The SNP have just allowed Reform and the Tories to do the dirty work for them on blocking climate action. Right wing MSPs voted down our @scottishgreens.org amendment opposing the Rosebank oil field while SNP MSPs abstained. That's an abdication of responsibility.

A thousand times what Jess says here. Cis folks, just because you can see a discussion, doesn't mean that you need to wade in and explain what you think we should or shouldn't be doing/saying. You are not the experts here, do not have lived experience, and we don't need tone policing/patronising.

I don't need the guidance of cis people on how and whether I should publicly discuss my own oppression. Many thanks.

The Burnham government is happy to listen to transphobes galore but will move mountains to avoid listening to any trans people.

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Okay, we won't bury the lede about Glasgow in the @ukgsm.bsky.social, it went down from 224* to 155, and it's not the only massive change between this year and last. How is that possible? Well Clare's interview tells us that too...

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Guardian reports Police Scotland will get round to watching the documentary at some point ... No rush lads.

What's remarkable about this article is that there's no mention of the police. No mention of a charge, an investigation, an arrest, even an interview www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

five2one.bsky.social reposted

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Imagine if a prominent trans person posted this? The ‘gender critical’ transphobes would be jumping up and down on Mumsnet, have a front page Times article saying how all “trans activists” (aka trans people) are violent, while running to the billionaire bigot to fund intimidatory legal action!

THE NHS IS KILLING US Via the new EHRC Guidance, the NHS has set into motion segregationist policies which, in their trial, have ALREADY killed, and will no doubt kill more. Our demands remain the same: DISCLOSE THE DEATH TOLL DROP THE EHRC xoxo BASH BACK #justiceforjoelle

Labour’s decision to approve Jackdaw is climate vandalism. It will make the UK even more dependent on gas despite its wildly fluctuating prices in the global market. That will do absolutely nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

five2one.bsky.social reposted

Jackdaw will not bring down bills or protect jobs. This is an irresponsible decision from a government that seems to care more about the profits of fossil fuel companies than the money in your pocket or the safety of our planet.

The NHS knows that its new policy is going to harm patients, and it's doing it anyway. It is an active choice being made by this Labour government – don't let them pretend their hands are bound.

Just want to remind everyone that Tonia asked wacky 5G conspiracy questions in the House.

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

how many beds are in an emergency ward, 4? 8? the chances of 1 out of a random 7 other patients being a trans woman is approximately 0.6%

it’s incredible that hardcore transphobes keep finding themselves encountering trans people in extremely statistically improbable places

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC
