Look at these 2 surveys from 2020 & 2025. We have a LOT of women to thank. LW, RW, & all inbetween, pen-wielding academics & megaphone-wielding podcasters, anonymous & high profile, feminists & 'trad-wives,' rich & poor. They've opened eyes, exposed TRA lies & defended truth.

@MaeveHalligan Just finished it. Superb Maeve. I will be sharing far and wide.

"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead." I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:

Watch this. Stirring stuff.

@MaeveHalligan I just watched the last minute or so and it was BRILLIANT. A star in the making. Will watch the whole thing now. Superb writing and delivery.

@dog_rates The Zack Polanski/Rachel Reeves approach to CVs in Golden Retriever form....

This is Jam. He said he was the highest jumping golden retriever in Ontario. May or may not have lied on his resume. Still 13/10

A very useful screenshot to keep about your person.

@brickset Is there an official way to write and submit an article about a project that you've created?

Well articulated. I agree with every word of it. 45ish years ago, a few Labour MPs split from the main party and formed the SDP. For all those disaffected Labour voters and members who are wondering where people who care about jobs and homes and decent lives for decent working people: the SDP are still there. I joined a year ago and I'm delighted. We're growing fast, and we need your help. Whether you want to join and help us grow even faster of just sign up to get some updates - have a look: sdp.org.uk Labour are not Labour anymore. But there is a party for you. See you there.

c.org/qZcj547h7F I find it utterly baffling, that every senior decision maker involved in Eurovision and the BBC, seems eager to normalise strangulation as a sex act. 'Queer theory' at work again, slowly poisoning the mind and eroding safe-guarding boundaries.

@RosieDuffield1 @mar2vickers His appearance on LBC made it pretty clear, no?

@mar2vickers Nor will I, ever. But happy to find out!

All eyes on Burnham today. And the hope of so many of us who want the real Labour Party back.

@WomenReadWomen You feel like quoting it and tagging in Jones, Maugham, Whittome, Sultana, Sobel, Viner, Nandy, Lammy etc, but I fear it would be invisible to them. Like Westworld's Bernard, unable to see that which he has been programmed/conditioned to not see.

This is a 30 year-old man. Puberty blockers are a form of chemical castration. Chemical castration and gender identity ideology were pioneered by pro-pedophile sexologists.

