Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Reform picks anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin as its candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election.
A reminder that just a few months ago the BBC invited him onto Question Time as a supposedly independent "author and academic"

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

This is a great guide on how you can help support protestors even if you live outside of Minnesota. Note, especially, the bit about Ring cameras.

So is he for giving Hokkaido back to the Ainu and Okinawa to the Ryukyuans? Also, Fukui's population keeps shrinking, and making its government explicitly racist might not be the best strategy to attract people to the prefecture. But good luck with that monoculture, will surely be vibrant.
In one of his campaign videos, the winner of the Fukui gubernatorial race implored voters to help preserve the monoethnic nation

Fun story - Hugh Dennis got my name wrong so many times during a radio recording that all the other writers started yelling at him and from then on, whenever he saw me around he’d be like “SARA GIBBS”

This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

And once more, dropping the letter s from the word she.
Due to directives on balance, the BBC are reporting that yes she was shot dead at close range, but in many belief systems death is not an end but a new beginning, part of a neverending cycle of change.
