A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

Every time a Democrat takes an anti-trans position they are telling trans folks they don't want or don't believe they need our vote ... so stop getting all pissy when we give them what they ask for ... no payment needed.

Senate Democrats posted this the same day Josh Turek released the worst anti-trans ad of the cycle. Meanwhile, DCCC released their own anti-trans ad last week in South Carolina.

11 days until we elect Josh Turek as the next Senator from Iowa!

I guess I have to repeat this again: if you agree that Dems have to say anti-trans things to win, then you're not welcome here. You're not a resistor. You're not pragmatic. You're just a bigot and a coward that should never be trusted.

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

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

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.

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

Extraordinary. I can't believe your story may be the first time the Republican's acceptance of the rape and abuse of woman and children has been spoken of in such clear terms... considering how goddamn long it's been going on.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

Wisconsin is one of two states I've lived in whose insularity leads to the kind of evolutionary cultural craziness you find in animals in the Galapagos or language in isolated settlements. This is what hath been wrought in the name of sausage

Yeah any dem would have been better than trump but there was plenty that could have been done to prevent trump from regaining power and plenty that dems have not done to slow his authoritarian government. Rubio got unanimous approval for SoS, the LRA got more than enough support from dems

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

Trump got lots of funding for immigration raids and crackdowns and even now we got dems proudly proclaiming their transphobia and willingness to undermine human rights for access to power. What good is talk of a hypothetical dem presidency when the current administration is wrecking shit with enough

The single most frustrating person politically is the moderate who claims they want the same things I want, they're just more realistic/pragmatic about achieving them. This is a lie you tell yourself because you can't face the truth that you don't want the same things I want.

Speaking in Maine alongside Senate candidate Troy Jackson, Alexandria Occasio-Cortez shamed politicians who "scare so easily," and shift positions after an election. "The moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America," she said.

More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social

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:

People will tell you with a straight face that a majority of dems are supportive of trans people while the dems controlling the purse strings and deciding on policy priorities are doing shit like this. Real great alliance you’re building

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I have been inundated with emails from this dude (likely because I donated to AES’s campaign) and now I’m glad to find out that I can completely disregard him since he’s just another anti-trans loser. Too many of them amongst the dem ranks

Adam Hamilton, dem candidate for Kansas Sen., declares tonight at the debate against Roger Marshal that "there are two genders" and that he "doesn't want biological men, boys, competing against" his daughter because "that could harm her and its not a fair fight." He does condemn bullying, though.🤷‍♀️

It shouldn't be underestimated the extent to which free streaming platforms like Pluto, Tubi, RokuTV, Vudu etc. have replaced $ streaming and cable, especially for families living paycheck-to-paycheck, and the game of political advertising on those platforms, which is relentless.

Don’t let the screen door hit you and all but maybe you could just admit that you totally misread who was actually diminishing your opportunities.