A lot of subscribers have asked what I made of the Nick Kristof oped. So much has already been said. What more is there to say? My first thought was everyone else's. Horrifying. Testimonies of pain and torture. We know that the Israeli Prisons Service is notoriously incompetent. There have been cases of Hamas prisoners abusing each other, and even famous cases of them abusing female Israeli guards. We know, too, that all prison systems struggle with the problem: New York prisons face 2,000 claims against them. So abuse of prisoners isn't merely possible, it's guaranteed. October 7 and the ensuing war sent thousands of detainees into the prisons. And in the early months, drafted into the system undertrained reservist guards. Guards who had seen Hamas's videos gleefully documenting their crimes. I expected, therefore, a hard-hitting story of real abuse, something Israeli leaders must take notice of. And then I came across the first obvious lie. And then the second. And then an odd claim -- maybe possible, but how exactly? -- and then another just like it. And a famed Hamas propagandist laundered as a reliable source. And then another. Why, if there is no doubt that abuse occurred -- and there is no doubt -- was there so much obvious propaganda in Kristof's oped? I won't pretend the lies weren't a relief. They were. It's agony to read about Israeli criminality, and the lies let me cast doubt on the whole narrative. There's an obvious propaganda campaign at work here. But as claim followed claim, it became hard not to wonder: Despite the propaganda, what part is nevertheless true? How bad has it gotten? So here's what we know, or at least what I think I know. This is a campaign that seeks our destruction. Kristof quotes people who celebrated October 7 and want Israel destroyed, and will lie to achieve that goal. We know how the lies in this story made their way into it, where they came from and what purpose they serve. Even so, I'm not willing to conclude there's no truth at all in there, just because there are lies. Dogs did not rape anyone. The people who invented that particular inanity claimed it without evidence, knowing that no one, certainly not self-appointed moral arbiters like Nick Kristof, would ever bother checking the provenance of the claim. Because they never, ever do. Because why would they? So the claim spreads through the millions-strong activist network without investigation, exciting and mobilizing -- not because anyone understands how it might be possible but for the sheer thrill of it. And it's cited by Kristof as a reliable report. A recent report by a Norwegian NGO, also referenced, claimed "systemic sexual violence" in the West Bank by citing just 16 cases across three years in a geographic region containing as many as three million Palestinians and over half a million Israelis. And some of the examples scarcely cleared the bar for harassment. But the NGO in question knew for a fact that no journalist would look too deeply into any of it. And indeed, no journalist did. Because they never, ever do. Because why would they? Friends, a paper trail is being created. Just like they created a paper trail on mass starvation in Gaza -- mass starvation first claimed in early 2024, and then claimed again and again by NGOs, the UN, everybody. Some were nuanced warnings of a "possibility," some declared it had arrived. The headlines from both were largely the same. And then, in thundering silence, the mass starvation claim just faded away, never having materialized -- while billions of ordinary people around the world who don't follow too closely remain convinced that countless Gazans died of starvation. So they moved on. A Lancet letter claiming hundreds of thousands of deaths spread like wildfire, mostly because (a) nobody actually read or understood what it claimed and (b) nobody cared enough to check if it was remotely plausible. Then, just in case anyone forgot Lancet, came the claim by UN rapporteurs of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children -- 380,000 infants under five allegedly died, more than the entire population of infants in Gaza. Stupid, right? But it was repeated again and again by activists and protestors. No one checks, no costs are exacted for the never-ending barrage of fakery. Because why would they? A wild religious frenzy has taken hold. Hatred of Israel is now definitional to the left, and to parts of the right. Greta Thunberg has forgotten all about climate change. An enemy of humanity has been identified just in time to unleash all the pent-up religious rage that this troubled secular age won't allow against anyone else. And by complete and utter coincidence, that enemy you're suddenly allowed to hate is vaguely associated with the Jews. Yes, alas, it really is that simple. But also, dear friends -- bear with me -- it isn't. All the above is true. They're fucking liars and bigots. They marched in their millions, again and again and again, for weeks and months and years -- marches completely unprecedented in their size, regularity and duration in all the history of the West, in all the history of war, larger by orders of magnitude than all other marches for all other conflicts and wars and suffering combined, even those caused by their own governments. And no serious person pretends that anything similar could ever have coalesced or will ever coalesce again unless Israel is involved. "But we fund you," shouts the American activist to explain this mind-numbing selectivity. Then why did one-third of the city of Amsterdam march? Or millions of Spaniards, Brazilians and Indonesians? It was unprecedented and it was everywhere. And Kristof has joined the new religion. Not by being concerned about abuse, but by not caring one whit whether he's trafficking in truths or lies. Only the Jews will ask to distinguish between the two. He just needs to throw it all on the page, and his membership in the glorious crusade is assured. Alas, the Jews are correct about the nature of this moment. Some things are so big and fundamental, so assumed and widespread, that they become hard to see. Fish don't notice the water. Activists who can only ever march against Jews are convinced they are merely righteous