I’m a bit late to the party, but I finally became a Green Party member today

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has turned the Greens from a party I admired for many years, into one I want to get out of bed and vote for

I hope that he can bring some real change, starting with the by-election next week 💚

Time for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his campaign promises and ensure care is kept safe for New York trans kids.

In a blatant violation of NY state and NYC law, NYU Langone has shut down its youth gender clinic and caused a potential forced detransition to its patients. Where is the NY AG and Mayor Mamdani?

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.
NYU Langone cuts off trans youth from treatment in the latest of a series of decisions by hospitals to abandon patients in need under pressure from Trump and the anti-trans right.

This is a dead giveaway for Labour.

A *landlord* puts up a sign supporting Labour.

Labour is the LANDLORDS party. No wonder he wants to stop the Green Party, the Greens are the party that will cut rents.

Banning a neo-Nazi group doesn’t dismantle the network behind it. As Sewell’s NSN dissolves, figures like Mark Collett and Robert Rundo continue to operate within transnational ecosystems built on online propaganda, shared aesthetics, and local chapters that sustain recruitment and radicalization.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

Reform’s new “head of policy” has said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a “regional Slavic conflict”.

He added: “It is a conflict happening in the world that I don’t care very much about.”

Absolutely disgusting. Yes I'm unsurprised but how has our country fallen to a level where naked racism can be broadcast like this?

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.

But that campaign is *never mentioned*.
