People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

Today marks the start of Ace Week. This year we will be amplifying the voices of our co-chair @kathrynbristow.uk who is ace:

The question is not "why has Donald betrayed Ukraine?" The question is "how big a cut of unfrozen Russian assets will Donald get for betraying Ukraine?"

The war against mail-in ballots, crucial to Black, Hispanic and American tribal voters, is turning into an armed conflict. But, as Edward Ward says, in the latest installment of Jim Crow Reloaded, “only one side is armed.” ▶️ Learn more & support our work at: SaveYourVote.org #SaveYourVote

Alongside health policy colleagues from @transactualuk.bsky.social, we are still analysing the full NHS England guidance issued today and its implication for patients and HCPs. We have issued an initial joint response here: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/joint-s...

⚡️Europe shuts US out of Russian assets conversation "These are frozen Russian assets held in Europe, belonging to Russians who are destroying Ukraine and killing people there every day.. the idea of releasing these assets is completely out of the question," said Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.

I see that JK Rowling is showing her true colors here. Gender Ideology is a term used by Russian government in its justification of war against Ukraine, democracy and human rights. Its a term used predominantly by the far right to mean anything that undermines patriarchy.

Trans people in the UK are being killed by transphobia. BBC. Let's do a documentry on the famous individual who wrote this:

Working on video calls, parenting, and going about daily routines — all while explosions echo in the background. As Russia intensifies its aerial strikes on Kyiv, residents carry on with essential life tasks while living under constant threat and fear.

"As an adult I was too stupid to read instructions to make tacos... and thats why trans people shouldn't have access to healthcare."

OTD in 1951 *2nd* wave of Operation Osen's deportations began. Over 16000 Lithuanians were forcibly sent to Siberia as USSR continued to liberate them from fascism & also their freedom 6 years after WW2 ended. Imagine mass deportations happening today?

Europe didnt just experience an exceptionally hot summer in 2026. It experienced a summer where multiple climate extremes reinforced each other. First - temperature records were broken at daily, monthly and seasonal scales across Europe Read more: climate.copernicus.eu/summer-revie...

I'm still on my "day job" as I start the daily thread for Day 1682 of Russia's all-out war on Ukraine. And it really is all out now, nothing spared Kyiv in particular, schools, hospitals, malls and bridges all "fair game" for the war criminals even 500km from the front.

‘A Deliberate Tactic’: Zelensky Condemns Russian Drone Strike on Kyiv School. #news #uazmi #war #zelensky #ukraine #russia A Russian drone struck a school in Kyiv earlier on Thursday, Oct. 1, while more than 100 children and over 60 teachers sheltered inside. President Volodymyr ...

⚡️Russian drones once more hit key bridge in central Kyiv, damage reported. "As a result of the drone strike, preliminary information indicates that the bridge support, barrier, road surface, and the protective concrete structure of the metro were damaged," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

Polish FM Sikorski: "Kremlin’s assets frozen in Europe are never going back to Russia. They can be used in the future as war reparations or to help Ukraine rebuild, or they can be used now to help prevent further destruction and make future reconstruction cheaper."

The Kremlin-backed Matryoshka bot network is weaponizing the FlyDubai incident to smear the US Democratic Party in increasingly bizarre ways. The goal remains the same: seeking to influence the upcoming US midterm elections.

A flawed HHS study is laying the groundwork for portraying the transgender community as a national security threat. Built on unvalidated data and politically biased assumptions, the study comes amid a broader push by the Trump administration to cast transgender people as a political threat.

Two Questions micro interview with my lovely enby spouse @danawidmo.bsky.social

Russian fascists are burning academies of sciences and kindergartens also because on the front lines, they are surrendering and dying by the battalion. As part of the Vivaldi offensive operation being carried out by the Third Army Corps under General Biletsky, 176 square kilometers...

I'm Polish and Russia can go and fuck right off.

In Kyiv, cars are burning and bodies of people lie in the streets after Russia struck our capital in broad daylight on a Saturday, clearly aiming to maximize civilian casualties‼️ ​Mayor Klitschko reports at least 3 killed and 7 injured.

Day 1675 of Ukraine's incredible defence against its giant neighbour. The attacks on Kyiv continue, the deaths continue. Russia continues to get away with its war crimes. Leaders talk about a deal, but the word justice is never on their list. Why? Every single day - still 100% record - the daily🧵

I can highly recommend @hopenothate.org.uk ‘s report Race Science Inc. as a good starting place to understand how a eugenicist like Nathan Cofnas can get hired at two prestigious universities over more qualified candidates. This is a major far right project to give the academy’s legitimacy to them.

Used a female bathroom. Shock horror. OMG!! 🙀 A lovely cis woman bought myself and a group of other trans people a solidarity bottle of champagne. Best part was they were a stranger who loved our earlier trans rights demo. Said they were scared of being challenged in bathrooms.
