Trans ally Ken Jennings is blocking trans women like whoa...
uncommitted withheld their votes for specific and well-founded policy reasons ultimately revealed to have been morally and technically correct. stevens voters are going to withhold their votes out of spite and gutter racism
Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies
Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.
A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE
on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
There's a lot of posting about Max Miller and I just keep getting confused about why the gay food history dude is so controversial?
Yo, where are all my respectable bigots & impoverishers of the poor at so I can have a chummy intellectual chinwag in the marketplace of ideas about how to monster the vulnerable but politely?
@moderation.bsky.app The moderation on this site is fucked. Y'all are so desperate to be X.
Jessie Gender@jessiegender.bsky.social · 2d agoWait, was she banned for this??? This was the trans person who a Ken Jennings mocked. Did Bluesky really ban them for this? Do we have any specifics on this?

Karrid 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@karrid.myatproto.social · 2d agoWell, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.
it's incredibly funny that a bunch of folks in tech were the first people given access codes to hand out, with the owners of the site really not taking into account how that would mean them bringing their peers and friends: queers, furries, critical tech writers, and other People Of Internet
The Verge@theverge.com · 3d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Gonna try to give her the benefit of the doubt but given the trajectory of every Democrat for the last 10 years it's pretty likely we'll look back on this moment as a fiery red flag
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
If you're a trans person and you hear yet another Democrat say the fascists have legitimate "concerns" every alarm bell in your head starts ringing and you start looking at border crossings again
sometimes it happens mid-conversation, I’ll be chatting to a cis person and they’ll go “So can I ask you something…?” and I’m like oop here we go time to be Princess Ambassatrix from Planet Tran, lemme adjust my tiara and put the little 🏳️⚧️ flags on my embassy car yes hello citizen
WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

Donie O’Sullivan@donie.bsky.social · 4d ago"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker ... if he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I am out of here," James Carville says on Fox this morning. Reminder: The Left Insurgency airs tonight on CNN at 8p ET.
The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
See how he brought it back to shared values and shared interests. See how he connected it to the core themes of his brand. See how he didn't clear his throat over athletes for twenty minutes www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...
Abdul El-Sayed’s Argument for America—and Against His Own Party
The Michigan U.S. Senate candidate on campaigning with Hasan Piker, being a capitalist, and why his fellow-Democrats need to “stop compromising.”

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"
JD Vance wants his own wife and children to be second class citizens.
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 5d agoI think it’s a remarkably stupid thing for a political candidate to say. This is not the first time people have pointed out Vance’s hypocrisy on this issue, but to pull his children into it and say that you somehow know what’s in Vance’s mind about his own kids is over the line.
they take this more seriously than police shootings
