Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 3d agoWhat's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)
Get the 5 Calls app on your phone and hold them accountable every chance you get. Tell them trans rights is important to you and you will only stand with them as far as they will stand with trans folks (who, by the way, are also in their constituency)
Jay Edidin@edidin.bsky.social · 3d agoHEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.
Okay, I was waiting for election night to be done to post this call, but. I’m looking to speak with trans people who have found ways to play sports even as this country makes it very hard. What spaces have you carved out? What leagues say who cares? Email in bio Signal: SydneyBauer.30 DMs OPEN
It’s called leadership

Man, here's hoping whoever is going to be president after Trump knows how to shut the hell up.
Painfully ironic that despite being told by Republicans and centrists for over a decade that Muslims wouldn't support people like me, the most prominent politicians standing up for trans people in America are all Muslim.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 4d agoYesterday, in a hostile 60 Minutes interview with a Bari Weiss acolyte who once called trans kids a “social contagion,” El-Sayed refused to budge on trans rights. “A failure to show up and fight for that right is a failure to show up and fight for your own.” Subscribe to support our journalism.
I'd really like to see the idea of "I don't like/agree with them on everything, but I believe them to be upright and honest" have relevance again.

Who wants to start a PAC that mails fake brochures to people for fake causes. Like, "People for Guns" or "Age or Consent is Unconstitutional" or something? JFC. Ghouls. The lot of them!
TFW you'd literally rather lose an election to fascists than let go of your islamophobia
Rav Boodram@rvbdrm.com · last wk.5 days before midterms… “Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over their views on Israel Thursday, calling their positions ‘wrong’ and saying they did not reflect congressional Democrats.” www.wfmd.com/2026/10/29/n...
Watching the classic Star Trek: TNG ep “The Inner Light” with Patrick Stewart and Richard Riehle, who also passed away this month.
I don't know who's gonna be president after Trump, but I hope whoever the disappointment is can shut the fuck up.
Politics in the year of our genocide 2026 😒
Such a great record. Not just for message but the music/sampling is so good.
Remember when the Heritage Foundation guys instantly started talking about abolishing women's sports once they got the SCOTUS judgments on trans women
Samantha Brennan@samanthabrennan.bsky.social · 2w agoA new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...
Chicago dance parties? Preferably older folks welcome and trans friendly.
I remember people this confident about Dem chances in '16 and '24. I hope that they're right this time. Lol.
