Remember when these same people said Trump would moderate once he got into office.

Jane@jane.meangirls.online · 18h ago

Don't vote for Tommy Talarico or Amy Acton or Turek or any of these assholes. I don't care if you think they're going to moderate on this after they get in office or whatever, all I can see is Labour, which is now explicitly transphobic.

Now, I'm just a simple country lawyer, but maybe someone who openly admits that she plans to let her decisions as a government official be guided by something as petty as her own personal wants, is ipso facto not qualified to hold the position.

New Mary Peltola ad. “No, I don’t want kids getting surgeries to change genders, or men in girls bathrooms.” Dem, (AK-AL)

🦇 You want a real compromise from trans people? Promise to restore all the rights we had in 2014 that we don't today. That's it. Just bring us back to where we were. That's the bare fucking minimum. You know what I don't see any libs offering us? The rights that have been taken from us restored.

An impressive condemnation coming two years *after* Kamala Harris went down to the southern border to accuse Trump of being too liberal on immigration. "The people we *already* sold out are suffering more than the people we're *presently* selling out" isn't the "gotcha" you clearly think it is.

time to use the stones to chip at the stones

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Dear dems, Bend the knee, or lose. Choose wisely.

Claudia: lesbian space merc@lesbianspacemerc.bsky.social · 5d ago

I'm still struggling with the volume of cis people who're confidently telling trans people they have to vote for a transphobe because Republicans are worse. The absolute hubris. Do you think we're idiot children, who don't know what the consequences are? Of course we do. 1/x

🦇 We have to punish this electorally. Write in "Trans Rights" on your ballots. Dems must learn that there is no Democratic coalition without LGBT+ folk. We can't win by saying the enemy is right. We have to defeat these Democrats before we can actually start defeating the Republicans for real.

Last week, it was a few Dems agreeing with sports bans, calling trans girls "men," and agreeing to vote for national bans on gender affirming care. This week is Marcy Kaptur in Ohio highlighting that she voted "with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools."

"If you don't vote for Dems, you're helping Republicans!" Ok. If I *do* vote for Dems, *they'll* help Republicans on my behalf. If the outcome is the same I may do it myself.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 4d ago

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Between the Nuke Puppies Party and the Slit Puppies' Throats Party, there are an awful lot of John Wicks you gonna get mad.

You know, bgrrl's posts are really heartening. I know a lot of trans folks out there who really think they're cracking under the pressure, but none of them have devolved to the sheer level of conspiratorial nonsense shown by the average shitlib. Take heart, my transes: we're doing ok after all.

Hootsifer - The Owl Abode@hootsiferhouse.bsky.social · 5d ago

@/bgrrl.bsky.social blocked me but shes pushing this conspiracy about trans people and then putting any queer people on blast that tell her she's unhinged. DNI, report her account and her posts targeting other users.

Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Ok seriously, I need all of us to set aside our differences, come together, and convince Kamala to run. Once Newsom drops out, I'm confident in Kamala's ability to lose a primary all by herself, and the rest of us can focus on finding a good candidate. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Newsom says he won’t run for president in 2028 if Harris does

Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Brianna Wu. For better or worse she understands the severe damage that the right has done to this nation, & that's why she's *committed* to never being right about anything. That's a level of commitment to a cause that you only see once or twice in a generation.

I know the popular metrics like CPI have been a bit broken by unexpected price changes. But i think it’s deeper - we desperately an inflation metric which is strictly adjusted to measure inflation strictly for individuals who don’t own major assets like their cars/homes. Bc there’s real bifurcation

Anyway, we are NOT throwing our trans siblings under the bus for ANY reason. NO. You can kick rocks.

He’s not “on the other side of the aisle,” he’s a private citizen whose only job is bagman! That you frame him as equivalent to a congressional leader is the entire problem!! Fuck!

Democrats, I have said this before and am saying this again, well in advance: Bend the knee, or lose. You've been told what you need to do to win. It's now your responsibility to do it.

If you cannot be trusted to stand up for transgender Americans when they’re facing what some experts call a genocide, I don’t trust you to stand up for anything.

He should’ve leaned his lesson after he posted the dumb barbecue picture and they still called him a vegen sissy every day. All he did was piss off potential blue voters. Nobody considering voting for him was like “hold on, let’s see what he has to say about sports and trans surgeries for minors.”

Republicans went up today with a major ad run saying "Talarico is for they/them"
