🚨🚨"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else." Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

1/11 Trump was never the main threat—just the opening act and Trojan horse.
The technofascist oligarchs who backed him are already planning what comes next—and it’s darker, more authoritarian, more organized, and far more dangerous!

Looks like we're facing a head-on collision with EU law in respect of Wes Streeting's ideological opposition to the legitimacy of trans existence. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-tra...
The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights @ukgovernment.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social have got this seriously, seriously wrong. Shame on you, Starmer, Cooper, Streeting et al.
At times today I have literally struggled to breath. Felt like a criminal at times. Numb, upset, fear. Like being in a dystopian tv drama. Shouldn’t be like this. We haven’t done anything. Worst of all, it’s so obvious to anyone who looks that all of this is built on lies and demonisation.

The next chapter of Starmerism will play out like this, the left will be called Reform enablers just as we were called Tory enablers during the run up to the GE 2024.
