Both my (very religious) parents voted against the Washington anti-trans initiative. I cannot explain what this means to me, but it was genuinely moving going with them to drop off their ballots.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Her name was May Pollard and she had the whole world in front of her. The whole world failed her.
Boise's Jane Doe died at 16 fighting against dehumanization and repression by the state She was buried without her name and her case against the state was buried with her She was only 16. She lived and died here. We have to fix this for our babies.

In his opinion in BPJ, Brett Kavanaugh goes on and on about how sports are just "different" from other "factual contexts." But anti-trans activists don't see it that way. For them, sports bans aren't the end goal. They are the starting point. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We teach kids the Teapot Dome Scandal in schools and that was like literally pennies compared to these scams run just straight up in the open Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

Washington state in particular has a pretty nasty sports ban/"examination" bill coming down the pipe for the November ballot. We cannot let that stand. 🏳️⚧️
Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

I'm pretty sure Christians own the vast majority of things that people say Jews own, per capita. because our country is in fact run by Christians because Christians are the majority
Who owns most of our broadcast media? Seriously it's not a conspiracy theory when it's real. This is not saying that all Jews are a part of it, or even all rich Jews. But it's a reality that evil people are using accusations of antisemitism as a shield for their debauchery.

Gang of thieves.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

It’s not just age that afflicts Senate Democrats. It’s also New York/D.C. Brain. The proof is that @murray.senate.gov, who is the same age as Chuck Schumer (74), is light-years ahead of the Minority Leader on most issues. Truthfully, she deserves the role.
Tonight I voted YES to block the sale of certain weapons to Israel to send a message to Netanyahu's government. This legislative tool is not perfect, but frankly it is time to say ENOUGH to the suffering of innocent young children and families. My full statement. ⬇️
