fyi that's an AI bot

Thanks for this! I really needed a little light today, and I think you’re right.

Let's remember that what we're seeing here is not the beginning. This begun when the Biden administration quietly went back on all their pledges to the trans community and issued a new ACA antidiscrimination rule that opened the floodgates for state-level health care bans.

I hope so. I really do.

Our latest story. Like this is the entire Democratic Party of Ohio. There's reason for concern here. bsky.app/profile/erin...

I don't think most anti trans Dems are actually such by conviction anyway. I think they're spineless politicians who will follow which ever direction they think the wind is blowing to get elected. So change the direction of the wind.

Flanagan, AES, Jackson, Stratton, and then Nixon if she can win have been very vocal allies! Markey made it through too of course, directly crushing the transphobe Moulton. With even Kaine and Spanberger defending trans kids in Virginia, I think Labour should be averted, just need to cut the rot out

🤞 from your lips to the ears of the flying spaghetti monster's auditory receptors.

At best it will be another couple years before any law protecting right is going to happen. At least it might stop making things worse.

We can't get the Equality Act without 60 in the senate or a dead fillibuster, right? I worry that nothing will happen in any direction with federal legislation but we'll see more and more battleground races that attack us from both sides, making an environment that leads to more local restrictions

The signs are clear enough here in Ohio.

We have two marquee races here in Minnesota. The Dems are Amy Klobuchar for governor and Peggy Flanagan for senate. I think Peggy is solid. Amy is a little wobbly around the edges, though she has done nothing negative during this campaign.

Lesser-evil democrats fail to address the nightmare scenario for many of us: a budget amendment with bipartisan support that restricts gender affirming care as part of horse trading votes to fund the government.

Also, please remember that being an idiot for advertising does NOT signal how they will vote. Yes, they are shitty people that we should eliminate during the next primaries, but they are still the best option, and unlikely to vote against trans people facing our opposition. Dems listen to voters.
