Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Because guess what: the guidance covers ALL Religions, not just Islam.

You wouldn't know that from the headlines, would you!

The articles focus exclusively on the Muslim children until the final paragraph, where they say, "Oh yeah, other religions also have accommodations made"

Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Hundreds of GPs tell BBC they have never refused a fit note for mental health concerns The number of fit notes issued has been rising, with more than 11.2m approved in England last year.

This story is such a bad example of journalists *creating* news. They sent out a survey to 5,000 GPs. 752 replied. 540 said they’d never refused to give a fit note to someone who said they had mental health issues. 162 said they had refused, which is over a fifth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Starmer, Mandelson, Lammy, Mahmood, Badenoch, Farage, Joani Reed, Miliband and Reeves, to name just a few, have done things in the past week far more deserving of attention than a stupid Sun story from almost 15 years ago.

Is the New York Times manufacturing consent for war in the Middle East? Is the mainstream media as a whole?

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

If you've watched how NHS England - stuffed, as Kemi Badenoch explicitly told us, with her handpicked transphobes - does trans* healthcare you can't be surprised by this from @erininthemorning.com.

But still, it's an important service to see her lay it all out.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.
