This is an excellent article - I have some additional thoughts from a feminist perspective on the consequences of this Supreme Court judgment, rather than just my legal ones: Thread 🧵

Granddaughter out of surgery following bilateral nephrectomy. Drs say it's looking good. #NephSky

An influential "Gender Critical" activist was recently convicted of years of child abuse, including sexual and violent abuse, and calling children slurs for trans people She is still followed on Twitter by the majority of other influential GCs www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

Labels have geographic (bias) influence.

While Trump continues to violate SCOTUS’s order, I’m rephrasing the bear v man question. I’d be safer with KILMAR! Please share and keep the pressure on #BringKilmarHome

Woke up today. Trump's still alive. The Labour government in UK is still acting like the other lot. I'd go back to bed but I've got clients. #FML

The more you know history, the more it makes sense.

So…Police Scotland were out in force yesterday at Waverley Train Station stopping people suspected of being trans and checking their ID. Cis women’ too. No ID? Can’t go in. ‘Women’s Rights’ Gender Critical style. I refuse to believe 99% of British women want JKR Law. @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social

Everything's fine here....😆

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️

Women in the UK face being banned from female toilets and other spaces. This is a disgusting assault on human rights and female dignity. Share if you agree!!

1990's: Thank you for coming to this race to provide more telescopes nationwide! Yes, everyone is sweaty and glad to have helped w/ fundraising for telescopes. Now: I dunno why you think there are more stars out there than we initially predicted. You're wrong bc It's different than I expected.

Sign of the day…

“We have to create space for some imperfect allies,” Representative Sarah McBride tells Hanna Rosin. “We can’t dismiss them as bigots or remove them from our coalition, because then we will have a ceiling of 30 percent on any coalition and defense of anyone’s rights.”

The UK Supreme Court Define Woman - The News Is Broken

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Achievement unlocked! Cared for 1yo granddaughter on peritoneal dialysis & PEG fed for an entire long weekend. All the training and angst was worth it #NephSky

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

#NephSky Well, I'm a fully trained grandma! My 1yo granddaughter has kidney failure and I'm now qualified in delivering her home peritoneal dialysis and the PEG feeding. This means I get to look after her for the whole weekend. I'm absolutely terrified but her parents so need some time off

“…short period of uncertainty.” Perhaps if you’re referring to geologic time scales. 🫤

I strongly doubt the rest of the planet's 7 billion citizens are going to tolerate allowing one insane grandpa to do this to all of them for much longer.

@aoc.bsky.social Is this what America has become?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

"A democracy is no more than an aristocracy of orators. The people are so readily moved by demagogues that control must be exercised by the government over speech and press." ~ Thomas Hobbes

The accuracy....

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Watching from UK, I'm so sad for USA. You are under attack as surely as if you'd been carpet bombed, but the buildings remain undamaged. In the 17th Century, Hobbes wrote that without proper government the "lives of men are poor, brutish and short". Trump is not ruling, he's destroying rule.
