It has taken me years, but I was finally able to distill into two sentences a political hypothesis that, while not an original idea, synthesizes a plethora of similar ideas into a single coherent statement. Republicans exist to promote fascism. Democrats exist to prevent Leftism.

It took me YEARS to come to terms with my sexual assault enough to admit it to MYSELF let alone tell anyone else. Of course a lib telling trans people to vote for their oppression is also a rape apologist.

You don't need that Starbucks latte. 12,000 baristas have organized. They've spent years fighting for a fair first contract. They're demanding better pay, more hours, safe staffing and basic protections. Support the workers, not the corporation stonewalling them. Boycott Starbucks!

And it should also be said that conversion is torture. It is always psychological and emotional abuse. But it also usually comes with sexual assault and electroshock torture.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

The Black sports bans are next.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This is their goal. Republicans and Democrats are fighting for this. Everyone who isn't cis, straight, and white doesn't get to be a full member of society, or even exist at all. In many places, Democrats are running full-on Christian nationalist campaigns, where non-christians are being degraded.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Banning trans kids from sports is fucked up. And you better believe there are terrible people and parents who see "Fairness in youth sports" as a much bigger battlefield that will include girls who are too tall, black kids who are too fast, etc etc

This is bad. And I worry that this idea of what is and isn't fair in youth sports is going to expand beyond trans kids. We'll see more and more "skilled" kids who aren't white be kicked off fields and banned for not playing fair.

Liberals like to throw out accusations of nihilism when you refuse to accept their dogma I do believe better things are possible I just won't accept that doing the same things that won't yield better things now or in the past will magically do so because they say so

Jewish people account for 2.2% to 2.4% of the total population of the United States. Which you'll notice is a smaller percentage of the U.S population that trans people make up. And yet you won't hear many democrats argue you have to sacrifice Jewish rights to win elections.

I know rich people are mostly stupid nepo babies with no practical life skills or empathy, but how do you fake your way through whatever higher ed was required to become CEO of Yahoo and a "pioneer at Google" without developing the ability to think of three compliments for your daughter without help

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

If you're harassing and yelling at trans people because they won't vote for fascist bigots in the shade of blue you prefer, then congrats! You know exactly what you would have been in 1932 Germany. A coward.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
