Mental health doesn't take a day off. The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised. That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

This is where freelance writing is at by the way 👍

Never really like sharing too much on here but I did think you should know that I do try to practice what I preach. A place I've worked for for over a decade pivoted hard to gen AI, both writing about it and wanting us to use gen AI tools in our work. I won't do that and as a result, lost a

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo. More, please. And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

I hope world press and governments come down on them like a ton of bricks.

This Sunday, May 25th, we will take to the streets to demand an end to the systemic, top down oppression of trans people by the state. This isn’t just a protest it’s a declaration of our right to live openly, safely, and authentically.

Terrifying developments

Shame on us

The UK has dropped to its lowest position ever (22nd) on the @ilgaeurope.bsky.social ranking of the best and worst places to be LGBTQ+ in Europe. Ten years ago, it ranked in first place. Our government must reverse, not further, this shocking decline in LGBTQ+ rights.

Really great to be partnering with Ben & Jerry's on this campaign You can support our @goodlawproject.bsky.social fighting fund for trans rights here:

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Was the BBC using AI to translate the new pope’s first message?! it was absolutely awful - incomprehensible and inaccurate 😣

This #AutismAwarenessMonth, I’m thinking of the thousands of autistic people in the UK facing disability benefits cuts due to PIP changes. As the National Autistic Society says, with 3 in 10 autistic people in work, the government should focus on improving job accessibility - not cut vital support.

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism. Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism. The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

I am so disgusted with the wanton stripping of rights from trans and non binary people right now. This is harmful and cruel.

What I would like the UK to be doing - vs today’s awful retrograde step.

I will never forget the time, when I was a local councillor, that a very rich man rang me to complain that the council's refusal to fix the potholes on his private road was a violation of his human rights. I was doing my MA in human rights at the time, so I had a hard time not openly laughing.
