In case you wonder why I ever randomly start posting about how we have to respect and support trans people it's because shit like this makes me viscerally angry.

Tim Scott calls Annie Andrews "tranny Annie"

"In response to Tommy's world of exclusion, El Sayed spoke of a world of solidarity with all humans simply because they are human, and exposed Tommy as somebody who had, by his own choice, excluded himself from that." www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

Speaking the truth to a lie. Surfacing the buried implication. Expanding the "us" in the U.S.

And to be clear, I generally like Hamilton and want him to win but there IS an answer that works, that turns the challenge back on the opposition, if these candidates would LISTEN to those of us who have skin in the game and not the consultants. THIS is the way www.youtube.com/shorts/fvNS1...

We're being told if we sacrifice the rights of some, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. BS.

The next Democratic administration needs to appoint a special prosecutor specifically to put him in prison for what he did to Ukraine and the millions of lives he's responsible for killing by destroying foreign aid.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

A pro-life white woman ruling that a law officer was justified in killing a Black baby seated in his mother’s lap, shooting her as well because of suspicion of stealing diapers is as accurate of a summation of how the US has historically wielded its institutions against Blackfolk as I can think of.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

This new Sherrod Brown ad debunks a anti trans ad while tying the Republican senate candidate to Jeffrey Epstein. THIS is how you fight back against anti trans ads.

Holy shit.

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

Your reminder that Gavin Newsom can, in fact, suck all the fucks followed by eating all the shit in the world until he dies from it - he's a fucking MAGA wolf in Democrat sheep's clothing, in the least convincing manner possible:

[job interview] interviewer: so god killed all your kids? job: that's right

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

ali alkhatib@ali-alkhatib.com · 4w ago

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Time for this classic again.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4w ago

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

They were cool with the racism, sexism, bigotry, corruption, dismantling of social services and common decency, burning every ally, shooting American citizens in the face in the street, the insurrection, Trump being besties with Epstein etc etc. But once the price of gas got too high it was over.

Staggering levels of repudiation, rejection, and decay.

If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Steve Bannon is a white supremacist war criminal and anyone who aligns with him is antiblack. Would you pair up with David Duke if he announced he was anti-AI?

Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon are showing how political figures who once wanted nothing to do with one another are joining forces in the face of AI proliferation, Toluse Olorunnipa reports:

Anyway, we are NOT throwing our trans siblings under the bus for ANY reason. NO. You can kick rocks.
