Daily Tism.

Elsa Williams@pidgewilliams.bsky.social · last yr.

Deep breath, lads. In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got. #TakingThePip

En direct, guerre à Gaza : « Gaza est l’endroit le plus affamé au monde », déclare un porte-parole de l’ONU

« C’est la seule zone délimitée, [le seul] pays ou territoire défini à l’intérieur d’un pays, où la totalité de la population est menacée de famine. 100 % de la population est menacée de famine », a lancé Jens Laerke, porte-parole du bureau de la coordination des affaires humanitaires de l’ONU, vendredi à Genève.

I was thinking if we changed the word 'trans' to 'gay' in UK tabloids it would bring me back to my youth so I did a quick Google search. Here's the first pictures that came up. Mostly from the 80s and 90s, although some from this century as well. Looks like the time of dinosaurs...

Exactly this. The Supreme Court ruling was on their interpretation of law as it stands, it’s up to Labour to enhance protections, fix grey areas and anomalies in law. They are in power.

This is so tone deaf Clive. Given your position, "standing up for trans" isn't just a couple of posts on social media and job done. It's new legislation reenshrining those lost rights. It's bringing in self-ID. It's funding NHS treatment and facing down Wes' eliminatory politics.
