The results: Greens win big. Farage/ Goodwin sorest losers in party sore losers. Starmer gone into hiding. Telegraph/Mail etc spin into "end of liberal democracy" wank fest. Tories lose their deposit. Party Elon Musk backed, Advance UK, beaten by Sir Oink A Lot.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

And today in the midst of a frantic election campaign I got a sincere and compassionate apology. This is so impressive from the Green party. Over the last few weeks I’ve been horribly gaslit by my Lib Dem constituency office who insist my meeting with Wes Streeting is at their behest…

If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.

My takeaway from the BAFTA incident is that those in charge of that broadcast at the BBC don't give a damn about any of us -- Black folks, disabled folks, folks who are both, the public. Now we're on a third day of racist and ableist discourse. Structural racism and ableism operating in tandem. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤬

This is royalty doing what it has done best for many centuries - protecting the institutional, by sacrificing the ephemeral; shifting to a defence of the ideal, when the real is beyond defence.

The word is 'dump' much as it sinks our hearts. This is the Europe we expect to stand as bulwark against the US. Additionally, the Mediterranean is a graveyard. I'll say this again -- Drumpf is an inevitable consequence not a cause of racialised politics of dehumanisation in the global north.

I am utterly sick and tired of self-declared experts who've never knowingly listened to a trans person in their life being elevated and presented by the media as definitive voices on our lives. A trans person is always too "biased" to comment on our own life and healthcare, but not these charlatans

#speirgorm does anyone know how to make a formal complaint about the lack of balance in this? RTE's formal complaints process doesn't seem to me to cover the website, only "broadcast material". Or am I wrong about that?
