Now, S. Baum has uncovered that the Michigan State Medical Society has certified anti-trans hate group Genspect to teach medical workers.

Reminder: puppies are up for adoption, which you can see in the thread I'm quoting here, but in the meantime some more photos. They play a lot and they sleep a lot.

@dobbersw.bsky.social asking the *really* important questions here.
I think everyone needs to get a sense of perspective when it comes to Trump's threat to sue the BBC for 1 billion dollars.
What's most important here is not editorial independence, it's can the corporation survive long enough to reveal which old Doctor Who stories have been returned to the archive?

Let’s not forget Trump provoked the Capitol riot. He claimed the election was stolen. Lies. Said he won a landslide. Lies. Told supporters to protest. Said the protest would “be wild”. And claimed: “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”

Crisis-hit BBC is just another casualty of the collapse of the 20th century rulebook
Like the Tory-Labour duopoly and the NHS, the BBC is a hangover from an age that’s dying. We must find how to make the media relevant again,…

Authors, did you know you can ask your publisher if they have any spare books (not just yours) and if so to donate them to your local library (or reading room etc)? Did this a year or so ago when a community library was short on local history books and they sent a box full, so it's worth trying.

Reposting this excellent letter from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk with alt text. Given the way Farage has been attacking the BBC, I won't hold my breath for a response from him. Maybe the letter should also go to the Greens, SNP and Plaid, as well as NI parties?

If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-
BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister

HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

HITLER:
What we are proposing -
CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -
8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here
BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate
9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...
CHURCHILL:
