Akua Reindorf, a commissioner for the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, in the Times: Criticising a Supreme Court judgment is not a novel activity, and citizens should be involved in debate about law reform. But lawyers, politicians and journalists must be mindful that their voices carry weight. It is irresponsible to make ill-informed or lazy…

TW: rude words ahead. I've been on a *lot* of left wing demos in my time. We wanted to *smash* the BNP, to *kick out* the Tories, to *fight* Alton's bill, to *stop* various wars, and Clause 27, then Section 28, then the Poll Tax, and we marched *in solidarity* with miners,… — Jon Pike…

And Jo Bartosch: Rejoice! For the They / Thems have risen. After being legally crucified by the Supreme Court last Wednesday, the trans faithful marched from Parliament Square in London yesterday in a display of devotion and defiance. It was a tantrum disguised as a protest over the court’s heresy – that the word ‘woman’…

Andrew Sullivan (via Jerry Coyne): In some ways, the core character of the Trump administration can be seen in two Oval Office press conferences with two young, informally-dressed foreign leaders. The first was with Volodymyr Zelensky, president of a country invaded and now partly occupied by Russia, who has courageously kept his country free from…

UCU leader Jo Grady continues to embarrass herself: Hate will never win. With just 24 hours notice tens of thousands spilled onto the streets of London today to show solidarity with the trans community. I was proud to be there and proud to see so many UCU members there too. pic.twitter.com/FKfnkbDjnD — Jo Grady (@DrJoGrady)…
