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.

Good night 😴 War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself. Benjamin Franklin

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

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.

"They want obedient workers. 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.

What happens when the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes like everyone else? We can invest in a stronger, fairer America — where every kid has a quality education and families aren’t bankrupted by one medical diagnosis.

"This is our chance to send the Government a clear message that we deserve better." Young Greens lay out just some of the reasons you should vote Green on 1 May.

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.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

"Most people acknowledge that Brexit has failed. Now we find it is killing us..." @carladenyer.bsky.social reacts to to revelations that British cancer patients are being denied life-saving drugs and trials of revolutionary treatments due to red tape and extra costs brought on by Brexit.

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 top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

"And just like that, the age of American empire, the great Pax Americana, ended." @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

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.

Reform has been caught up in another racism scandal with one of its council candidates in North West Leicestershire. Elliott Allman’s old Facebook posts came back to haunt him, then someone leaked a group chat where he was asked “do you have any black friends you can be photographed with?”.

Keir Starmer was elected Prime Minister on the promise of delivering positive change. How's that going...?

💚 Vote Green on 1 May for real hope and real change.
