I cannot believe I can finally call my beautiful partner, my husband. We're MARRIED at last - after 23 years together. Such a beautiful, moving day. #MarriageEquality #LoveWins

Investment in CSIRO has been declining in real terms for decades. The result is shocking - recent cuts mean there have been more job losses under the Albanese govt than under Abbott, and key capabilities like climate modelling are being reduced. Funding in MYEFO was welcome, but temporary. The upcoming budget is the real test. It must deliver long-term investment to rebuild national science capability. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environme…

"Path to real change" The Supreme Administrative Court of Poland ordered the civil registry to recognize a marriage performed in Germany, following a ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union requiring member states to acknowledge such unions under EU law, despite same-sex marriage remaining illegal in Poland #NOH8

I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: Gender-affirming care is healthcare, period. It is evidence-based, backed by the American Medical Association, and helps trans individuals live their lives with the dignity we all deserve. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

The Australien Government has made an ad about Alcoa strip-mining the Northern Jarrah Forest and it's surprsingly honest and informative. #auspol #alcoa

Looking for some good news??? NSW JUST BANNED NEW COAL MINES!!! My piece w Ebony Bennett on The Point: thepoint.com.au/news/260321-ns…

1,700 trans people in Kansas are now facing two options: stay in your homes and risk arrest, fines, and jail, or flee the state and leave your home and family. They have done nothing illegal. They have no criminal charges. With only a few days’ warning, the State of Kansas has invalidated the licenses of trans people and required them to apply for new licenses with their gender identity assigned at birth. The new law gives them no grace period, no compensation, no transportation to work, to pick up their kids, or get to their medical appointments, or even to the grocery store. But the new law does include specific higher punishments for trans folks driving with their suddenly invalid licenses. The new law’s only purpose is to target and persecute trans folks. Across the country, from the highest office to the lowest levels of local government, we have elected officials who are bent on cruelty towards the trans community. Instead of addressing healthcare, affordability, gun violence, or corruption, they focus on persecuting the tiny number of trans people seeking to live free from persecution. Here’s my promise: when I’m elected to represent Minnesota’s Second Congressional District, I’ll fight to make sure what happened in Kansas doesn’t happen again, anywhere. I won’t let cruelty go unchallenged.

Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could solve the gas crisis – and raise $17 billion every year at the same time! Australians are tired of the gas industry not paying its fair share of taxes and royalties. #auspol

Gaza has been completely forgotten. More than 1.5 million people are living in tents, denied the most basic necessities, and forced to endure conditions no human being should ever face. This is not over. Don't look away.

You can do almost anything while wearing a respirator. You can still live your life and have fun while protecting yourself and others. Wearing a mask some of the time is better than none of the time.

Qld police raid charity under Premier David Crisafulli's speech criminalisation laws. Dorothy Day House in Greenslopes provides food & housing to homeless & refugees. Resident Franz Dowling's digital devices & the sign were seized. No charges laid. #qldpol abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…

1,000 people. Israel killing 1,000 people is barely news it’s so normalized now.

Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.

Not a trans woman or a drag queen. The dirtiest race in Olympic history was the women’s 1500m final in the 2012 London Olympics, with six of the first nine finishers falling foul of anti-doping regulations. bbc.com/sport/athletic… By 2022, when it concluded its 10-year reanalysis programme from the 2012 London Games, the International Testing Agency had withdrawn 31 London medals from athletes from 11 different countries. In one men’s weightlifting event, six of the top seven finishers, including all three medallists, would be disqualified and banned for doping offences. Bronze was eventually awarded to the athlete who had originally come ninth. In order to get medals, you need help. And that help is not being trans or intersex. It's doping. Anti-doping is all a shot in the dark because athletes are incentivised to do it as quietly and discreetly as possible. A 2014, German documentary featured astonishing revelations from two Russian whistleblowers, 800m runner Yulia Stepanova and her husband, Vitaly Stepanov, a former official at Russia’s drug testing agency Rusada. Up to 99% of the Russian Olympic team used banned substances. If the @iocmedia officials were truly concerned about fairness, they would quit policing a handful of women with high T & and trans women and instead rigorously investigate athletes suspected of taking drugs that indisputably enhance performance. The real threat to fair competition in the female category is not trans or intersex women the real threat are XX female drug cheats. Since the IOC has created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 83,900 people have become Olympians. Out of those 83,900 Olympians a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42. There isn’t a single trans or intersex woman dominating her sport. Even Caster Semenya, the most famous, & most successful, intersex woman athlete doesn’t “dominate” her sport. Caster has won a total of two Olympic golds medals & holds no world records.  By contrast, Katie Ledecky has won a total of 9 Olympic gold medals and has broken 19 world records since 2013. Why is Katie Ledecky treated like a marvel, and Caster Semenya and transgender women are treated like mutants? There currently exists no evidence to suggest that XY DSD female athletes competing naturally, or trans women who elect to suppress testosterone (through, for example, gender affirming hormone therapy and/or surgical gonad removal) maintain disproportionate advantages over c1s women. More specifically, current evidence suggests any physical performance advantages  trans women do not fall outside the range observed among XX women after 1-2 years of testosterone suppression. transresearch.org.au/post/trans-wom… youtu.be/2-ohQiLWWwA?si…

British RT journalist Steve Sweeney apparently disagrees with the @BBCNews assessment that a missile chose to “land next to him” in Lebanon on its own 🤔 — calling it a “deliberate strike” from Israel “Attacking journalists is a war crime”

California is proof you don’t have to choose between a strong economy and clean energy. The world’s 4th largest economy has run on clean power 9 out of 10 days, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions 21% and growing 81%.

Federal court sides with 22 states, ruling the Trump administration overstepped and cannot pressure providers to stop gender-affirming care. advocate.com/politics/natio…
