If Brianna was alive today, your government wouldn’t recognise her right to be herself. Can’t teach about people like her in school. Block her access to healthcare. Very soon stop her accessing women’s spaces.

Take her name out of your mouth. Your party is an enemy and direct threat to trans people

she was murdered by transphobic classmates and this labour government has done everything to make trans peoples lives hell from replacing healthcare with conversion therapy to effectively reintroducing section 28. how about you focus on that?

This Labour government has made children like Brianna less safe.

• Has banned their healthcare.

• Reinstated a new version of section 28.

• Joined culture war attacks based on lies about trans people.

Either you do something about that or it’s time to take her name out of your mouth.

you should see what the labour party has been doing to migrants and lgbtq+ people

Olivia @iamolivia.bsky.social · 1d

they’ve known for a while and they don’t care. the labour party has nothing but contempt for left wing voters. they at best, take left wing votes for granted and at worst, feel entitled to them. you don’t try to earn votes you feel entitled to

obama became the first nobel peace prize winner to bomb another nobel peace prize winner, along with other war crimes and atrocities. but of course #bluemaga doesn’t actually care atrocities committed by us presidents as long as they’re not committed by trump

i know the israeli historian ilan pappe said: “most zionists don’t believe in god, but they do believe he gave them Palestine”, but that is just ridiculous

Olivia @iamolivia.bsky.social · 4d

this is one of the many reasons why the government recognizing palestine means fuck all. they are so desperate to stay on the good side of this fascist israeli government

The same group has worked with UK anti-trans organisations too.

Such as people in Sex Matters, who have been driving the anti-trans shift in government policy.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

It's deeply brain-damaging that the whole Cabinet have clearly collectively decided on this wildly antisemitic line, with no social pushback from any sector of elite opinion. The Sensibles have just decided to give this dangerous bigotry a free pass, because it's directed Leftwards.

#trevorphillips: "Should the regular marches organised by the

Bridget Phillipson says these protests can be deeply upsetting to British Jews & the govt will be bringing in new powers to restrict peoples right to protest.

they say that because they think she’s a man. “biological male/female/man/woman” is not a scientific term, it’s a political term. more specifically, it’s a transphobic dog whistle

no you don’t hate to say it. you don’t give a fuck about trans people. at least fucking own it

When it comes to intimidating racist protests including outside our homes or place of worship, Black and Asian people are supposed to just accept it and the government saying “we hear you” and “it is right to protest this” and “I love flags me”. No thought of “cumulative impact” for us!

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social · 16d

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

Wes Streeting using his Labour conference speech to attack Reform for being anti-science.

"Anti science, anti reason, anti-health" says the man who backs quack science when it comes to trans people.

his strategy is: “look how bad the other guy is… you owe us a vote”. only problem with that is streeting is also fucking awful

jk rowling gets all of her ‘information’ about trans ppl from a publication founded and operated by a nazi.

im not even kidding.

yeah. she's a holocaust revisionist bcos she's a white supremacist.

whenever she posts some 'information' about trans ppl it's very often from the publication reduxx. she regularly links directly to the site.

when she says she's 'done her research' she means she's been reading nazi propaganda.

funny what happens when you move to the right and feel entitled to left wing votes. eventually, left wing voters decide: no more

Olivia @iamolivia.bsky.social · 24d

recognizing palestine means fuck all when you’re enabling their genocide

Olivia @iamolivia.bsky.social · 24d

the tories or reform aren’t gutting the rights of trans people, paraphrasing enoch powell and complaining that the tories and reform are/would be ineffective in deporting people. this labour gov’t has been no better than previous tory gov’ts. and in some aspects, they’re worse

Olivia @iamolivia.bsky.social · 25d

this is what we got in return for “getting the tories out”. these people are tories who hate the bad PR that comes with being a tory

María Ramírez @mariaramirez.bsky.social · 25d

“The belief that uncontrolled legal migration was nothing but good news for an economy should never have been accepted on the Left,” writes Starmer “fighting” populism. What does even mean “uncontrolled” in the case of legal migration? www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f9444c6...

The Left ignored immigration fears for too long. It’s time to give communities back control

Only a plan for patriotic national renewal led by Labour will counter the rise of the populist Right
