If Parliament changed a rule they didn't have to change to specifically ban you the day before you were due to turn up to Parliament, you'd think it was targeted, too.

god how can labour politicians look themselves in the mirror. i know there are rebels but like. look at your party. look at yourself. look at what that red rose represents now. disgusting.

Can anyone find the Allison Bailey tweet where she accuses trans people of throwing a wispa bar and lemon into her garden?

Under the heading of “Straight women need to love themselves more” If he is not asking you questions about yourself on a first date, it is not a date, it is a therapy session, and he needs to be paying. Don’t split the cost 50/50 unless you have talked 50% of the time.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

Today I gave an excellent presentation at work on why people should just be nice to queers, especially us degenerate trans folks and it went well and I got to have about James Barry and Charlotte D'Eon de Beaumont and stuff but I am VERY TIRED NOW Have a goat

I did my degree because of a commitment to adult education from Ruskin College and I was a disenfranchised single parent with a handful of GCSEs Adult learning pays huge social dividends and changes lives

Absolutely devastating. And an indictment of the strategy-free approach this government takes toward universities: yes, lifelong learning doesn’t bring in millions, but damn does it give back SO MUCH to society.

Serious question for Democrats: What percentage of the population is *enough* to have basic human rights? Because it sounds like you think it's somewhere above 1 percent.

You know, I'm a big fan of pretty much every 33 year old with radical views who seemingly comes from nowhere and disrupts the establishment.

We gays should painfully remember how politicians, media, and judges have talked about homosexuality as a phase, sickness, sin, indoctrination, etc. Now they say the same about being trans. This is why we should unite, as LGBT communities, against the recycling of homophobia to abuse trans people.

tonight felt like an election night on old-school twitter — the jokes, the joy, the shitposting. don’t let anyone tell you this place doesn’t have the juice.

Brad Lander told NY1 at Mamdani’s party that what Democrats need to decide right now is whether to be “fighters or folders” and yes he should immediately mount a primary challenge to Chuck Schumer

trans rights…..electoral winner……interesting!

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

Democrats are in a primarying mood, and these 128 House members should be *real* concerned right now.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Let's gooooooo. They are not unbeatable. They're only unchallenged.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

I AM DECEASED

I really need my phone to stop autocorrect goddamn to goddammit!

This is TRULY the best goddammit news to be awake in the UK at 4am for Now, get Lander to primary Schumer!

I am gratified at Mamdani's win from a "maybe we will start getting Dems with a spine and a vision finally" perspective AND as a survivor with some real trauma from speaking out publicly about sexual assault, I am SO gratified to see a powerful predator sent to the fucking sewer at the polls

hahahahahahahah

they said this about AOC and what happened is they just drew more attention to a camera-ready, generational communicator, so please do threaten this more

Mamdani was my first choice but man did Lander really prove his worth in nearly every respect. This guy is solid.
