Just because Republicans won't do this doesn't mean we shouldn't demand they do what's right. Thank you, The news desk of LOLGOP

Cishet white guy who can conclusively say that this is completely true. Trans rights or else, as Jenny Tightpants might say. If you're opposed to someone's civil rights you, and anyone endorsing you, has lost my vote. And I'm guessing that's widely across the electorate.

what cis liberals need to understand is that us trans people dont exist in isolation. when you throw us under the bus in order to get the mythical moderate voter to vote blue, you aren't just depressing the trans vote, you are also depressing the votes of all the people who care about us too

It's so funny that MapQuest was all but counted out on the mat after taking a beating from Google Maps and Apple Maps but they navigated (lol) this current fuckshit political climate like a fucking boss. Kudos to whomever decided they should position themselves as WokeMaps

The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

Crazy that this professional sport that employs exactly zero trans athletes had a fake outrage about all their trans athletes. It's almost like everyone opposing trans rights is just a massive shitheel looking for IRL clicks or some shit.

This one doesn't even make any fucking sense. Unless, of course, all of these laws "protecting girls' sports" are actually intended to disenfranchise a minority population specifically and women broadly speaking.

A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas. Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law. So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy. She refused, so now they are cancelling the play. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump’s new White House Press Secretary says she passed the Bar Exam in China. China doesn’t let foreigners take their Bar Exam. Either she’s lying about being licensed or she’s a Chinese National.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

I guarantee it's not an original comment but he's definitely said the platonic part recently to Usha "just to see how it sounds."

What I'm taking away from this is that David Brooks thinks Nazis are cool and wishes they'd won World War II. Sure, that's hyperbolic conjecture but if he doesn't refute this? Well, I guess he's clued us in to his real beliefs, hasn't he?
