transphobia is sexism

if you have a penis you must have these characteristics
if you have a vagina you must have these characteristics

the more transphobic a person is the more sexist they are

the more sexist a society is the more transphobic it is

this should be obvious but apparently it isn't🙄

bcos it was unjustified.

unfortunately labour are ideological about this shit. they don't listen to sense on anything.

The BBC News department is anti-Palestine, anti-trans and hates the left. The Telegraph should fucking love it.

“You can’t reform a carton of sour milk,” Fetterman told Ben-Ami, according to notes from the meeting, referring to the Palestinians. Fetterman said he did not believe in a two-state solution and claimed he had never met an Arab person who would condemn Hamas. “Correction,” the notes from the meeting stated. “Only a single Arab he has met with that staff was present for wouldn’t outright condemn Hamas.” Fetterman went on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, “Let’s get back to killing.” A person who heard the conversation told me, “He said, ‘Kill them all.’” In a statement, Fetterman denied the account, adding, “Any reference to killing was solely about Hamas, and I do support the destruction of that organization, down to its last member.”

A reminder that according to Fetterman's own former staffers, Fetterman had a meeting with J-Street president Jeremy Ben Ami in which he told Ben Ami that he believes Arabs are like a "carton of sour milk" and that we should get back to killing.

"Kill them all" Fetterman is reported as having said.

It's just interesting that with his LONG. record of being extremely racist and xenophobic, a lot of people who like to consider themselves liberal and not selfish didn't actually consider themselves to be done with him until this week.

When they were affected.

Realising that billionaires are the problem is good.
Take the next step...
Realising that billionaires know they have common interests and so work together as a group - or 'class' - to manipulate governments and promote their collective best interests is better.
Workers need to do the same

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

Ok so you are in favour of Democrats and opposed to Republicans and therefore Democrats should cave to Republicans?

"...broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were freelancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily."

Here you go bucko

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

How is implementing racist and xenophobic policies a leftist priority ? And how is any critique on racism attributable to the secret service of the Soviet Union, which ceased to exist 34 years ago?

Your fascist conspiracy theories get curiouser and curiouser!

And the reduction of net migration from so called “inferior races” should be a leftist priority because?

Margaret Thatcher is so evil Resident Evil copied her and made her the evil zombie boss without changing anything.

This is why Malcolm X said the American liberal is the most dangerous species in the Western Hemisphere. The horrors of Gaza and Sudan make him LAUGH!

Revealed: UK embassy worker in Tel Aviv owns property in settlement built by movement sanctioned by Britain | The National Government described Amana organisation as ‘funding Israeli settlers involved in perpetrating acts of violence against Palestinian communities’

Fascinating investigation by National News:

A long-time employee of the UK’s embassy in Tel Aviv owns property in a settlement considered illegal under international law in the occupied West Bank that was built by an organisation now sanctioned by the British government.

Maybe in retrospect historians will see this as the Wannsee Conference moment of the American Empire. With the German defeat in the battle of Moscow and the entry of the United States into the war the Reich no longer had the capacity to win and decided to implement the Holocaust.

Biden is indeed a Zionist extremist. Blinken accompanied him for years and was complicit in the genocide every step of the way, but I have the impression that even he was sometimes surprised how far his boss was willing to go.

Are we doing capitalism right or

lmao

The salary for NYC mayor is $258,750. Musk was just awarded a $1 trillion pay package. Who is the true swindler? 🤑

Well that’s the same right? If you’re lonely then you’re more vulnerable to scammers.

What is a ‘criminal’ immigrant? The word is an American rhetorical trap | Jonathan Ben-Menachem Labels like ‘gang members’ and ‘terrorist supporters’ are an easy way to make humans disposable

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents.

New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

Absolutely, but he had a meeting with President Erdogan when the genocide just started and could still be prevented and then tweeted something about a ceasefire, then deleted it. It shows how extreme the Biden administration was, even from the point of view of the pro Israel consensus in Washington.

To be fair, he claims that black conservatives are not representative, which is true. But this is not true for anti-Zionist Jews, at least in the United States. In Europe the situation is different, unfortunately.

Not surprising but disappointing that legacy news orgs reporting on the ADL's Mamdani tip line are not mentioning Canary Mission in their stories.

So you believe mass murderers on behalf of their corporate donors are decent presidents. 👌

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan
