This crusade against Tylenol truly is one of the purest intersections of misogyny and ableism.

Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but still designated as a "terror group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies for 160 years—and is still not labeled a terror group.🤔

On the same day it was revealed Elon Musk covered up for his father's sexual abuse of children, he goes on to spread the lie that trans people are sexual predators.

The degree to which you misrepresent the study you're reporting on is astonishing. This graph is from that study: 94.6-98.4% of all youth trans participants turned out to be trans at the end, not 80%. And SEGM, who you quote as an authority here, is an SPLC-recognized anti-trans hate group.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?

Again, in the hearings last week, Kash claimed this attack took a lot of money and so had to have outside funding. That's horseshit. Tyler Robinson allegedly drove his Dodge Challenger 4 hours to Orem, shot Kirk with grand dad's gun, then drove 4 hours home. He shot Kirk for ~$70.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.
