I know people that were getting the healthcare they needed at the Tavistock Clinic before Emily Maitlis got it closed down. And now they're not getting any at all.

That Maitlis appears to be so proud of being instrumental in stripping an entire generation of trans youth of gender-affirming medical care - which has led to several suicides already - is quite frankly obscene.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. Or a social media app. She was murdered in cold blood with knives plunged into her 28 times by two 15-year-olds fed a constant stream of hate and dehumanization by UK corporate media and the UK government.
Two teenagers were radicalized by the transphobic political climate into seeing a 15 year old girl as less than human. They killed the girl, and then the girl's grieving mother chose to embark on a moral panic crusade against "self-harm", acquitting the actual perpetrators of her daughter's demise.

The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

Just been invited to the launch event of a report considering the 'future of the UK's research system' where they will be considering the creation of disruption labs named after Ada Lovelace and the report will be introduced by a panel of five men

"Take the phone away" is the first item on the list of action recommended by anti-trans parents' orgs.
Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

I mean, look. What paved the way for the way for the rise of the fascist right? I’m afraid it was professional Sensible Moderates screaming in idiot terror at the public about the thousand nations of transgender Bolshevik student totalitarians marching upon the Shire, to deprave their Hobbit-holes.

Yes the "liberal" press could take an interest in this one but the UK has no mainstream news outlet that isn’t extremely antitrans and thrilled to publish any lies in service of that agenda
At one point, the right wing press printed a story that 1000+ families were part of a law suit over Tavistock referrals for puberty blockers.
The only slight problem was that at that point, there hadn't even been a thousand kids referred.
OK so maybe a bigger problem was it was all MADE UP.

I was watching this and waiting for her to claim she was shut down by some kind of shadowy trans lobby conspiracy, but it's not even that! She's somehow citing the fact that she *wasn't* hindered from pursuing an anti-trans line as proof of pro-trans bias?!

This is most of the reason but remember it next time they tell you how important the senate is for allowing slow and careful deliberation and debate
The least sinister (but probably just as enraging) explanation has always been "they just wanna get out of the Senate chambers and off the clock." Why make the process take longer when they could fail quickly and go home?

Every senator let through the unanimous consent to make the whole thing take 5 minutes. Every one of them is lying to you about their opposition

Is that the promised vote? Does that count as fulfilling Thune's pledge?
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Demsas is back on her bullshit. She’s revised the incorrect justification she used before (Social Security) and replaced it with a new reason to punish immigrants: they dare to have children.
No mention of this penalty applies to US born kids of immigrants (also known as citizens)

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

Today is a great day to make sure you cancel ANY recurring donation to ANY sitting Democratic senator and especially to ANY of the party committees.
Yes, they will notice. Yes, they should all be afraid. Send a signal that they'll be held collectively responsible for this utter betrayal. 🧵
