This is really well done, great tour of recent history for those who might not understand the rights trans people have lost or the devastation in learning some Democrats want to entrench those losses rather than reverse them.

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

It was exactly ten years ago today, on my 33rd birthday, that I posted this comic online.

the voucher program discussed in the article was created specifically for students with disabilities but before that? in the american context, private school vouchers became popular as a way of resisting school desegregation. that should always be part of the conversation about vouchers!!

ProPublica@propublica.org · 8h ago

Some of the nation’s first statewide voucher programs were created specifically for students with disabilities. But most legislatures haven’t required private schools that take this public money to accept even a few kids with such needs.

This is how you respond to right wing bullshittery, you treat their bigotry with contempt, you treat them as lacking any seriousness on the issue. You reject their framing,

WATTERS & EL-SAYED. Watters: Do you think men should play women's sports? El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has called the state’s current system of felony disenfranchisement “a shameful relic of our Jim Crow past” and expressed support for a ballot measure this November that would end it.

This is the only state that was banning people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

if you want people doorknocking for you and not merely dragging themselves in to "vote blue no matter who," you also need to show up enthusiastically *for* people.

I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

This statement from Rowling's team is so funny because it's clear that they're fuming that they can't shut Lilly up with threats of a lawsuit the way she does with everyone in the UK.

Dr. Catherine Strickson@brigitteempire.bsky.social · 2d ago

Eye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead

she deleted this once she realized that based on the time difference she was implying that schoolchildren in Scotland knew about 9/11 before it happened

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 2d ago

A helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.

If the Democrats had even one single vertebrae of spine they would surely be having a field day with a sitting republican president encouraging people to "cheat like hell" in a midterm election.

*hyperventilating* what do you MEAN we almost got a Cosmoknights TV show from the lovely comic created by @hannahtempler.com and they said NO??? Oohhhhhhhh my god that makes me so mad!!!!!

I just learned we almost got a Cosmoknights show but Hollywood is run by a bunch of bigots so we didn't and I'm now VERY angry. Go read Cosmoknights, by @hannahtempler.com its exactly as queer and awesome as it sounds cosmoknights.space

Mandatory life advice #SusanTaxPayer @punkitt.bsky.social

Democrats will go on TV and yell about how DSA types don't represent the party and its values and that they should start their own party... but then not say anything about transphobia being out of step with the party's beliefs. And I think that's very telling!

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

After Pretti was killed, Savageford, who is Asian-American, said she was taken to a warehouse near the Whipple detention center where immigrants were being detained. She was strip-searched, including by male agents who Cook told HuffPost on Friday were “touching her privates.”

Hey FUCK this guy. Christ why is it so hard to have a god damn backbone? Time after time it has been proven that throwing trans folks under the bus does NOT help your campaign and yet these dipshits keep doing it right near the finish line.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...
