We send our solidarity to the convoy which is heading to Gaza to break the siege and end the genocide of Palestinian people.

Activists from CND Cymru have joined it, our eyes, the eyes of Wales and the world are on this convoy ✊🇵🇸

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.
Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.

They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?
The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

Corbyn's Labour Party were endlessly smeared as rigid ideologues too steeped in Stalinist propaganda to hear the genuine, legitimate concerns of the British voter. Many of the people who made those smears now watch McSweeney repeatedly smash the Blue Labour button at every hurdle and are silent.
Hearing those six voters all wrote “I hate Ed miliband” on their ballots

It's a pretty old book now but Arjun Appadurai's "Fear of Small Numbers" is a great essay on why moral panics over minority groups can actually get more intense the smaller that group is. I often think of it these days.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

In a few years time genius Labour strategists are gonna be very confused when the public concludes that if everyone agrees Reform policies are the best you're actually better off voting for Reform rather than Labour. They'll then draw the lesson that Labour should be a little bit more like Reform.

This is a solid rule. I used to work for a large academy trust, emailing people at all levels of the org. Teachers, teaching assistants, administrators - the emails would have at least 2 paragraphs and a proper sign-off.
Executive level and principals would often answer like they were texting me.
A quick way to check if you have power: how formal are your emails to ppl you work with? Ppl used to being on shaky ground or being challenged tend to stay formal, keep things professional, in written correspondence. Straight white male profs sometimes don’t even bother with capitals or full stops.
Often when I’m talking ppl through potential research impact, I ask who has power, or what power they themselves have. And almost always ppl want to complain they don’t have any power. But digging usually shows that means they don’t have total authority, and neglect things like influence, legitimacy

Gonna spending cut our way out of low growth, just like Keynes taught. Well he definitely mentioned the idea anyway, pretty sure his point was if you just show enough Calvinist virtue God rewards you with more money.

77 years since the Nakba began, Palestinians continue to resist erasure & displacement.

Today, after 15 months of genocide, a million returned to northern Gaza, defying those who tried to erase them. Their unbreakable spirit proves no force can extinguish the right of return. 🇵🇸

"Land you kill for is not yours. Land you die for is."
"I have one message. We the Palestinians are the rightful owners of this land, we will not budge. Our resolve will not be dented. We sacrificed 50,000 lives & 110,000 wounded... we sacrificed our homes, schools, hospitals, and entire infrastructure. But we will not budge"

This seems like the ideal kind of power to grant to civil servants just before Reform and/or the Badenoch-Jenrick Tories swoop in and seize the levers of power in a few years time. Masterclass.
Nothing to see here, just the Starmer Party (I refuse to call them Labour any longer), sliding further to the right.
