This is why Republicans lost every statewide office and the State House in Georgia. I’m trying to lower your bills and you guys are asking me where I’m going to pee.
Replying to @bentleyforus
@bentleyforus which bathroom will you be using at the Capitol?

The Corporation of London told the High Court today that if they are forced to provide biological single sex ponds they’ll make all three ponds mixed sex. Well done Milk Curdlers. After a century of no problems whatsoever at the Ladies Pond your obsessive hate might ruin it.

Os números das eleições nos EUA apontam uma derrota humilhante para Donald Trump e que a vitória do Presidente Lula contra o bolsonarismo há 10 dias pode entrar na história como o início da derrota de uma onda fascista global. Tudo começou com a gente, aqui no Brasil, derrotando a interferência do Trump, dos bilionários e das big techs. Tudo começou com VOCÊ, com o seu voto. E tudo continua dependendo de você. Continue mobilizado!

it was always heading this way. the idea that a queer identity leads to unhappiness and can or should be discouraged is old-school homophobia of the exact kind that led to section 28, and has been the obvious goal of the TERF movement for over a decade now
“We need to allow parents to say, no I'm sorry you're a girl, or even maybe, I’m sorry I don't think you're gay.” Kathleen Stock says parents should be free to question their child’s identity without fear of prosecution.

This is really horrendous. My mum’s initial reaction was to say she didn’t think I was gay. It broke my little heart. Thankfully she quickly became supportive and we’re extremely close but if she’d persisted with that line it would have been very damaging.

Lessons from Brazil: The left needs to get SO much more disciplined about not engaging with opponents’ narratives. Ignore, block, and get back to *your* message.

“Living standards are falling for us.” Yet UK banks just posted £29bn in half-year profits. Lloyds’ profits jumped 99% to £2.3bn as mortgage rates hit 6%, while Shell doubled its profits to £8bn. This isn’t just an economic crisis; it’s a wealth transfer.

I’d like to mention Mrs Thatcher warning about man-made climate change being a threat as big as nuclear war, not because I’m a fan of Mrs Thatcher, I can’t stand her, but I think it’s important that people on the right understand that climate change is not a left-wing conspiracy even though the fossil fuel propaganda says exactly that

Reminder that there is no need for living standards to fall, pain is not inevitable, everything can be improved starting Monday, they are doing this to protect the rich who own the govt and telling you this below because there is absolutely no threat to them whatsoever.

I'm 40 years old, and graduated from university in the summer of 2008. Throughout my entire adult life the prevailing narrative has been about cuts, "painful" years, and ever-increasing inequality. And mainstream politicians wonder why people are so angry.

I don't care what dumbass propaganda you fell for, the whole demonization of trans people is one of the most blatant examples of scapegoating in the 21st century and you're all morons for falling for it esp when it's so clearly a smokescreen to distract from actual issues
