There it fucking is. The BBC just called the France riots “mostly peaceful”

The battle of narratives is going strong. Our countries are a recurring target. It is time to act to tell the stories that make us strong. Let’s live our own story! Protect what matters - our democracy.

I don’t blame immigrants specifically, although some would have been involved. No, I blame the hard right for introducing violence and destruction to an otherwise legitimate nationwide protest. Is Le Penn behind a Trumpian January 6th Capitol riot I ask myself?

I’d you’re shocked at the damage in France to an old town hall you’ll be horrified to hear what’s happened to the beautiful old buildings and heritage of the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans

It doesn’t make sense that protests over the education system would escalate into this level of violence. Someone may be benefiting from the chaos. It could be far-right groups infiltrating the protests, setting things on fire to fuel the “deport immigrants” narrative. Or it could be the government itself, using the violence as a pretext to crack down on the protests and avoid addressing the protesters’ demands. Either way, we should be asking who stands to gain from this escalation. I don’t know I’m just not buying people becoming this violent just to “have a better education.” 🤨

If Jean-Luc Mélenchon gets to the 2027 presidential run off, Le Pen will win by a landslide and that will be France, Europe and Ukraine fucked

Yes biologically they are women, but with a beard and working penis. I thought the argument was that trans women (without a penis) should be on a men's ward. I thought the possession of a penis was the perceived danger?

Does this mean that hospitals have to put trans men on female wards? Because that would make me very uncomfortable.

Rape cases are easy to prove. If the victim says she didn’t consent, that’s it-case closed. Perp’s *opinion* of a victim’s consent is irrelevant BECAUSE the victim alone owns her body & decides who touches her. Doesn’t matter what he thinks. Only matters what he does. #Cornell

John there is no scientific truth that JK is spewing. It IS biased bigotry. Here is how Scientific research views being a Trans Woman. transgender woman through biological, neurological, genetic, & psychological lenses, showing that gender identity is a complex interplay of internal neurobiology rather than solely determined by external anatomy at birth. Major medical and scientific organizations—including the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association—recognize transgender identities as a natural aspect of human diversity. Brain Anatomy and Neurobiology Brain structure: Neuroimaging studies show that the brain structure & functional patterns of transgender women often share features that align more closely with their gender identity rather than their assigned sex at birth. Machine learning analysis: Structural MRI studies, such as research published in PMC, have found that a transgender woman's estimated brain sex index shifts along a spectrum between cisgender men and women, leaning toward their lived gender identity. Genetics and Hormones Genetic variations: Research, including a study from the Hudson Institute of Medical Research, identified specific genetic variations related to how sex hormones like estrogen & androgen are processed in transgender women. Prenatal development: Scientific models suggest that prenatal hormone exposures & genetic factors interact during critical windows of development to influence the differentiation of the brain independently of external genitalia. Physical Performance & Sports Science Physiological shifts: Studies tracking athletes on gender-affirming hormone therapy (such as data discussed via PBS NewsHour) show that muscle mass, hemoglobin levels, & strength parameters decline over time, though the timeline varies depending on the specific metric (taking anywhere from months to several years to shift). Ongoing debate: The scientific community continues to study the nuanced balance between physiological retention of certain traits & athletic inclusion, with findings remaining a subject of active research across sports medicine bodies Psychological Well-Being and Transition Effectiveness of care: Scholarly reviews, such as comprehensive data analyzed by Cornell University, show that the vast majority of people who undergo gender transition experience dramatic improvements in overall mental health, self-esteem, and quality of life. Reduction of distress: Access to social, psychological, and medical support effectively alleviates gender dysphoria and lowers rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidality. IF you want to further Debate I welcome you to do so.

When our members stand with Palestine, they’re standing with their colleagues, for freedom, dignity, and self-determination. The values we fight for internationally. So let's keep organising, marching – together, until Palestine is free. From my speech on Saturday.

When Muslim fought against Nazis, as part of the British Indian Army, thousands of them sacrificing their lives - was that also incompatible with the British way of life? Lowe's language is comparable to rhetoric used by Nazis against Jews. As deplorable now, as it was then.

These “rights” activists really leave their humanity behind the minute they pick up their phones don’t they. When someone shows you who she is believe her the first time….
