elon musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars demonizing trans people in texas and democrats flipped the entire fucking state trans rights forever baby

Tacoma looks to be passing renter rights, landlord accountability, and money to fund a program that creates a program to support to both renters and landlords. Despite rampant lies from the landlord lobby

Brad Lander, who ran for NYC mayor, lost the primary to Mamdani, and then enthusiastically backed Mamdani in the general election instead of pulling an Andrew Cuomo / Haley Stevens… has now been elected to Congress. Just saying.

Thank you, NY-10 voters! It’s a profound honor to represent you in the U.S. Congress. Whether you voted for me or not, I’ll work hard to serve you, your families, and your neighbors every single day.

The state GOP must be in trouble if I’m getting their texts. I could not skew more Dem in my public voter data if I was trying. 🤦‍♀️ David Stevens, Cliff Moon, Sean O’Donnell, et al.: filter your damn data!

Here's why you should care about the trans athletes case today: Because if discrimination on the basis of gender identity doesn't violate equal protection, trans people can be segregated, outed, denied medical care, denied housing, denied jobs, and excluded by the government.

The Supreme Court BARELY upheld Birthright Citizenship. They are two votes away from fascists deciding who gets to be a citizen or not. Anyone who doesn’t want to pack the court is not a serious person.

Dying over nearly every AWC Board of Directors candidate decrying the loss of "local control" today (as I attend the annual meeting as a voting delegate for my city). Local control is great, but if you and your colleagues around the state use it like a blocker... it's gonna go away. Do better!

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

By the way, if you think you can ignore the FTC suit against WPATH because it just involves trans people, the legal theory proposed by the FTC would, if it prevails, allow for the FTC to sue vaccine manufacturers to force them to stop making vaccines too.

Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."

I need to understand what I’m missing here. What is the goal, how is transition planned… ?! It’s finals week for me so I will watch that recording after my finals are finally finalized… but wtf is happening, if anyone can share a quicker source than the meeting recording?

Reagan Dunn and Pete von Reichbauer are complaining that the ordinance has already been delayed. "I think before we become, potentially, the first government in the entire country to have no existing budget office or labor relations section, maybe we should think about it for a second." -Balducci

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.
