A quick "whoa, really? that's really fucked up, man" from a white dude to another white dude for expressing a conservative opinion is (sadly) one of the most effective ways to change that white dude's behavior. Not usually the underlying beliefs, but the behavior. It gets in their kitchen.
Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

Imagine all the problems this would solve in the UK. Thing is, labour will never do it, nor will Tories or reform. If this was a thing, maybe super rich people might pay their workers a better wage so they wouldn't need universal credit. I'd vote for a party that mandates this, 100% #taxtherich

Can't help but feel Platner would make the Fetterman bait-and-switch look like truth in advertising.
Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with “woke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.
You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

When I first transitioned, I would drive a mile to a public gender neutral bathroom rather than use one at work. I found out later a dozen staff held “meetings” about what they would do if I used the women’s room. I was their boss’s boss at the time, still had no recourse, just had to let it happen.
The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.

Matt was absolutely delighted to repeat the smears that Gabriel and Labour Together produced in partnership. He had the time of his life repeating and embellishing them for his audience. What he’s saying here is an insult to the public’s intelligence, a giant roaring Fuck You to the country.

There is no earthly way in which Burrows can sensibly claim that extradition issues over politicised justice concerns, imposed on Ireland by independent courts, is anything like the state gunning down innocent people in the street. On this basis he should be asking the US to apologise too...

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

In Northern Ireland, where the Equality Act does not apply, the DUP Education Minister has unilaterally banned trans kids in schoools and the UUP Health Minister has unilaterally stopped participation in the puberty blocker trials, both citing legal cases they can't be arsed waiting on.

"I believed what I was told by liars" is one of only a few consistent positions the Labour Party has.
Yvette Cooper is asked why she banned Palestine Action
"I followed the clear advice.. which was very clear about the recommendation for proscription of this group.. you have to take really seriously advice you are given.."
This is clearly the line she's going with.

The Palestine Action judgment does not yet have legal effect, as no Order has been made and it looks like an appeal will be made.
That said, there is no barrier to the police dropping the charges already made after the mass arrests.
That is a separate and distinct decision.
