JK Rowling, in the Scottish Times: "it is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence." Grim and genuinely frightening. This is the kind of extreme rhetoric you would only normally expect to hear from fascists. #JKRvsLGBTQ

The problem for your lot is that every "grandma-aged woman" I've ever met in real life, including mentors and family members, have all been profoundingly kind, loving, and supportive of trans rights. Conversely, "grandma-aged" TERFs online frequently seem to hate their children.

There is no way Infantino and FIFA has made up an entire award for the sole reason of giving it to one specific man (wonder who it could be)

Lmao. Your regular reminder that TERFs and "Gender Criticals" are not feminists, they are a weird cult of freaks who use "women's rights" as code for "bashing minorities". They have all the money and obscene amounts of power and are yet still giant piss babies.

Awww, I guess the UK gets its own right-wing crashouts over Mamdani winning, as a little treat. (For our American readers, Sanders and Mamdani would get hung, drawn and quartered by the "Labour modertes" currently in power.)

I’d say this was like John Terry taking off his suit and putting on a full kit to accept a winner’s medal, but John Terry didn’t spend his entire career putting in scything tackles on his own goalkeeper and blasting the ball over and over into his own team’s net.

Mamdani’s victory shows us how we can defeat right-wing populism here in the UK: deliver real solutions, not empty slogans. 💪📈

David Lammy wasn’t wearing a poppy at start of PMQs - it’s November 5th so still some days to go but most other MPs are wearing one. At start of questions Bridget Phillipson, sitting next to him on front bench, tried to pass him one. He now appears to have put one on…

EU Commission press briefing yesterday: Journalist: You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza? EU chief spox: It’s an interesting question, on which I have no comment at this stage.

Spanberger ran a Throw the Bums Out campaign against a lousy candidate during a government shutdown with hundreds of thousands of federal workers as voters and—crucially—didn't have to run against members OF HER OWN PARTY and zillions of dollars in dark money ads.

I think running way ahead of Kamala Harris in a somewhat purple state to flip a GOP-held governorship and elect a big trifecta probably has more national relevance than winning a D vs D race in a very progressive city.

It's 2045. Mayor Mamdani ran unopposed for his fifth term. I looked out the window of my free Central Park West apartment and thought about how far we had come. The groceries were free at first, then the restaurants. The buses were free too, then the Ubers. I looked at my

It’s 2027. I’m sitting on a free bus. Open stab wound still dripping. On my way to the grocery store to get bread. The man next to me is cooperating with the neighborhood mental health officer but he’s still gripping the knife. I feel a sense of regret wash over me. Why didn’t I
