Good Morning New Yorkers! 😀

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social built a movement from scratch, focusing on improving people's lives, on inequality and empowering communities.

Against a smear campaign from most sinister and powerful people in America he came out on top.

Our time is now!🩷✊

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

We will never descend into the gutter of blaming minorities for the problems in our society.

It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful — and win.

If you are in any way unsure about possible reasons why girls feel unsafe in school, have a listen to Full Disclosure - James O’Brian interviewing Laura Bates from the Everyday Sexism project. Powerful stuff.

Just listened to @mrjamesob.bsky.social full disclosure, with Laura Bates.
I knew things were bad, but I didn't realise quite how bad.
The situation is as depressing as it is shocking. It's a fairly grim 60 minutes, but I urge you to make the time.
Also, think of ways you can make a difference.

How can the BBC show and analyze the footage of the appalling incident in Liverpool without it being prejudicial in any future court case?

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

Several sources who were present have confirmed around 400k people were on the streets of London today in solidarity with Palestine. Can only find it reported by Yahoo News who say ‘tens of thousands’ of protestors.

Care home Commercial Director Amy Clark,

"We try to recruit locally as much as we can, we always advertise locally, but we very rarely get applicants"

"And if we do get applicants, they don't turn up for interviews"

"It causes us significant problems"

Being trans should be boring.

Medication once a week.

Live a quiet (or loud) life.

Have friends, pets, a family. Go to work, the gym, the library.

Do all the little things that make up a life.

Cis or trans, it shouldn't be a big deal. There's no reason for it to be.

Read the report for more and also explanations of what vaccines are and how they work and why vaccine uptake is going down in some countries.

Do read and share with others - particularly parents of young children who might have questions about vax.
