The fact we hate the people who are attacking the BBC is not reason enough to defend it. Our enemies' enemy is not necessarily our friend.
Revealing division in my timeline between (1) my insider friends who have lived privileged lives who are very keen that we defend the BBC and think it's important it survives and (2) my outsider friends who feel (at best) ambivalent about the BBC's survival.

We have some more good news for the trans community.
Following this decision (www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...) in June in which we stopped the EHRC's landlord's attempt to injunct trans people from protesting against the transphobic policies of the EHRC... goodlawproject.org/the-ehrc-is-...

The EHRC is silencing trans rights activists
The EHRC was created to protect our rights. Now it's trying to quash peaceful demonstrations

Doing your own research often yields terrifying results. Example:
The cost of treating transgender personnel in the US military between 2020 and 2024 only cost ~0.00062% of the US military budget in the same period.

At 3:30pm on Saturday 27th, we will be rallying at the Wheel of Liverpool to protest against the Labour Party's decision to cancel the Women's Conference. It must be reinstated, and it must be trans and non-binary inclusive. Details below 👇

Our members have had their say - and Pride in Labour is not endorsing any candidate for the Labour Party deputy leadership. It's obvious that the threshold to run in internal election is leaving members with poor choices to vote for.

What does real solidarity look like? Not rainbow lanyards. Not photo ops. Not warm words with no action. It looks like this.

As a UCLan SU rep, I’ve signed a letter urging the UK government to act for 40 Gazan students with UK uni offers. Visa barriers are blocking them, and some have already lost their lives waiting. This is a matter of life or death. Act now.

I have rescued a balloon.
It was flying through Preston's streets, distracting traffic and wowing pedestrians.
Now it's mine.

I understand that in part it's about safety and also part about customer experience but doesn't this feel a bit dystopian to anyone else?

After an hour, LGBT+ Labour committee members finally decided to turn up to their own social. The incompetence is worrying.

In one hour from now, #LGBTLabour was due to have their AGM. Instead, they decided to deny members the choice of who they want to lead the fight for equality, solidarity, and justice. They have questions to answer. The @transalliance.bsky.social will continue this fight.

In an hour, the LGBT+ Labour committee becomes illegitimate.
Members have been denied a vote, and @transalliance.bsky.social candidates denied the chance to participate.
This isn’t democracy. It’s a shutdown of accountability.

I am no longer the LGBT+ Officer for Preston Constituency Labour Party.
There are no malicious actors here, just unfortunate timings on my own finances causing my membership to temporarily enter arrears.
I wish the next LGBT Officer luck, they'll need it.

Their names are Andre and Diogo. May they rest in peace ❤️
I’m incredibly grateful to have visited the memorial today with my dad, the very reason I support this club.
LFC is more than a football team. It’s a family, and in times like these, that really shows.

If elected National Campaigns Officer, my first job will be working with the amazing @transalliance.bsky.social to help fix the broken house that is LGBT+ Labour.
When an organisation is this broken, there's no wonder it’s failed trans people. That ends soon.
