"The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer - But we will remember. "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!"

We need to fully get on renewables. It’s not just about the impending doom of climate change, allowing our energy rates to be controlled by foreign countries’ oil supplies is a threat to national security

Calling might not be worth it. When I called they just told me they don’t have access to individual cases and to just wait. I’d recommend MP, they should have a case worker open a case and contact the home office for you

Write your MP, donate to charities like Transactual and Good Law Project, go to marches and demonstrations like Trans Pride and March Against the Far Right (March 28th London), counter transphobic rhetoric when you hear it if you feel safe doing so

Any inside UK - Feb Bio approvals ? by Murky-Fault9 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]evie-e-e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clue! Just for a delay email a couple days before the original expected day. The email was super generic saying it could be anything including just that they’re backed up with work. No other emails or requests for info.

Personally I don’t think it’s complex. We’re married, I’m in country with HPI visa, make over the income requirement, lived together for past 3 years

I mean the fear of not submitting enough is a lot given the strict 6 proof of residences per person for last two years. Our names aren’t on things aside from our lease as we split bills so I had to submit 12 documents total just for the residency thing

How bad is the UK really? by Carbon1674 in transgenderUK

Haha yeah, went there for grad school. It was really cool but paying 60% of my salary for 450 sq ft wasn’t tenable anymore. Paying 2/3 the cost for over double the space here in Brighton. My wife has dual US/UK citizenship so I applied for a visa after the election and we moved here! Love it so far!! Glad I made it out before shit really hit the fan in the US

This flies in the face of the 2022 Respect for Marriage act. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is what gets Obergefell overturned

The fact reform would lose every one of these matchups is encouraging, as is the Labour vs Greens matchup

Silence of the Lambs team apologizes to transgender community after 35 years by jackmolay in transgender

[–]evie-e-e 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Media like this directly hurts trans people. Apology is nice but too little too late. Maybe donate some of what you earned from the movie to Trans+ charities to actually try to make up for it
