So who are the old racists?
“Liberals are the new racists” - ad by Bobby Jindal’s PAC — The audacity of Republicans on racism. They run the Supreme Court, Congress and the White House while deporting anybody brown, shooting anyone who gets in their way and firing as many African American women they can find in government jobs.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Claire was invited to give a Pride talk at my old workplace by her granddaughter in 2021. She delivered a very funny and sad account of transitioning in 1980s Ireland while running a business and holding public office. She was a true Dub and a courageous force for good. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

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?
We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/10...
