As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

I advocate for withholding your vote from the leading anti-trans Dems, the ones calling us biological males and/or declaring they will be in favor of healthcare restrictions. So of course Will, who I have never had beef with, compares our anger to a cult and drives extreme harassment my way.

Nobody would be mad if you’d just said “Don’t take our votes for granted.” What you actually wrote is that it would be better for Republicans to win than some Democrats. It’s a de facto endorsement of Republicans in those races. Words have meanings.

I know it's futile to keep having this argument but I just want some honesty about what "he needs to win in Texas" means. It means anti-trans pledges will win more votes than they lose. And if you're comfortable with that then you should be comfortable with the idea that he will lose *some* votes.

Dem: We need to vote to protect our children from fascism! Trans: I will vote to protect trans children from fascism! Dem: Not them. Other children! Vote to protect the other children! Trans: I will vote for anyone who'll protect trans children from fascism. Dem: Wny do you love fascism????

If these dems are allowed to win and take power, the Democratic Party WILL get worse on this issue. So much worse. Yes, not as bad as Republicans, but we will lose the ability to right the ship when Dems win, because they will work like a ratchet... rights only lost, then paused.

What cis liberals need to understand about our political situation is that the Democrats turning on us is far, far worse than the Republicans winning, because if we lose the Democrats like we lost Labour in UK, we will have our rights stripped and no path to getting them back.

In 2026, there are 26 Dems running for Congress, Senate, Governor, or Statewide Office who have made anti-trans votes or statements. Iowa, New York, Ohio, and Texas lead the pack in anti-trans Democrats. Your EITM candidate guide for this election cycle. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A basic fact about how the right operates is that they take attacks on women's rights, trans people, immigrants and racialized people etc. deathly seriously, while many liberals and even many leftists dismiss them as 'distractions' or 'culture issues'. Often due to tacit agreement.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

Ross, also known as the abbot of unreason, has been suspended for three days. he’ll return Monday. the reasoning, you may ask? please see below (bluesky, I am simply explaining the circumstances behind a suspension. do not suspend me. danke shön)

Mamdani should do things the right way; have one of his operatives meet a nyt reporter at an event, introduce themselves as a registered independent and business owner, and repeat Mamdani talking points. The nyt reporter will hit publish without noticing this person's LinkedIn.

The play on this story today is all "fuck the NYT, Mamdani is awesome" but I invite people to read reactions from reporters who actually produce new information about local government

it's so fun how trans people can keep saying over and over and over and OVER again how the catholic church's ban on trans healthcare is one of the most sweeping and draconian and every day liberals & leftist just ignore it to gush about whatever meaningless "progressive" gesture the pope made today
