For a labour movement that cares about disabled people, including those who cannot work. For a labour movement that is against transphobia and actually protects trans people in it. For a labour movement that opposes the cops and police violence and supports prison abolition.

Also, the 2024 election was tainted by the fact that the Supreme Court ignored the PLAIN TEXT of the Constitution and allowed Trump to run. Trump was patently ineligible! Insurrectionists cannot hold office. That the Court is corrupt doesn't change that. We can read the Constitution! 1/

The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
