Usha Vance didn’t like her husband suggesting she needed to be fixed. She made him sleep on the couch but for some reason that didn’t work.

At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine.

One guy had his Bible taken and was told "here there is no right to religion."
"I am Leamsy La Figura. We've been here at Alcatraz since Friday. There's over 400 people here. There's no water to take a bath, it's been four days since I've taken a bath," he said. He claimed the food at the immigration facility is scarce and unsanitary. "They only brought a meal once a day and it had maggots. They never take off the lights for 24 hours. The mosquitoes are as big as elephants," La Figura said. Detainees say rights are being violated Other detainees echoed La Figura's concerns, alleging violations of their basic rights. "They're not respecting our human rights," one man said during the same call. "We're human beings; we're not dogs. We're like rats in an experiment." "I don't know their motive for doing this, if it's a form of torture. A lot of us have our residency documents and we don't understand why we're here," he added. A third detainee, who said he is Colombian, described deteriorating mental health and lack of access to necessary medical care. "I'm on the edge of losing my mind. I've gone three days without taking my medicine," he said. "It's impossible to sleep with this white light that's on all day." He also claimed his Bible was confiscated. "They took the Bible I had and they said here there is no right to religion. And my Bible is the one thing that keeps my faith, and now I'm losing my faith," he said.

This is just the NHS admitting they are denying treatent to trans children
‘Holistic’ care not hormones for children’s gender treatment on NHS Ben Spencer - Science Editor Camilla Kingdon, a paediatrician, says the subject has been “toxic”. No new prescriptions for cross-sex hormones have been issued to children since the controversial Tavistock gender clinic in London was replaced a year ago, NHS leaders have said. The new NHS children’s gender service prioritises “holistic” care for children with gender dysphoria rather than fast-tracking them on to hormones, an accusation that was levelled at the Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) before it closed in March last year. The service, which is running at Great Ormond Street in London, Alder Hey in Liverpool and Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, has also prescribed no new puberty blockers, which are banned until a clinical trial starts later this year, pending ethical approval. It marks a fundamental switch in approach to the treatment of children with gender dysphoria, with doctors slowing down the route to prescribing hormonal drugs. Between April 2018 and December 2022, a fifth of patients referred to Gids were put on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones or both. A year ago, a review of the Tavistock service by the paediatrician Baroness Cass criticised the “greater readiness” to use hormones for gender dysphoria despite “remarkably weak evidence” for their use. Her report said: “Some practitioners abandoned normal clinical approaches to holistic assessment, which has meant that this group of young people have been exceptionalised compared to other young people with similarly complex presentations. They deserve very much better.” Cross-sex hormones induce physical changes to allow patients to develop bodily features that align with a different gender identity. Those born male take oestrogen to develop breasts and redistribute fat and muscle mass; those born female take testosterone to deepen the voice, increase muscle mass and develop facial and body hair. Children prescribed the drugs at the Tavistock are continuing to receive their prescriptions. James Palmer, NHS England’s national medical director for specialised services, stressed that the door for the new prescription of cross-sex hormones was still open. “There may be a circumstance where it is important for care,” he said. “The services need the option of taking someone into masculinising or feminising hormones, if that really is the most important thing to be done. But the services have not identified an individual yet for whom it would be a really important bit of their care pathway.” If doctors decide there is a case for hormones to be prescribed, the decision must be agreed by a national multidisciplinary team of experts, chaired by Camilla Kingdon, the former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. She said the new service was about more than hormones. “This is not just about endocrinology. It’s about a holistic assessment of a child or young person within the context of their family. “That means very detailed assessments looking at the child’s wider physical health, mental health, thinking about the child in the context of their school and so on. It involves psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, clinical nurse specialists, speech therapists, occupational therapists.” Recruitment has begun to open a fourth gender centre at Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge, with eight planned across the country, each seeing 25 new child patients a month. Kingdon, who also chairs the provider network of new NHS gender clinics, said finding staff has been a struggle. “That’s due to the politicised and sometimes toxic nature of this topic,” she said. “It’s not necessarily the sort of environment that has people queueing up to work in it.” Palmer said a particular challenge had been navigating “a hugely divided lobby of stakeholders”, adding: “There’s the very liberal end of the spectrum that think [we should focus purely] on access to a transitional arrangement. At the other end, people say NHS resources should not be spent on this area at all.” Great Ormond Street and Alder Hey children’s gender services opened in June and Bristol started seeing patients in November. So far, 250 children have been seen, with a waiting list of 6,000 that is coming down after peaking in February. “When we started, we had some individuals waiting for more than six years to be seen,” Palmer said. “By the summer, if our maths is correct, no one will be waiting for more than four years to be seen, but it will take another three or four years to get to ... something much more manageable.”

After the Ferguson Riots of 2014, six leaders and community organizers died under suspicious circumstances, deemed by police as suicides. Including one man who was shot and immolated in a burning car.

Most infighting on the left in the US is simply due to the US government spending a century shooting any leftist leader in the head and strangling every organization with.

You've never seen a healthy, thriving leftist movement in the US, a Pinkerton put a bullet in its head a century ago

Oct. 7 statement from the UK's PM

Israelis are "brutally murdered"

Palestinians & Lebanese "bear the ongoing dire consequences of this conflict". No mentions of Syrians or Yemenis.

To the west, only some life matters. Some killers are denounced whilst others are erased, along with their victims.

Trans rights are human rights, but conversely human rights are trans rights, because if you allow them to dismantle trans people's human rights you let them set out a clear pathway for them to dismantle other people's human rights, and that's a genie that can't be put back in the toothpaste tube

The UK's mainstream news media is instutionally rotten and needs to be liquidated for the sake of the survival of trans people.
A graph showing the British attitude to supporting/opposing allowing people to change their legal sex (begining at 59% and 22% respectively in 2016 to 30% and 39% respectively in 2022) A bar graph comparing the quality of the coverage of trans people in the Daily Mail (positive, negative, and neutral). In the first months of each year from 2016-2021 the numbers hover between 22 and 38 stories (mostly negative or neutral) before rising to 51 in 2022 (mostly negative) and rocketing to 115 in 2023 (almost universally negative)
