Adding to this 6 weeks later.

Quakers aren't allowing anti-trans orgs to hire their venues, refused permission to anti-trans entryists who tried to start a "GC Quakers" group, no longer stocking a book by a Quaker author because they are anti-trans on social media and they're actively blocking anti-trans people from their social media sites.

More #political #hypocrisy:

So, the #WorldBank has been happily supporting #fossilfuel business via trade financing even as it claims it is pushing for a #greentransition.

Somehow, the #energy firms keep getting their fingers into the pot of state (and global) economic support... its almost like they had good connections & were effective lobbyists.

Anyone who thinks shifting to alternate #energy sources will be easy might want to look back to #tobacco for the fossil fuel playbook!

It's hilarious that some folks think a secret group of rich people control everything instead of the widely known group of rich people that control everything.

The ugliness of UK political decision making https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/09/08/the-ugliness-of-uk-political-decision-making/. Ministers are proposing cuts to the benefits of a million vulnerable people currently considered unable to work. They want to force them into work. This week I have shown how to raise more than £35 billion of additional tax in the UK, all from wealthier people. There is more to come. So we don't need to penalise people unable to work, at all. That is being done by choice. This is the ugly side of UK political decision-making.

• Spending £10bn on making schools not terrifying death traps: nah.
• Spending £22bn on restoring the Palace of Westminster: sure!

They’ve lost the plot.
Send them a signal they’ll never forget.

And Laura Ann Carleton doesn’t get to be friends with anybody anymore, or attend church functions or backyard barbecues, because she was murdered.

She was murdered over *political views.*

Just some things I noticed.

And this is why child rights are human rights.

"Call me old-fashioned, but if I were a parent, I'd quite like to know whether my son, Sam, was showing up at school as Samantha."

"If you don't already know, there's a reason she's not telling you.
It's you. You're the problem."

People in the UK may be left in the wilderness without secure messaging services, if the #OnlineSafetyBill retains its encryption busting clause.

Forcing platforms to comply with client-side scanning is state-mandated private surveillance of the kind that we see in authoritarian regimes. Platforms will leave rather than compromise #security and #privacy.

It'll particularly harm journalists, campaigners and activists who rely on #e2ee to communicate safely. #ukpolitics
