Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy: “I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

i don’t recall a single trans athlete participating in recent games, but i do recall steven van de velde being allowed to compete in the 2024 paris games a few years back AFTER being convicted of raping a 12 year old girl in 2016

in the entire history of the olympics (more than 10,000 athletes each summer games and 3,000 each winter) since 1896, this would have applied to one (1) woman who did not place in anything

No - the UK has not legalised “abortion up to birth". We will not let misinformation go unchallenged. An important mythbuster from us 🧵👇

Ms. Rachel is fighting to close an ICE facility in Texas that's detaining children. She wants to "make sure that kids and their parents are back in their communities where they belong." "I am political. It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border," she told NBC News. Ms. Rachel recently had a video call with nine-year-old Deiver Henao Jimenez, who is detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas. The boy told her he "wants to leave and go to the spelling bee." "It was unbelievably surreal to see this sweet little face and feel like I was on a call with somebody who’s in jail. It broke me, and it was something I never thought I’d encounter in life," she told the news outlet. "We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee. I just never thought those words would go together." variety.com/2026/tv/news/m…

Photographer and adult industry journalist here: that guy is the default stock photo model for “porn addiction.” I once tried to track him down to interview him. His photos are constantly used by religious pro-censorship groups and right wing outlets like the Post:

🇨🇾 Hundreds of people in Cyprus joined to protest the presence of the British Bases in Cyprus today. 📍 Molos Amphitheater, Limassol

Well, if there ever was a time to demand that the British army leave Cyprus, it would be now — it is an antiquated remnant of colonialism, which now puts all people living in Cyprus at risk. But other than that, there are a few more things to consider, which I outline below.