people enraged by war, without ever pausing to wonder why the only war that ever enraged them or ever made its way to their phones was one particular war, and not larger and deadlier wars also conducted with Western weapons and money. And so the Jew is made fearful once more. Throughout Christendom and Islam, he is being returned to his proper place in the social hierarchies of old, complete with anxious conversos and ideological purity tests. And yet, still, despite it all, their lies aren't the end of the story. Their lies are a separate story. A campaign of lies that constitutes a return to the mean for the Jewish condition in the West. A campaign meant to justify brutality against us, not to end war or suffering. And despite all of it, dear Jews, there really is abuse. It's nowhere near as much as the psychotic claims of these fantasists. Not by orders of magnitude. If it was, they wouldn't need to lie so much. But it's there nonetheless. Many dozens of cases at least, probably in the low hundreds by now, most of them without any sexual aspect, but still wanton violence. Exact numbers are hard to come by, but the army gave a few estimates to the courts a couple of times over the past three years. There have been many indictments filed against soldiers, serious ones. I know something about a handful of those cases. I know that the problem is real. It's there, it's real, and it doesn't seem to be stopping. And if it isn't stopped with an iron will and uncompromising hand, it will continue to fester and grow. And it must be said: neither Ben Gvir nor Netanyahu are interested in fixing it. Nobody at the top cares about the rights of prisoners. Let me be clear: For the first time in my life, I support a death penalty. No one who crossed over the border to massacre and kidnap on October 7 should be left alive; they came to kidnap children precisely because they sought the release of mass murderers kept alive in our prisons. Hamas, as always, in its totalizing brutality, forces the choice: If their murderers live, our children may die. I choose our children. And those who came for our children cannot be deterred, reformed or deradicalized. They murder their own to clear a path to murdering ours. And so I believe they must die. We must try, convict and destroy them. And even I, radicalized in this narrow, specific way, say we cannot collapse into torture or abuse. That's not justice. It isn't even vengeance. It is participation in Hamas's way of war. Nor do our leaders seem to care about the simple breakdown of discipline that these abuses represent, the kind of breakdown we saw again and again with the incidents of looting in Gaza and in the early cases of prisoner abuse that came to light. No, dogs aren't being trained to systematically rape prisoners, you nattering halfwits. And no, Hamas propaganda operatives are not reliable sources on the question of Israeli crimes. The vast, vast majority of soldiers are honorable men who walked into fire so our families may live. The whole world may turn on them; I will stand with them, grateful for their sacrifice. And Kristof, a willing purveyor of propaganda happily feigning that he can't see the water and thrilling to a moral crusade engineered by would-be genocidaires he pretends not to understand -- is no messenger of moral reckoning. But friends, so fucking what. Let the narcissistic guttersnipes strut their moral emotions before the world, let the UN publish endless reports that don't hold up to basic scrutiny, let the NGOs dream their rabid, sick dreams that no journalist ever fact-checks -- yes, they're lying. But so fucking what. We still, for ourselves -- because fuck them -- must see that it isn't all fake. The problem is real. It's far smaller than they claim, but real nonetheless. And when discipline and morality break down, it can only get worse. We either crack down now or we watch it fester and grow. And our own Ben Gvirs are stubbornly refusing to fix what is actually broken, the real thing in the real world. And so we are caught in a strange sort of vise, the same vise we find ourselves in with the genocide lie: A vast propaganda machine that seeks to destroy us -- countless activists too high on their own self-regard to see the irony of raging against a "genocide" while calling for the erasure of a people -- all while our own incompetent, venal, self-absorbed political class insist in their mindless chatter on confirming every claim of our enemies for sheer, bald egomania. I'm sick of it all. I know you're all sick of it too. And that, in a nutshell, is what I think about this. Just because they're lying, just because a vast perfidious campaign has overwhelmed global elites in a bid to clear the way for our removal, just because they're still, after two millennia, building their visions of redemption on The Evil Jew -- doesn't mean there isn't also, separately, a problem on the ground. So what do we do now? Simple. We see it, we acknowledge it's happening, we bring our rage to our inept leaders until they bend to our will and act to stop the breakdown... And we soldier on. We soldier on because the enemy really is coming to murder us. Because Hamas must still go if Gaza is ever to rise to a new day. Because Hezbollah will yet destroy Lebanon on the altar of destroying us. Because the ayatollahs built their whole damn religion on the extermination of our children. We fix the broken things within us as if the pogromists and their simpering Kristofs don't exist. We owe no answers to the propagandists who seek to clear a path to our deaths. But we do owe answers to ourselves. Let the screaming mob rage and churn like so much sea-foam. Despite that raging mob, despite the enemy who still seeks our destruction, and yes, despite feckless incompetents like Ben Gvir, our minister of prisons, who claim to lead us -- we remain the strongest, freest Jews who ever lived, more capable and committed than our self-destructive enemies ever imagined. And the task is still before us, yet to be completed, the sacred duty given to our generation to ensure our children don't have to face the genocidaires who now surround us. We do not waver, we do not stumble. We soldier on. Because fuck them all.

