Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Really try to imagine what it’s like to be a trans kid right now in the many states with ballot initiatives on their rights. What on earth would you tell yourself to get out of bed in the morning? To go to school. To even try and imagine any future at all. Could you do it? I don’t know that I could.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

The human rights situation here seems untenable. The rules have changed in a clearly discriminatory way, segregated "third spaces" often don't exist, trans people affected by this legally can't just resign, and they face court martial and imprisonment for rule breaking.

Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly. But you can fly the Vatican City flag. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Egyptian journalist Lina Attalah is among our best and our bravest, and her team at Mada Masr is incredible. Now, Egyptian authorities are trying to go after them. Proud to see @timep.bsky.social among a global coalition of 119 organizations stating that we refuse to let that stand.

In less than 24 hours, 119 civil society orgs and independent media outlets from around the world have come together to stand in solidarity with Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah following her referral to trial in Egypt. TIMEP is proud to be among them: timep.org/2026/10/23/u...

Shopify's CEO is on X advocating for Brad Bradford to win because of a City of Toronto post about speed limits featuring two men and a stroller, something he clearly doesn't think will happen under Brad's rule. This is the guy who thinks rich people deserve more votes. This is who Brad attracts.

They bought the company that was distributing the new Musk documentary and pulled it from theaters. Living in a global fascist plutocracy is wild.

hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?

Read this thread. God it’s relieving to see someone who isn’t trans even mention that there are actual people being hurt

I try to imagine it—hearing a vicious, down-is-up simulacrum of my lived experience wielded as a tool & a weapon, every single day, on the heels of all the other ways, implicit & explicit, I'm dehumanized by my society, culture, & politics—& I can't. I only know how it looks from here, & it's vile.

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

where are the articles about parents cutting off their kids, as mine did to me when I came out as trans? Where's the moral outrage over being cut off from family support, acknowledgement of the material harm that that has done to me?

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

The Conservatives want you to believe they can cut your taxes, add no new taxes AND balance the budget, all without touching your health care. The BC Greens have a costed plan that makes life affordable and asks the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share. Vote Green on Saturday, Oct. 24.

The goal should not be to punish rich white people the same way as poor Black people (leveling down), but to work to make sure that all people are punished like rich white guys (leveling up). Same here. It's true that Jews and Muslims face a collective burden Christians don't. But: no one should!

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

No, this is not the entirety of her transphobia. She used to focus a lot on trans men. She generalised her internalisation of her father’s disappointment in her being a girl into the experiences of trans men. That they were self-hating victims of patriarchy. They wanted to be boys as an escape.

What is it about centrists that makes them so gullible? Everyone I know, knew Burnham would not be a left wing PM. He has never been left wing. He hasn't ever pretended to be. But loads of people just refused to believe that the widely predicted Thatcherite mess we see unfolding, was possible.

We really need a Green Party government if we’re ever going to stop the blatant corruption in this country. Labour is a party for the lobbyists and donors.

You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop. Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.
