Liberals like to find that niche where they can keep triangulating toward Zionism, but pose gravely critical too. As if suddenly we all supposed to take their slow roll seriously.
Graham said, “I don’t want to just help build a movement that’s going to be able to hold other people in power accountable. It’s also going to be able to hold me accountable.” Will the movement, as it actually exists today, hold him accountable? open.substack.com/pub/mariefol...

Marshalling a mob to harass a Jewish politician you don't like for his housing policy by tying him to the actions of Israel is clearly antisemitism. And the prejudices that allowed people at the Trans Pride March in SF to be stirred up by such a bad faith actor? Obviously antisemtic prejudices!
We need to recognize what happened to Scott Wiener at the San Francisco Trans Pride March as antisemitism, and finally purge this poison from left wing movements. A new opinion piece by Evan Urquhart, @evanurquhart.bsky.social, only on Assigned Media. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

transmisogyny is just misogyny with extra steps. it was always about controlling how we define women so that they fit a profile consistent with cishetero men's desires and "gender critical" feminists played right into it. now any woman who doesn't look "feminine enough" is in the crosshairs.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Feb 2 Good backgrounder from The Advocate on the state of anti-trans bathroom laws in the states, 21 of which have passed some ban with 2 adding the possibility of criminal penalty. Many of these are limited to govt buildings and schools.
21 states limit transgender people’s bathroom use, with criminal penalties in two
In a growing number of Republican-led states, just using the bathroom is becoming a crime depending on who you are.
