The government’s been trying to introduce forced medical treatment in exchange for continued access to benefits for years. Which, well. Almost every disabled person I know has a horror story about doctors imposing damaging treatments already. It would make that So Much Worse.

Right then. I think we've reached a watershed point in the waging of culture wars, and Conservatives ought to see it, and act on it. I wrote this today: What kind of person would drag autistic children into the culture wars? The Kemi Badenoch kind

The humanities are where you learn to:
- survey the available literature
- assess the reliability of primary sources
- evaluate the relative quality of evidence and arguments
- synthesize an overarching narrative that best characterizes the current state of understanding

They report data on 185 countries but *104* of those numbers (more than half!) are based on *zero* data collected from people from that country. ZERO.
Rather than acknowledge this lack of data, they decided to guessimate based on surrounding countries.

Tommy, are you saying you're upset because you sought sanctuary in a different country but some right wing ghouls tried to flush you out? If so, I have further questions.

Understanding intersectionality is vital in the fight against fascism
Black & brown women still face
Sexism
Transphobia
Homophobia
Ableism
Ageism
They’re represented in EVERY minority community NOT JUST RACE
This understanding can be lacking in even the best of allies 🧵👇🏾
