"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

I asked Your Party for a statement on trans rights. After 78 days they got back to me, with a boilerplate reply that didn’t mention trans people.

Again Scottish Greens use alt text because they think disabled people are people. Listen to folks when they tell you who they are. Your Party Scotland clearly DGAF about the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled folks. Same as Labour. Its just the Labour Rejects Party.

Ah yes, @yourparty.scot, blocking trans people for asking them to openly support trans people and pointedly refusing to do so because "we just gotta wait for the conference".

@yourparty.scot: we support trannies. honest. me: your leadership doesn’t.

Current drugs legislation punishes those with crippling addictions and is a financial blackhole. Let’s start putting people first. Stop criminalising drugs. Start tackling the damage they cause. @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social

It's #AceWeek and #DisabledAceDay. Our co-chair, @kathrynbristow.uk reflects on their experiences of being disabled and ace.

The reason they aren't calling out the racist is that they agree with the racist, because they are racists.

Greens are shifting the debate. Next we shift power. Join greensorganise.uk

On 21st of October 1966, 116 children and 28 adults were killed in the horrific Aberfan disaster, caused by the failure of the National Coal Board. Today, we remember those who lost their lives and stand with the community of Aberfan now and always. Never again.

This Labour government hates disabled people far more than the Conservatives ever did. An ideological hatred, a bigotry they've been desperate to unleash for years.

65% of the way there. Can you help make it 66?

Worth reading this very measured yet equally strong and defiant statement from the folks at Trans Pride Brighton 👇🏼

According to the judge Mr Makepeace, if you’re a trans woman suffering from the stress of state violence in the form of malicious prosecution and lose your ability to “pass” that must mean you’re part of a conspiracy to undermine the court, you deserve a harsher sentence. He fucking spelled it out.

1/🧵 Is there any information on whether Ciara Watkin plans to appeal the bristling miscarriage of justice that effectively criminalises the sex lives of all trans people in England? Recorder Peter Makepeace KC‘s misogynistic remarks shocks me.

Nobody wants to listen to Piers Morgan, but hearing @zackpolanski.bsky.social in full-throated defence of trans people in the face of his vile bullshit for seven solid minutes is genuinely moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBvN...

Pretty amazed that zack polanski straight up, genuinely defended trans women to piers morgan on his tv show. Can't recall the last time I saw a politician do more than just a soundbite and walk away from it.

This is an amazing defence of trans people against one of the country’s worst transphobic bigots by @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Today my doctor told me it will be at least another six months until I can get the surgery on the NHS. I am not exaggerating: I will be homeless and probably dead long before then. My situation is completely dire.

Let's make hope normal again. youtu.be/qxt4HCjd7VA?...

In fairness, anyone at all familiar with this country's history would have to agree that opposing genocide is un-British.

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust. When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

All I can think of at this point is more support to BlackSky to develop and be independent. Clarification of words on my OP in comments, but gist is: Support ongoing developments whether BlackSky or NorthSky or wherever. bsky.app/profile/alia...

Green Party Conference 2025 just passed a motion that would Abolish Landlords! Through a programme of unprecedented council house building, taxation and housing those who need it, a Green government would eliminate profit from a human right. Housing for all.

The UK, where it's a 'Golden Ticket' to live with your family after being tortured.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 The news is in, and it’s good 🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda But the party stood firm 1.

I think this language of "crying racism" is generating "legitimate concerns" about tone at a time of a visible surge in real world racism, not just online racism, and big attempts to shift the boundaries on who is English, on how far remigration goes into settled migrants and UK-born minorities

In every single group of voters in the poll data used to justify this argument, the median voter is unsure whether Farage is racist. They are literally in the most persuadable group.

I'm a third of the way toward being rid of this shitty disease. Can you help?

White people saying the left shouldn't call racists racist boils down to a fundamental failure of empathy. They don't experience racism so they don't think it's a big deal, they have experienced being called racist and hated it so they sympathise with the racists.

i made a helpful reference

once you understand that these ppl are all related, all married, and they all go to the same dinner parties and events it becomes very clear just how this country became such a shithole so quickly also why there’s no diversity of thought in our media or political class. they all think the same shit

As a foreign transgender in this country im sure this isn’t going to be scary and dehumanising at all no way

"Lord Blunkett, who worked on the Blair government’s initial ID scheme 20 years ago, welcomed the decision, saying its 'time has come'." oh well it's probably an excellent idea then, can't discern a single flaw here

If we want to defeat racism we need to acknowledge that pundits who pretend Keir Starmer, a man who was empowered by the Establishment to take over Labour and purge it of the antiracist left, isn't enabling racism by accident are part of the problem.

I’m conscious that I’m a middle-aged white guy, but: did nobody look at the intense campaigns to convince the public e.g. Stonewall hates lesbians, the Labour Party is wildly racist, the National Trust and the Proms are treasonously anti-Britain and so on, and ask: is something fishy going on here?

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health. I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

researching a way to cure allistics

Wait so allistics just act like that because they have a headache?

I wish there was more grappling with our history when it comes to immigration. We went out and made ourselves the whole world's problem for literally hundreds of years. We have absolutely zero right to stop anyone who wants to come live here from doing so.

Solidarity with unions in Italy, shutting down ports, railways, schools & shops in a 24-hour general strike for Palestine. Coordinated action shows the power of our global movement. We won’t rest until the genocide ends, perpetrators are held accountable & Palestine is free 🇵🇸

Quiet reminder, as exhibit A in this theory, that you can’t tell a disabled person’s support needs from what they look like or their online presence.

the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles

There is no centre. Liberalism cannot answer fascism. Liberalism has. *produced* fascism. Only a radical anticapitalist transformation of society can save the world.

im not interested in a party full of transphobes. that’s a literal red line. get rid of them.

Well done to the @nionwomen.bsky.social team, their Not In Our Name petition of women in support of the trans community has just hit 50,000! notinourname.org.uk/petition/not... Please sign and share if you haven't done so already
