With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

Another one!

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

In the aftermath of the UK Supreme Court ruling on trans people and biological sex, a really concerning thing among cisgender legal advocacy groups has been adopting wholly the legal concept that trans women ARE biological men and trans men ARE biological women, as given in the ruling.

When slave labour, which is what this is, becomes a key fixture of a prison environment, this incentives further incarceration under capitalism, overwhelmingly targeted at minoritised communities and frequently (as already happens) for invented crimes which target the poorest, and those without the

Jess Barnard, btw, was also previously subject to an attempt by the leadership to force her out as chair of Young Labour for her opposition to transphobia.

Following @jessicabarnard.bsky.social for her blunt and to the point stand on this matter. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Slating someone you both really dislike together

So many liberals on this site convinced that Trump is now a Putin plant. I can’t believe it has to be said but the world isn’t split into two neat camps of people whose political ideology revolves around NATO vs undercover spys for Putin.

I love my library so much. They just emailed to say We're closing at 5pm due to bad weather We're fine free so return your (potentially overdue) materials later Don't forgot you can get books & music & movies from these links What a time to be alive

What does it say about the world when we think we need more ‘bruisers’ talking about education.

The UK welcomes Ukrainians but shuts out Palestinians — even as UK-made weapons fuel their genocide. Safe routes for some; moral panic and cruelty for others. There’s a name for that: anti-Palestinian racism.

The fascists are out in force on X today so much so we’ve regressed to taking the vote away from women. This is fine. Everything is fine.

Both the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition suggesting that Ukrainians are deserving of sanctuary, but Palestinians are not. That parliament has created legal processes for Ukrainians, not for Palestinians. What do we call that?

On this day in 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. First incarcerated in 1963, Madiba spent the next two decades imprisoned on Robben Island.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

And that’s on blairite human rights lawyers, everyone. If Labour don’t challenge the ideology of the far right, the far right will claim the ground at the ballot box. Its not rocket science.

Very few are using the phrase “white supremacists” when referring to the administration in the USA. They should.

We all saw this coming. Now it’s time for the UK Labour government to decide, will it follow America into carrying out one of the most horrific crimes of ethnic cleansing in our lifetime, or will it defend Palestinians and with that, international law.

Membership numbers absolutely matter for Labour. Tories - funded by a handful of extremely wealthy donors and they essentially own the press. Labour - depend on the funds from its members and their time to deliver leaflets, doorknock etc.

Notable further reduction in Labour Party membership: “Party membership is down to 329,957, down from 339,000 in November and 348,000 in July, and youth membership has fallen to 30,000, having been at over 100,000 five years ago.” bsky.app/profile/jess...

Some rare good news re UK immigration policy that I thought worth sharing 100s of refugee families who were accepted for UK resettlement but had been waiting years for relocation have finally arrived in Britain in the last yr, as the new govt has been quietly prioritising their cases Short thread🧵

Donald Trump just pardoned a violent insurrectionist who *also* happens to be a convicted child sex offender. (Imagine if the QAnon freaks who pretend to give a damn about child sex offenses actually gave a damn about them!)

Important moment for folks raving about Trump after the ceasefire. His role in bringing about a ceasefire in Gaza isn’t out of compassion for Palestinians. We are already seeing Israel ramping up attacks on the West Bank and the forced displacement of Palestinian families, with Trumps backing.

It’s that time of the year again where I ask for your favourite book recommendations, fiction and non fiction. Hit me #booksky

When you tear apart and chop away at the services people depend on day to day, voters feel the impact here and now. If you then ask them, would you like us to chop away at them some more - of course the answer is no. It’s by no means a green light to cut climate spending.

I know why people say this but also, no, I'm not going to just ignore the most powerful man on the planet.

I don’t know how many Americans have noticed or understood the significance of Mµsk’s recent interest in British politics, but if you know about his defence of T*mmy Robinson, then there is no question over what that gesture was on Monday. He knew what he was doing.

That’s, unfortunately, not helping things Stephen.

Wildfires and droughts are ‘woke nonsense’ obviously

Amazed at the level of reach at some people trying to defend Musks gestures. The man openly supports fascists. It’s high time the government took action against his interference in UK politics.

Disgusted by the Met police. Today they arrested Chris Nineham lead steward dragging him to the ground. I’ve seen him lead hundreds of stewards, ensuring peaceful and safe protests for 15 months. Anyone with sense can see this blatant attempt to manufacture a clash between protestors and police.

UNISON member @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social is backing my campaign and will chair this public meeting. Come along to find out more about my programme, and how you can get involved. It’s time to win! 2/3 🧵

Structural misogyny is a societal scourge that the left and progressive-minded people most constantly recommit to fighting. But we must also be wary of those on the right of our politics attempting to use this issue to fan the flames of racism. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/righ...

This is a great article from @jessicabarnard.bsky.social and Ben Liao. Violence against women and girls is all too real, as is the reality that people and politicians would rather use it to play political football and attack multiculturalism. Read more from Jess and Ben here 👇🏻

I just voted for the Renters Rights Bill to ban no-fault evictions & hold landlords to account — vital steps toward recognising housing as a right. To truly solve the housing crisis, we need rent controls & a new generation of council housing for secure affordable homes for all.

Biden will be remembered as a spineless man who held international law in contempt. From the economic warfare he waged against millions of Cubans to enabling Israel to commit the crime of genocide against Palestinians. He represents everything that’s wrong with the democrats

It’s hard to celebrate the reverse of something that should never have happened. It’s even harder to credit Biden when he should’ve overturned this 4 years ago. Clearly crushing the Cuban economy was more important, which the US continues to do with its illegal blockade.

Looking forward to speaking at the London CND conference this weekend. An important event to reflect on how we hold the British government to account and end our complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

“While every day Palestinians are being killed, it was only right to remind Keir of Britain’s role in enabling Israel to continue this genocide.” Last week, @jessicabarnard.bsky.social took the Palestinian cause to Downing Street with a message for the PM 🇵🇸 labouroutlook.org/2024/11/28/e...

This week, NEC members including myself, were invited to a drinks reception inside number 10 by the Prime Minister. While every day Palestinians are being killed and their homes destroyed, it was only right to remind Keir of Britains role in enabling Israel to continue this genocide.

srael has put the entire population of Gaza on death row. Its genocidal rampage has exposed the West’s bizarre hypocrisy. The ICC’s indictment of genocidal maniacs Netanyahu and Gallant is a rare ray of light in a world getting darker by the minute. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

It’s hard to feel enthusiastic about arrest warrants when it’s blindingly obvious the war criminal should’ve been arrested over a year ago.

How dare you suggest a comedian get some better material during a genocide! >:(
