No, you need to focus on supporting the incredibly talented new voices you have who are pushing bread and butter issues and stop the culture war shit because most sane people hate it.

Not endorsing the comment, but yeah the ballot initiatives are incredibly bleak if you’re on the Dem left. Any progressive victory on those ends (outside of data centers) can be counted on your fingers. We still need to do more to push the culture leftward

Thanks @suzanne_moore for speaking up for girls: "The Labour fools who like to present themselves as trans allies are no friends to teenage girls. If they were, they would say that we ARE our bodies & our inner feelings can never simply override biology, however much we want them to. We would accept too that girls can be as gender non-conforming as they like without being trans. "Anyone who thinks that we need legislation about this is deluded. This bill is a waste of time & money. Hasn’t the Government got better things to do?" With share token ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/gift/b03a3be… telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…
Labour’s trans law is a disaster for young girls

It’s no surprise they want to opt out of puberty, but criminalising parents who question a child’s identity choice is wrong

I don’t think the people calling them both jihadis are really making these distinctions are they Kristina? And if you want to troop out the tedious ‘it’s not a race’ line I’m happy to call it anti-Muslim bigotry.

Notice Jane calls it 'racism' not a religious culture. And she's too stupid to know that Abdul El-Sayed is a Sunni Muslim whilst Mamdani is a Shi'a Muslim and these 2 groups traditionally hate each other more than they hate us Jews.

A note on Paraguay: we aren’t just mad because we can’t access our money (although that in itself is awful), but because said bank went bankrupt because they used PUBLIC FUNDS to give out GIGANTIC loans to people connected to the president

What happened to Calvin Robinson? One moment, he seemed like a heterodox guy who was just a bit too edgy. Then I blinked and looked again and he had gone completely off the rails. Is this just a story of mental illness? Or is this a cautionary tale for us heterodox types?

Oh no highly intelligent well educated Muslim men dedicating themselves to public service and trying to make a real material difference to people lives. It’s the end of Western civilisation!!!!

And on the trans issues I hope that means liberal tolerance and universal respect for dignity will be restored against the rhetoric of the antiwoke right, separate from material questions around defending female only space, and supporting policies most people think are bonkers.

BREAKING: 🇵🇾 What just happened in PARAGUAY is a WARNING for everyone on earth. More than 3 million people (60% of Paraguay's adult population) have lost access to EVERYTHING. Their bank accounts. Their pensions. Frozen. Inaccessible. Paraguay’s largest digital bank, Ueno Bank, has collapsed. The president of the Central Bank (who is deeply connected to Ueno) has just RESIGNED. Eight high-level executives including the founder and the Bank President are being detained. The people have taken to the streets to demand their money back. And rightly so. This is the model Milei and the rest of the Epstein class are pushing. This could happen ANYWHERE. Best to save in physical gold and physical silver, imo.

As usual, a great thread by Jane. It's not difficult to understand why right-wing GCs are obsessed with her.

It’s an indication that most people do not have a problem with trans people but don’t agree with trans ideological claims that gender identity should trump sex in law and public policy and that all of women’s single sex things should become mixed sex.

My hotel room was forced while I was in the Supreme Court and the jamb spilt apart. But nothing was taken, £180 cash left on the table. Please note just in case. I am not suicidal, I have the most wonderful family and friends and many battles to fight.

" ... while she is still a Christian and believes in the differences between men and women: “I no longer believe in extreme gender roles, especially when they’re wrapped in spiritual language and used to justify control, silence or harm.” Well, duh. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

This person here commissioning a baby appears to believe he or she has not just ownership of the child, but of the woman being implanted as well. Count how many times the word ‘my’ appears… We must challenge this industry that perpetuates entitlement over women’s bodies and allows ownership of a (potential) child through the provision of gametes. Women are not wombs for hire and babies are not products to order. This is #surrogacy.
Screenshot from Surrogacy Agency Reviews Facebook group of a commissioning parent complaining than the agency has used an image of an embryo transfer involving the woman who has been paid to carry a baby. The complaint centres around ownership and whether using this image is unreasonable.
