It's great to meet all theses amazing new people. I thought I would introduce myself with a little thread. I’m a Green Party activist and a Patient safety manager in the NHS. I’m married and we have two miniature schnauzers! I’m here mostly to chat about politics.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

As wealth like Jim Ratcliffe’s concentrates at the top and the rest of us feel the squeeze, they expect us to blame ordinary people instead of billionaires like them.

#Reform, especially #Farage know that #ZackPolanski would wipe the floor with them & expose them for the #FarRight POS they are.
They'd be frightened that Zack would do the job our media & press avoid, & hold them to account.
Perhaps election debating should be compulsory?

Do you think Reform are too scared to debate the Green party because they're worried their lies will get exposed or how much they love nonces will get exposed?

In a way, Farage can't be bought because he is already an utterly devoted servant of the super rich. There's nothing more they could possibly ask him to do for them he isn't already doing.

Labour's Manifesto promised to ban conversion therapy. But I defy anyone to explain how, looking at the totality of its policy platform, Labour's real policy is anything other than promoting desistance.
Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.
So why is she running trans policy for Labour?
