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.
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.
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

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.
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!

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.

Palestine Action are declared terrorists for fighting against a fascist genocide, while actual armed fascists planning political murders are endorsed by half the British establishment.
"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone."
EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.
The BMA put out a statement on NHS Guidance that is far better and inclusive than the one put out by the UK's so called leading LGBTQ+ charity @stonewalluk.bsky.social if only they could defend trans people as well.

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

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.
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 supreme court: here is a disgustingly corrupt and misogynist ruling.
jess phillips: woooo! yeah! fuckin' a! take that trannies!
the supreme court: here is a disgustingly corrupt and misogynist ruling.
jess phillips: what? wait... no. this isn't fair. what the hell now?
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.

Nobody *needs* to spend xmas on their ones.
Striking how ideologically-captured the BBC has become when looking at its reporting on trans hospital changes, and just how much heavy lifting 'biological sex' is doing.
Explaining that a woman with a vulva, breasts, and typically female hormone profile should be put on a men's ward? Difficult...
We have updated our joint statement now that we have had time to initially digest the full guidance.
It is unclear how this guidance will be implemented in practice, and NHS providers must remember their duties to trans patients in taking decisions:

Seen so much written, and heard so much commentary on the Greens and the Zionism is Racism motion
Know what word has been barely uttered in all of those thousands of words spoken and written?
Genocide
Erasure of genocide continues, and no outrage about that from the vocal people in politics/media

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