Harriet Harman, Starmer’s new adviser on women and girls, said last year that men can be women and that “there’s all sorts of women, including biological women and trans women.” How can someone who cannot even define what a woman is properly advise on women and girls issues?

Explain to me how mass immigration is a 'left wing' concept. I can't fathom how people swallowed this idea wholesale. - Endless supply of cheap labour helps capitalists, not workers - Strip mining of talent from developing countries is a form of neocolonialism - Endless pressure on the housing market inflates assets and prevents the poorest from having reasonably priced homes - A refusal to train enough people here removes vocation paths that the working class used to follow - The most negative social and cultural second order consequences are happening to working class, deindustrialised or neglected areas So it's left wing how? I can see how anti-immigrant sentiment can be seen as ethnonationalism and therefore right wing. But I can't see how support for mass immigration is left wing. And to be clear: it's not just a part of left wing thought. It's now so central to left wing thought, apparently, that any divergence from this immediately makes you 'far right'.

@hawkstone444 @JChimirie66677 @simianenigma Far left? Starmer? He is a Blairite in all but name. 'Left wing' where it doesn't matter (identity politics and grievance studies) but barely left of centre economically, AND in thrall to religious despots and billionaire sociopaths that should be anathema to a left-winger.

@JChimirie66677 @simianenigma ‘The enemy within’ is how Thatcher described the Labour far left. Delusional and desperate to hold on to power no matter what the electorate thought. Starmer is all of that, far left, delusional, desperate and dangerous. Watch out - see what happens to his critics. Putinesque

Fifteen Percent. Fifteen Hundred Seats. A Ten Year Plan. One Word Covers It. Delusion. Keir Starmer's response to the worst local election result in Labour history is to announce that he intends to govern for a decade. Let that land for a moment. Fifteen percent of the national vote. Fifteen hundred councillors lost. Wales gone to Plaid Cymru for the first time since devolution. Sunderland fallen after fifty years. Gateshead, Blackburn, Tameside. Josh Simons, the former director of Labour Together, the organisation that put Starmer in Downing Street, writing in the Sunday Times that he has lost the country. Forty of his own MPs calling for his resignation. The general secretary of Unite demanding a timetable for his departure. And Starmer's answer to all of it is that he plans to be in Downing Street until 2034. One word covers it. Delusion. A man who has lost the country does not get to decide he will govern it for another decade. Starmer's interview in the Observer contains something even more revealing than the ten year claim. After the most emphatic rejection of Labour's agenda in modern electoral history, driven in significant part by public fury over immigration and the loss of border control, Starmer's bold response is to announce a new youth mobility scheme with the European Union that will allow tens of thousands of young Europeans to come to Britain annually. He describes this as being full-throated and bold. The voters who handed Reform those fifty year Labour strongholds on Thursday will have a different description. Moreover, the Catherine West stalking horse challenge raises a question that deserves to be asked plainly. Is this orchestrated? Under Labour's rules a leadership challenge can only be triggered once per year before conference. If West fails to reach the 81 nomination threshold the challenge collapses and Starmer gains a year of protection. If she reaches 81 and triggers a full membership ballot, Starmer goes on the ballot paper automatically and Labour's membership, which historically skews left, decides. The serious candidates, Burnham, Rayner, Streeting, have all scrambled to distance themselves from West's move. They may have calculated that a failed stalking horse challenge now locks Starmer in and removes the pressure for an orderly transition. The beneficiary of a botched challenge is Starmer himself. Meanwhile the Mandelson files have not yet been fully released. Parliament returns after the King's Speech. Ian Collard's written evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee is still outstanding. The privileges committee referral remains in play. Whatever Cat Little would not discuss in open committee is still sitting in that vetting file. Starmer's ten year project depends on none of that reaching critical mass. It is a considerable bet. Starmer's attack on Nigel Farage's funding is the most transparent deflection in the interview. A Prime Minister facing forty resignation demands from his own MPs, a stalking horse leadership challenge, historic local election losses and unresolved national security questions about his most controversial appointment reaches for a story about cryptocurrency donations to his political opponent. The country is not fooled and neither is the press. Josh Simons, until this weekend one of Starmer's most loyal allies, wrote that Starmer has lost the country and cannot rise to this moment. That is not a verdict from an enemy. It is a verdict from someone who built the machine that put him in Downing Street. A Prime Minister who responds to that verdict by announcing a ten year project has not heard it. A Prime Minister who responds to the worst immigration driven electoral revolt in Labour history by announcing new immigration routes from Europe has not heard it. A Prime Minister who calls a stalking horse challenge a distraction has not heard it. The country spoke on Thursday. This man cannot hear it. And that, more than anything else, is why he has to go.

@AmericnDreaming That could build to a legal backlash that would hang around the neck of progressivism for decades... When they first started shouting "transwomen are women - no debate" I think it was telling that the Right barely said a word. Don't interrupt your enemy when... etc

@AmericnDreaming ...that could also appear completely insane to rational moderates. That could undermine the rights of Women, Lesbian & Gays & make money for big pharma. That gifted credibility to the Right. That makes it impossible for parents of 'trans' children to face what they've done... 2/3

Why Leftists Are So Uniquely Annoying Cathartic but also explanatory americandreaming.substack.com/p/why-leftists…

@AmericnDreaming @jbvconnor @JoinPersuasion Gender ideology is inherently radical and in a particularly awful way. You are still in thrall to it as you lump in the T when saying you support LGB(T) rights. The T is INHERENTLY hostile to LGB rights as it simply denies the reality of SAME SEX attraction. Good article though.

@jbvconnor @JoinPersuasion This piece is exploring how and why trans activism became radical, not what caused the backlash. I have explored the latter in other writing such as this: americandreaming.substack.com/p/memory-hole-…

New from me in @JoinPersuasion Most of the postmortems of trans activism focus on the approaches and policies that caused such fierce backlash, but very few examine how and why the trans movement became so radical to begin with: persuasion.community/p/how-trans-ac…
