Zooey and I just gave a speech to hundreds of Japanese activists and stakeholders on transgender rights in the United States and globally. The attack on trans people is international and not kept confined to borders. It’s so important that we build solidarity internationally as well.

In a major win for trans people in the country, liberals win in Canada. There was serious concern that a Pierre Polievre victory would have resulted in the same dramatic crackdowns on trans people there that we have seen in the US. Trans people in Canada can rest easily now.

People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

I think people need to get rid of the idea of a “return to normal” whatever that even means. The political and economic situation of the world with climate change getting worse is not going to be less chaotic

No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. Everyone who is accused of violating the law is entitled to due process. It is un-American and unconstitutional to believe in one and not the other.

It's being reported that Labour ministers are ruling out scrapping the two-child benefit. Scrapping this cruel policy would lift 350,000 children out of poverty overnight. Instead, Keir Starmer's Government are CHOOSING to keep children in poverty rather than taxing the super-rich fairly.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The more people say “a woman’s worth is in marrying young and having children” the more I’m grateful for the example of Jane Austen, who turned down a proposal of marriage so she could keep writing and whose six novels are an enduring testament to all a woman is capable of doing.
