A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

born with the world at his fingertips and made nothing of himself but a disgusting roadkill-eating moron. scum of the fucking earth.

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.

Someone, somewhere, someday will use this and the "Liberal memes: [wall of text]" meme to earnestly argue that Donald Trump was on the left.

How it feels arguing with libs on here

How it feels right now

When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

One of the most effective things Obama could do for the party is let it rip like this all year long. He's so good, but he saves it for rallies a few weeks before elections like it's a severely-limited resource and that's just not how the modern communications environment has evolved.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

Protect girls sports: At least one trans kid per team or automatic disqualification. Let's move that overton window baby.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

As an abuse survivor who's been beating this drum for longer than I'd like, I'm heartened to see "the physical and sexual abuse of women and children is a central ideological and policy goal of the Republican Party and the right wing in general" become the common-sense consensus.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

An 87yo in WI charged 17,766 times for $77k. An 89yo in D.C. charged 26,456 times for $429k. A 76yo in CA charged 27,236 times for $578k. There are thousands of examples like these. Republicans are even worse. We shouldn't have to protect our elderly parents from this.

The goal was never “children should learn about this from their parents.” It was always “children should only learn it’s bad”

feeling the ennui of a general mourning the loss of his greatest opponent watching that leaked mass effect trailer. you were meant to release and be really successful then i would critique the post-9/11 only a black ops strongman unburdened by bureaucracy can make the hard, violent choices ideology

This comports well with my hypothesis that people don't think the economy is bad so much as evil

While we're talking about Dwight Eisenhower...

the kind of anime that i watch: the world’s saddest boy gets in the robot....and that's sad... me: *wiping tears* you're so fuckin right tho, that's sad as fuck dawg

Obvious electoral rake-stepping aside, at what point is anyone going to acknowledge that young men are not “locked out” of the economy by some nefarious entity (women), they are literally feeding all of their disposable income into the gaping maw of sportsbetting apps. It’s actually quite simple.

Sometimes I'll marvel to myself, "How did I finish a senior thesis / master's thesis / dissertation without an ADHD diagnosis and prescription?" And then I remember, "Oh that's right, the cigarettes and the caffeine pills!"

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Running against Musk isn't only good politics right now, it's good patriotism.

Not to be a broken record here, but he's doing this because the the sexual abuse of children is a policy goal of the Republican Party. They do it themselves, their elected officials use their powers of office to ensure it continues, their primary electorate punishes dissidents on the issue.

Sabotaging American foreign policy in order to help win an election is one area where Trump genuinely isn't an aberration. Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason

starting to think that, maybe it was a mistake to have one of the two major political parties be entirely boomers whose kids have cut them off

I wish Biden had been a war hawk who shipped thousands of Bradleys to Ukraine. I wish our entire stockpile of 155mm rounds were used on Russian soldiers. There isn’t a single escalatory act NATO members could commit against Russia that I wouldn’t support.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

look if shit is so dire for the democrats that they NEED every vote from trans people, maybe they shouldn't run candidates who are transphobic or fold on even the slightest pushback to trans rights it's not our fault y'all's guys suck

i have yet to see a non-loser explain exactly why we need to throw our trans friends in the garbage to win. it sort of seems like the losers who lost are the ones saying that

While it's true that trans eradication runs on far right conservatism, it takes a liberal to invent the idea that you can tell someone you don't believe they're a man/woman in a way that is "appropriate and respectful."

Frankly centrists who support anti-trans politicians to “win” should feel nervous that they’ve made a bad call—because they have—and I have no interest in making them feel anything else. Suffer, cowards.
