MPs publicly call out and criticise JK Rowling in Parliament. I think this might be a first? That is now in the Hansard record for all time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwBm...

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Julian Assange was released one year ago today. Here's what he said: "All judges whether... finding in my favour or not, in the UK, showed extraordinary deference to the US, engaged in astonishing intellectual backflips to allow the US to have its way on my extradition".

Mamdani’s platform on transgender rights is stellar. I’m pleased to see him ahead in the polls today. A victory would be profoundly meaningful for where progressives move from here, in a time where monied interests are trying to urge a rightward movement in the Democratic Party.

Did trans people in Russia go too far?! Or is state mandated elimination of trans healthcare a unifying theme in illiberal authoritarian countries? It's the latter.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Hello! It is my birthday so I am allowed to unapologetically say buy my books! I have 3 series, one finished, two ongoing, all 100% human written, edited, and cover designed, because I actually like writing books and I hate "AI" with the passion of a 1000 burning suns. michellemanus.com/my-books/

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

since it’s pride and I just got a bunch of new followers let’s keep the rent low by firing some shots in the air - if someone wants to transition at any age for any reason that’s their business 👍🏳️‍⚧️

Every media report of a JK Rowling proxy threatening to sue a body that won't engage in performative cruelty to trans people should include this heading from the Supreme Court decision. But, because the outlets are clueless or bigoted, they never do.

Seemingly lost in all of the NYT coverage is that what the Supreme Court did was effectively lower the evidentiary bar that state's have to meet to justify their bans. The lower courts that applied heightened scrutiny universally blocked the bans.

Having puberty blockers as a youth would’ve been awesome. But I’m also very happy with who I am today and deeply love all the trans people in my life that didn’t have access to puberty blockers. So if you can’t access puberty blockers, I hope you’ll still grow up to be just like them—badasses.

There is a tremendous effort by donors to push the democrats to throw the entire trans community under the bus. It's a top down effort to collaborate with fascism under the deluded idea that it'll somehow win more votes.

Democrats have largely held solid on transgender rights in recent years in terms of actual votes taken. There is a hugely financed movement trying to get them to stop, trying to build pillars to allow them to throw us under the bus. Interviews like this from Sarah McBride are in service to that.
