Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Brandi Buchman@brandibuchman.bsky.social · yesterday

Katie Johnson, 13, reported Epstein and Trump argued over who would take her virginity, and Epstein became angry and violently raped her when he learned that Donald Trump had done so. As shown by official FBI interview notes, Johnson, through her attorney, reported these alleged crimes to the FBI.

Disability rights advocates have been so reliably in solidarity with other minoritized groups, both through those with intersecting identities and otherwise.

If you're fine with your tax dollars paying goosestepping ICE fascists to shove children in concentration camps but just think they need "reform," but you are not fine with your tax dollars funding gender affirming care, you are, in fact, a bad person.

The "protection" narrative promoted by Trump and far-right groups like Heritage is a dangerous fallacy. Trump's DOE has abandoned sexual assault investigations under Title IX. It has set rules that effectively put the survivors of rape on trial and that favor the men accused of victimizing them.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org · 2d ago

The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault. Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Hire more trans journalists so we can ask this question in other states around the country.

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Relevant bit of history today. ACT UP poster against anti-queer bigotry from both parties. 1992.

Calling out attacks on trans rights matters, but so does showing up for trans people who are struggling to survive. I’m a Black trans woman crowdfunding for emergency relocation to safety. If you can, please donate or share my fundraiser. Mutual aid saves lives.

Serano also did a comprehensive review of *every* study on the subject last year and found that the vast majority support the claim that detransition and regret are extremely low in their odds. The best studies, she noted, find regret rates between 1-3%. juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...

plus over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis

Those who are politically minded will see parallels to rhetoric today. This is no coincidence. These movements aren't in isolation - many of the very groups that were behind this initial push, e.g. Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom - are now pushing against trans rights today.

In 2009, the American Psychological Association conducted a detailed report on the subject, surveying all the available evidence They concluded that there is no proof that conversion therapy works for neither cis gays nor trans people, and that to the contrary, it is so harmful that it ruins lives.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

And one huge part of what I did was to work with gender segregated service providers -- homeless shelters, anti-DV shelters, anti-rape/SA agencies -- to dispel the myth that danger is created by gender and not behaviour. Of all the things I worked on, safety in these spaces was my focus.

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

I wrote for @thenation.com about why people need to stop acting as though the dramatically escalating bigotry on display in US politics is just an unserious sideshow.

Why Calling Anti-Trans Hate a “Distraction” Is So Troubling

It’s a familiar line in the midterms: Anti-trans attacks are a “distraction” from “kitchen-table” issues. That sends a chilling message about whose rights are worth fighting for.

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

Historically, I've caught stuff before this bot, but... I've been a bit busy so redundancy from a different group keeps us all better informed. (And I've added it to LegiAlerts' tracker now also)
