Is Amnesty putting targets on the backs of people who run these organisations? If so, shouldn’t they be investigated by the Charity Commission? #Amnesty #AmnestyOpposingWomen

You're losing badly so you double-down on the lies. @forwomen.scot in particular are three women volunteering their time for free and their action against #ScotGov was 70% paid for by small individual donations. You fucked around with women's rights and found out pal. You're welcome. 👍🏻
Duncan Hothersall@dhothersall.bsky.social · 4w agoThe reason people like Rowling, FWS and LGB Alliance throw around so many litigation threats - and use their bottomless pockets to follow through on a few of them - is to create a climate of fear to persuade organisations to reverse their support for LGBT causes. Sadly, lawfare works.
Sterilising children with off-label drugs without informed consent. This is a major scandal.
Concerns about Brighton's WellBN GP surgery were first raised with the NHS in 2020. Yesterday, in 2026, an independent investigation delivered its highly critical verdict. Gender-distressed children have been failed by the NHS again. Brighton GP prescribed sex hormones to children as young as 12.

In part true but this from the bloke who tried to pick apart #JKRowling without even speaking to her is a bit much. Never mind that Dunt was also part of the administration responsible for the demonisation of Muslims & migrants. Utter shyster.
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis is a failure of journalism, on a really basic level, but it is also a failure of political leadership. It was going to fall simply in the basis of what the previous govt did. But Starmer somehow conspired to actively spread the impression it was rising.

Gaza flotilla activists allege sexual assault and rape in Israeli detention
Israeli prison service denies claims of abuse during detention of 430 people trying to take aid to Palestinians Activists released from Israeli custody after being detained on a flotilla trying to take aid to Gaza were subjected to abuse, organisers have alleged, with several hospitalised with injuries and at least 15 reporting sexual assaults, including rape. Israel’s prison service denied the allegations, and Reuters was not able to verify them independently. Continue reading...

Tens of thousands rally in Havana in defense of Raúl Castro. Cubans are accusing the US of using the indictment as "pretext" for a military attack. They say they don't want a conflict, but they're willing to fight to defend the country. Also -

Jolly old Jolyon: a better (tax) lawyer than a writer of fiction - but that's a low bar!
Three Chinese vessels have navigated through the Strait of Hormuz recently with the facilitation and coordination of relevant sides, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning confirmed on Tuesday.
This is an appalling article by Phoebe Davis in the Observer. Freelance writer and journalist Janet Murray explains why:

Historic demonstration against the far right happening in London right now. Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life are marching against hate ( amnesty international)
Great to be on the @togetheralliance.bsky.social demo today - the range of groups was huge and diverse. Some political differences for sure but we stood together today in huge numbers against the Far-Right. #NoPasaran #Together

I'm no fan of Greens or Polanski but this is bad journalism. Daily Mail hacks spoke to 'extended family' 'none of whom now talk to him' As if that proves something. Extended families often don't even know each other! Going after families is rotten anyway to do so because he's Jewish is really low.
#Wolverhampton on our way to the #TogetherAlliance march against #racism & the far-right in London today. Coach overflowing, we're on the move!
As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage

At the 2016 Olympics, three men with DSDs took the top medals in the 800M Women's event. Lynsey Sharp, who placed sixth, explained in tears that it had been "difficult" to compete against Caster Semenya. The real winners: 🥇Melissa Bishop 🥈Joanna Jozwik 🥉Lynsey Sharp x.com/i/status/167...
🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating. Much of that devastation was avoidable. This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19
This devastating, emotional, 2-minute clip of the oral evidence from Professor Kevin Fong (@drkevinfong.bsky.social) discussing his hospital visits at the height of the second wave perhaps explains it best. 7/19

Nah, those of us who understand the significance of sex will be fine with it and so will the vast majority of the public. And in the Global South where a large majority of undiagnosed DSD cases exist it will be seen as justice. #SexMatters #IOC
