The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

Easily demagogued and propagandized
And the trend goes both ways, by the way.

The US government is telling Americans to hate Europeans and Canadians. And many have dutifully changed their opinions.

At least 556 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since a U.S.-brokered truce came into effect in October, including 24 on Wednesday and 30 on Saturday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The Gaza ceasefire began months ago. Here’s why the fighting persists.

It's hard out there folks. I think ICE got a memo that it's okay to point guns at civilians because there's multiple reports of it the last few days. Stay safe.

Epstein files made plain what should’ve already been clear. White billionaires and their political pawns have been funding and fomenting white supremacist nationalist uprisings across the Americas and Europe. An end democracy and international governance as a means for more land grabs and genocide.

Every news outlet, pundit and analyst who tries to tell you that Epstein was a Russian intelligence operative instead of an Israeli one is just telling you they're a propagandist. View it as a big flashing sign that says "Never trust anything from this source ever again."

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched.

Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4
