A few months ago I wrote about America's need for a new approach to 'protection,' especially for trans people. We're now seeing literal mass migration of trans people inside the U.S. and the world to safer places—and its imperative to build out this approach: www.liberalcurrents.com/rose-knife-p...

Rose, Knife, Policy

The doublespeak language of American victimization and violence has never been more clear than in Trump's second term.

Today the UK is putting into practice aggressive restrictions on trans people using toilets and changing rooms. This follows a complex legal/political mess over two years. The UK was among the best countries in Europe on LGBTQ rights; now it's among the worst. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

Pessimism of the Intellect, Optimism of the Will (with Brad Lander)

Interesting interview, @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com. It made clearer @bradlander.bsky.social's political direction, the many points brought up that the hundred-twentieth Congress will have to address.

Another moment in this interview: Lander says it's important to him to be a Jewish voice speaking up for the basic human rights of Palestinians www.liberalcurrents.com/mr-rogers-wi...

It's delightful to listen to Brad Lander talk about anything, but especially about democracy, and extra especially his thoughtful positive comments about #ProportionalRepresentation

Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · 22h ago

One thing that surprised me is that @bradlander.bsky.social brought up proportional representation without any prompting from me. I take that as a very good sign of where things stand on that.

Very excited for this one. One of our members in the Discord called Lander "the most LC congressperson" and I have to say that I kept thinking of followup questions as I was listening to him, and he kept answering them before I had a chance to ask them. Please give it a watch or listen.
