starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

Laughing at what being engaged to Cory Booker must be like. Just an endless series of focus tested dinners.

Certainly. It takes talent to keep us safe AND speak Gaeilge.
Could you please donate and /or share to help Reem? Thank you very kindly.
You are a tall drink of cool water. Thank you.
That’s kind of the thing thought, the Sensible Centrists don’t get to spend years nominating all the terrible candidates they want, insisting the left just have to suck it up and support them, then when they don’t get their way decide it’s a bridge too far (but the left still have to support them).
Every word = gospel. Every. Fucking. Word.
This was the last of a reply thread and it's so succinctly perfect, it also needs to be at the top level. Read this, and then the whole thread:
Newsom is not a threat to fascism. He does not support basic universal rights for everyone. He does not support universal healthcare. He participates in homeless sweeps with a giddy smile. The problem is that he has distracted you with childish tweets so you don’t see his true nature.
Why would I join a coalition of people who have no interest in listening to my criticism of their anointed candidate and who have loudly declared that they'll compromise on anyone's rights as long as "Trump bad"?
Honestly I'm sick-to-death of people complaining about the "disloyal" left/trans people when the exact attitude you're complaining about is far *more* present among the elected members of the party (and ESPECIALLY among it's leadership).
hey have you considered if maybe the people demanding we abandon solidarity with targeted communities for an imagined political expediency are actually the ones who aren't really sincere about fighting the fascist threat?
Almost like you really need to consult and ophthalmologist. That or you are arguing in simple bad faith.
I did and an army descended into my mentions calling me maga .....
We have literally been doing that and still have gotten vote scolded. This is coming across as victim blaming frankly, we're the ones who get fucked if Newsom is the candidate, but apparently it's bad optics for us to point that out
We have been doing that the entire time, jackass.
Amen to that.
it's a hard indelible red line, so let the moral relativists adapt. have you tried not abandoning solidarity when your own comfort is threatened? maybe give it a shot, show me you're serious about fighting fascism
it's not even a strategy it's just basic decency
don't care, won't vote for a transphobe
Please help Fathi and his family! #MutualAid #HelpSky
Dem candidates: let’s fight fascism! Dems in office: let’s appease, compromise with, cater to fascists. Dem voters aren’t calling for “common ground.” electorate doesn’t want bipartisanship; they want the things Dem politicians >claim< to value in campaign promises. The bait and switch is BRUTAL.
The Horrors persist, but so do you! Check in with yourself to see if you need to… Eat! Any food is better than no food. Hydrate! It doesn’t have to be water. Take meds! Hell yeah, science. Touch grass! Nature is cool. Rest! We need fuel to fight. Play or create! Joy & art are vital self-care.

Words are easy. They really are. All you have to do is have the moral courage to pick the right ones. For example: "No, of course we would NEVER house asylum seekers in warehouses. They're human beings, not tins of beans. Next question." Instead... www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
@GelatinSkeleton on youtube - An always relevant quote from James Baldwin: “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”
That’s why I had to start a new campaign. Because my pain didn’t end, my needs didn’t stop, and my hope is still that someone out there will hear me. Please, if you see this—don’t scroll past. Share it. Support me if you can. Even the smallest donation can mean survival for me.
‘Very cranky’ statements that directly mirror those made by the leader of the largest economy in Europe three months before him.
Kier Starmer, my friends. He’s politics biggest bait and switch for decades, a human rights lawyer who actively shits on trans people’s human rights, a so called Labour leader who attacks disabled folk and immigrants while kissing bigots asses. He has to go.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Maybe people think we are fine now, but the truth is—we are not We are still struggling to survive, still trying to hold on with nothing left I’m just a girl who dreams of finishing my education, of living like other girls my age. Instead, I’m here tired, broken, and begging the world not forget me
They think it’s like kryptonite 🤣🤣
The only people who are 'Aryan' are those of Irani patrilineal descent. This ranges from the Alan Kings of France & Spain to the Irani people of China. Germans have never been Aryani. Zoroastra would have been astonished at Germans claiming to be inhabitants of Airyana Vaeja.

Oh I try not to as well. I fail on occasion.
Congratulations Zack, this is a win for something better and not the same old nonsense that Labour, Reform and the Tories want to keep in place
Damn I have something to vote for now, that's an unfamiliar feeling

This is exactly the problem with all the focus on the actors and not the actual authors of their scripts. Yeah, I wish Trump harm but he is only the symptom of a larger disease.
"How can you take on Man City when you want to score goals against them and they want to score goals against you? These are opposites!"
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
I wheezed an unhealthy amount from this.
I think this is the first time in my life I’ve voted for something and been in the majority. It feels like a trick.
The start of every 80s movie:
This is impressive
They're using the St George's cross like a socially acceptable swastika just like they use 'biological' as a socially acceptable discrimination.

