I have had to debate my own existence with bigots most of my life. The fact that so many people dont see the same thing being done to trans people is appalling. How dare you ask an incredivly vulnerable minority to tow the line for your shitty candidates

Nazi ICE agents are now terrorizing Brown people in Puerto Rico, demanding IDs from people who are Americans by birth. 🚨 Watch and Repost to everyone! bsky.app/profile/resi...

Armed ICE agents are moving through Puerto Rican neighborhoods with assault rifles, threatening residents who film them with pepper spray. In Villa Capri, a restaurant owner refused agents entry when they tried to enter without a warrant. Watch and share everywhere!

I’m so sick of this completely made up thing that liberals are desperate to attach trans people to. No one is saying they’ll vote republican in these convos. The very reasonable threat is that if you’re anti trans we just won’t vote. You wouldn’t make this argument in regard to any other group.

It's well established that you, personally, will be safer if the Dem wins rather than the Rep. It isn't clear to trans people that will apply to them. So, given the level of betrayal that they've seen, why should they help you at their own expense? "You can burn too" is a legit response.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

If these anti-trans democrats were talking about instituting racial segregation, withholding a vote for them wouldn’t even be a conversation, it would be a given.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

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.

The only lesson to take from Last Ditch Bar is that reporters like Annalisa Quinn that jettison private citizens and community issues to to level of national news are evil and should be cut out of a kind society and that queers should never speak with journalists under any circumstances

these ppl say this before every election. 'we will move democrats left once they are elected' then you just go to fucking brunch.

You can change Democrats minds, the GOP wants you dead. The Dems are just cravenly chasing their voters. The Overton window is moved by the party in power. If Trump is removed we can shift the national consciousness left again.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

We’re going to find out after the elections that transphobic Democrats have been taking a disgusting amount of funding from lobbies. Mark my words. There’s more money in murder than there is in solidarity in the US.

That or JKR has her wrinkled, grubby, little mitts all over things. Which is equally likely because in fantastic fashion the SCOTUS decided that foreign bribes were in fact ok and totally not corrupt.

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.

Dyke Spiegel reposted

People are giving Democrats lots of tactical reasons not to be transphobic but they're not doing it for tactual reasons, they're being lobbied (bribed) to be bigots.

Another day as a trans woman experiencing liberal voter disenfranchisement and voter apathy campaigns. Yet again, I voted too early. Because these scum make me wish I threw away my ballot.

The recent uptick in violently transphobic liberals with moderate to large accounts is most likely an op. It’s certainly no coincidence that this started up two weeks before several major elections.

The Venn diagram between liberals and Nazi is becoming a circle

Turek is running for Senate in Iowa, a conservative leaning Republican state. And it is a very close race. You have every right to criticize his position on this issue and in a perfect world I’d join you. But let’s put that aside and help him win this race. Turek is still better than his opponent

You know, most cult members have to be lied to in order to believe in their chosen sex creep messiah figure. Republicans are a rare gift. You can tell them they are being ruthlessly fucked over right to their stupid faces and they love that shit.

Trump: While oil prices are temporarily high, our oil and gas industry is making hundreds of billions of dollars. My people said, "please don't mention that, sir."

I simply cannot support a politician that has not issued a policy paper with seven Pledges and eight Commitments called something like 'Sensible Growth for a Prosperous Forward'.

The DNC is throwing their actual money behind anti-trans ads now. US Anti-trans bill filing went up 568% from 2021 to 2025. Not only will Democrats sell us down the river, they might do so EASIER if we let fascist Dems win, because it will be the easiest bargaining chip they can give to curry favor.

Dyke Spiegel reposted

hot take, but the country would be better off if Turek (and all other dems like him) loses.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.
