It is really good to see Zohran Mamdani doing really well but as a British leftist to my US counterparts - prepare for the most vile, aggressive and sustained acts of sabotage from the party's top brass.

PROVOKE AND PUBLICISE

Tomorrow in the Houses of Parliament the transphobes will attempt a “Provoke & Publicise” action. Provoke and Publicise was originally developed as a tactic by racist segregationists in US states like Alabama & Oklahoma to try and stop the civil rights movement there…

Charlotte Fosgate, a 17-year old trans girl completed suicide earlier this month. Over the weekend, Twitter users found her final post and began mocking her and making memes about her dying.

The level of duhumanization of trans people is so thorough, they're celebrating a teenager killing herself.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Kids are locked out of home ownership, burdened with tuition fees, suffer massive poverty, are threatened by the climate crisis and AI, had their live chances whacked by Brexit, have no healthcare support, and are constantly monstered by the press.

They don't need "grit"; they need fairness.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.

So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

What we're seeing at a local level could easily repeat itself at the next general election.

Imagine waking up in 2029 to a government supported by less than 30% of the public.

This is an emergency. We must scrap First Past the Post before it completely destroys our democracy.

The worse Starmer polls the more we see him at defence contractors - including today. Good thinking Sir Keir - keep those feelers out for that lobbying gig.

FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES.
There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

Make no mistake though it’s a deliberate attempt to divide and conquer the LGBT community; a goal of theirs is to make it only okay for cis gays and lesbians to organise on the condition they don’t include trans people. They want to scare us into submission and betrayal.
Carla saying this on BBC LK has forced them to actually report that the EHRC interim report is trying to ban trans people from all facilities + force gay and lesbian spaces not to allow them, which I genuinely do think most people will not agree with when they read it

The near 180 on LGBTQ+ rights in the UK is not only baffling, but also incredibly troublesome.

Minority rights exist so long as the majority consent to them. The fight will never end.

Having the same people who did years on end of “our vile racism shame must be cleansed by fire” then release lists of races by comparative criminality does feel like it should be a Fuck You too far, doesn’t it?

Complete surrender to transphobic hatred by the Labour Party.

No nuance, no evasion, just full bodied membership of the anti-trans hate campaign waged against one of our most vulnerable minorities.

No LGBTQ+ person could reasonably vote Labour after this.

can’t really be overstated how important it was that in an era where almost every single institution we have is being dragged towards fascism, one little old man devoted his life to shoving the world’s oldest institution towards more charity, grace and inclusivism.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.
