Oh I don't know I'm all over the place, "I'm like a dog chasing a car, I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one". I just know the more powerful must create safe space and let the less powerful be free & safe and have their say.
So in the UK it's nearly local elections time, therefore I'm sharing this timely reminder from my American friends.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

This petition calling on the Government NOT to make cruel cuts to benefits that will force more people into poverty now has almost 65,000 signatures.

Let’s make it 100,000 this weekend. It only takes a moment to sign🙏

NO cruel cuts to benefits
The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

Hi all

I was talking to Johnny Marr the other day and we were saying how nothing is ‘cool’ anymore.
Has anyone else noticed that? It used to be…

“That guy looks cool” Now it’s “That guy’s hot”

So whatever happened to cool?

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*
Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform
Exclusive: Pressure group set up by MPs from seats where Reform came second amid concern about party’s rise

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship.

So every other option is an echo chamber for libs except this solitary platform. And we won't even get into championing free speech.

Apparently Trump and his acolytes are erasing data from the Centre for Disease Control.

CDC Data Are Disappearing
The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.
