Ps always totally appreciate when people are burned out by Labour but the Green Party is a completely different party.
We have a very democratic structure: decisions and policies engage the membership through grassroots democracy.
A totally different experience to the top down approach of others.

TLDR: The Green Party is already an umbrella (all parties are!) But with 60,000 members, 4 MPs, 3 Assembly Members & over 800 councillors - it's best place for environmental, social, racial & economic justice to grow.

The truth is, there is only one language that Labour speaks and that is the language of political pain. For so long as Keir Starmer thinks we'll all go crawling back to Labour at the next Election he will continue to court the Reform vote. We need to tell him we won't.

The origin story of Bari Weiss and The Free Press is that they were fighting for free speech, but the real origin story is that as a student she tried to get Middle Eastern professors fired. They are a snitch organization for the Trump regime.
The president of Columbia agreed to Trump's demands to purge all academic freedom re Palestine but then privately said she'd slow walk them, which immediately leaked to Bari Weiss's outlet, so then the board purged her too

Again, she tattled on my wife to their boss for refusing to meet her for lunch. Being a snitch is her whole shit.

Standing comfortably back and waiting for this to backfire fascistly
We’re pushing the boundaries on what we do, and how we communicate it.
Labour needs to be engaging audiences and taking risks on the online media which many now look to over traditional media outlets.

I guess my point is that there is a vast gulf between someone saying
1) I wanted Trump to hurt other groups but he also harmed my own group
2) I now pay more for medicine and I don’t know how I’m going to make ends meet
One requires a follow up question, the other requires basic fuckin empathy

I’m pretty sure the guy was *not* a Trump voter but even if he was, this is about insulin, not a yacht. When someone can’t get medicine, regardless of who they voted for, the correct response isn’t fafo, it’s “I am outraged with you, did you hear about what’s happening to ___? That’s messed up too!”

That’s rich, coming from the guy who used his power as a federal judge to start making (at least) interns and clerks sign nondisclosure agreeements because he was afraid of being outed as a sexual harasser.
I can only read this preposterous piece by a disgraced federal appeals court judge intimating that Democrats may cancel elections as pure projection so to lay the groundwork for Trump's "defensively" cancelling elections. www.wsj.com/opinion/coul...

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.
This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

When going out to protest, the goal shouldn’t be to get arrested. Do not run yourself into arrests. Do not just hand yourself over to the state.

This is utterly abhorrent
In a crushing blow to free speech, the University of Cambridge is asking a High Court for an injunction *through February 2030* to arrest anyone who protests on certain properties "in connection with Cambridge for Palestine or otherwise for a purpose connected with the Palestine-Israel Conflict."

But what if he jumps on top of a mushroom, hits a brick on the ceiling with his head, and money falls out
Judge decides to keep Mangione shackled on his arms and legs "for security reasons" and says he will remain that way unless he has to sign something.
Agnifilo argues against this decision: He is a model prisoner, there is no reason for him to be this way.
Not happening.
