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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am wheezing. Did FIFA really just make up a fake peace prize to give to Donald Trump?
Gianni Infantino will present the inaugural ‘FIFA Peace Prize’ at the draw for the 2026 World Cup, football’s world governing body has announced. The award is designed to acknowledge “individuals who have helped to unite people all over the world in peace” with the winner to be

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)

I can’t possibly imagine who this award might have been invented for. 🙃

the lesson of zohran mamdani walloping one of the most racist campaigns in modern us history on the largest turnout since 1969 is that democrats need to move to the right

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.)
Classic British hard-left trying to own the American left, Mamdani and Sanders would both be considered Labour moderates if they were over here lol

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.

First time I've been really, genuinely envious of America. Look how dumb our political circus is, dawg
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…

Unbelievable: the journalist who asked the question below was now fired by his employer - Italy’s Nova news agency - because of it. Full story: https://t.co/nQgcVEo4uS

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.

My letter in the Guardian about why the @EHRC's guidance on sex and gender is unworkable and goes far beyond what the Supreme Court judgement actually said.

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

The American people have voted decidedly for transgender for everybody
Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson, on Spanberger winning after deluge of GOP trans ads: "Voters weren’t fooled by millions of dollars in cruel, transphobic ads and sent a message that they want real leadership that delivers results for their lives and livelihoods,