The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.

Not just this but are you really looking at immigration requirements? You should be starting at immigration requirements.
Be great if media in general would now actually platform the Greens, instead of boosting Reform authoritarianism at every opportunity.

Scottish Labour MSP Colin Smyth, facing charges linked to alleged hidden recording devices in Holyrood toilets, was allowed to visit the parliamentary estate with a group of Girl Guides after being arrested
I wonder if the BBC would ask Starmer if he'd be happy if his daughter had to walk home past Labour parliamentarians?
Putin: "Russia has never had, does not have and will never have the desire to attack anyone." Buckle up, Europe. He is going to invade the Baltics.
There's no way in hell the Guardian top brass don't know about his background. Still providing cover for sneaking anti-trans activists into all levels of government.
@theguardian.com How do you figure anyone would pay you when you HIDE massively relevant NEWSWORTHY news? I guess someone else is paying you more than your readers.
And yet the Guardian will have the cheek to beg for money!
Ah Guardian, reminding us how big of a roll it played in normalizing Terfism.
But they told us that Sex Matters is nothing more than a smol humble women’s rights charity, why would they possibly want to cover up his involvement in that?
To find out what's really happening one needs to look at what the media are avoiding telling you.
The FT too. They can tell us that Tim Alan worked for the Russian government, Qatar and Kazakhstan, but just that he had "several charity roles."
The institutionally transphobic The Guardian did not change it genitally-obsessed spots.
@bylinetimes.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social This is unsettling. And newsworthy.
"The High Court of Twitter turned down his request to live there as a returning transphobe. He landed in Threads last night offering a "gift" of a million dollars if they'd let him stay. They said no." "He'll try Mumsnet next." "Mumsnet won't take him. Not for a million, not for ten million."
They were so abundant to make rivers of birds in the sky. Just like Robert thinks about what the prairies skies looked like, I think about tre prairie rivers and wetlands - the mussels, the froggos, the fish. And the people who harvested them without making them go extinct in a couple generations.
just use their names they're not voldemort
The @politico.eu reports @socialistsanddemocrats.eu in the EP reject the deal. Better be. How can we trust a US government that (days before Labour day) takes away labour rights despite recognised international standards (ILO convention 87 and 98) @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @corporateeurope.org 4/
#BBCReform's 'The Long View' just now on the 'spontaneous' appearance of St George's Cross Flags on lamp posts, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings made no mention of the Far Right's 'Operation Raise the Colours'. So much for 'inform, educate, entertain'. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/22/o...
Please think a bit Kev. Think about the message they're sending with this. Yes they are saying "we're enforcing existing rules a bit better", but the message they're trying to send is "look how mean and tough we are to immigrants" We aren't "concocting", we're picking up what they're putting down
I’m Reem, 19 years old, and I don’t know how much more I can carry. My family lost our home, our safety, and our future. Every day in Gaza feels like another piece of us is breaking. Yesterday I shared my new donation link, but very little came…. GFM: gofund.me/de96cb50
We are Sakher and Reem. Two young people from Gaza who lost almost everything. For nearly two years, our lives have been nothing but war, displacement, hunger, and fear. We lost our home, our safety, our dreams, and the simple right to live like others our age… GFM: gofund.me/459d365f
The people responsible for this should be getting statues, but instead, we have RFK in charge of the nation's health.
Yes, it was carefully hidden in the New England Journal of Medicine. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... ) 1/2
Though previous interventions by historical figures against the far right during dangerous moments in history had been staunch, all were surpassed by the “I like flags” tweet
This video was very moving, and the conclusion stood out. Explicitly stating that famine and genocide in the modern world is the fault of a small number of people in power and that the only way to solve it is for those people to be removed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa...

It's unconscionable that in a time of such grave peril for a vulnerable minority, one who has borne the brunt of all Trump's hatred and extremism in executive order after executive order (and I didn't even scratch the surface btw) that a single Democrat is making trans women in sports their focus.
So, when a Democrat makes their only statement on trans issues about trans women in sports, they are saying that this is their priority on trans issues - not restoring our equality under the law but joining Republicans in eroding it.
In some states, as a trans man who passes for male, I'm legally banned from using a men's restroom but practically banned from using a women's. My choice is between breaking the law and being arrested for breaking it. Few Democrats are talking about how much trans people have lost, and how quickly.
