😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

6/ On the ILGA European league table for LGBTQIA+ rights, the UK has slipped from top spot to *28th position* for legal gender recognition and *22nd* for Equality and Non Discrimination. It is still dropping. One of the WORST in Europe. What a legacy you have created for future generations. 🙄

"it provides practical guidance" There's actually video evidence of you in parliament proving that it decidedly does not.

Given that it effectively overturned the GRA 2004, which was enacted to bring the UK, reluctantly, into compliance with EConHR then it is effectively illegal already. However, they're (EHRC & Gov) ignoring the law as who is going to enforce it?

There is no conflict of rights between cis women and trans women, only a conflict between the goals anti-trans, anti-feminist hate groups and the broad interests of all women

I look forward to hearing this again, in a documentary about what a shameful episode in our nation's history this was.

Make that 3 now… And still nobody cares. The only people that care are the genitalia obsessed transphobes. #BOGOFF

Shameful but can't expect anything more from a Human Rights Institute that had a former hate group founder appointed to lead it.

U.S. sanctions Brazilian judge targeted by Trump over Bolsonaro case

The sanctions come days before the U.S. is set to impose 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil, which are also partly in retaliation for Bolsonaro's ongoing criminal prosecution.

Not surprised to see the leader of the Conservatives being so dismissive about the very important role of local councillors btw, it’s her party that systematically attempted to destroy local government and all that it does

Today the UK is putting into practice aggressive restrictions on trans people using toilets and changing rooms. This follows a complex legal/political mess over two years. The UK was among the best countries in Europe on LGBTQ rights; now it's among the worst. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

"The Labour government has made a choice, one rooted in the patriarchy, to further police women’s bodies and exclude people who do not conform to arbitrary standards of femininity. ..we reject their Code of Practice and the colonial, misogynistic, sexist, and transphobic assumptions they employ" ✊🏼

The bar may have been on the floor, but this Labour government has still managed to crawl beneath it Labour's dangerous Code of Practice cements its place as the most misogynistic administration women in the UK have had to endure in a generation #DoNotComply

The transphobic and segregationist EHRC “guidance” will come back to haunt those who have implemented it. Bridget Phillipson and Andy Burnham will not be allowed to forget this as long as they live.

'I hope the EHRC code of practice haunts its architects'

The EHRC's anti-trans code of practice is now in force and if there's any justice, this will be the Labour Party's day of reckoning

Badenoch's two biggest flaws are that she's nowhere near as smart as she thinks she is and is incapable of admitting error. Both well illustrated by this fiasco.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine steps back from being a Conservative council candidate following backlash

New podcast! @patrickbromley.bsky.social and @riskeadam.bsky.social report from Flashback Weekend 2026 and go crazy reading Sutter Cane while talking IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS: www.fthismovie.com/2026/08/ftm-...

I included that in my response to the Code "consultation" as well. 😣 If one marginalised group's entitlement to equal treatment is contingent on others not feeling "discomfort or distress" in their presence, surely the same will apply to other marginalised groups. I suspect this was intentional.

Trans men can have a penis @mrjamesob.bsky.social They can also use urinals. And, while we are here, trans men are banned from the men's AND The women's under this update.

We wagered there would be a significant amount of trans people that feel like they cannot participate in society without exposing themselves to unsustainable stress levels - and we were right... over 300 keys sent out already... 1/4

This sums it up. He only sees angry posts about migrant rapists - so he doesn't realise that the vast majority of rapists are not migrants.
