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.

I met a Minnesotan who paid $18,000 out of pocket for dental surgery because Medicare just doesn't cover it. Your eyes and teeth are part of your body. It's time to expand Medicare to cover vision and dental - then get to work passing Medicare for All.

why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

In case you missed it last night: we are seeing reports all over the country of immigration surges and state violence. If you need whistles for your community, we will send you 100-3000 3d printed for free, and we will love doing it. 3dwhistles.com

JENNINGS: Let's say Democrats take the House. How sure are you that they would immediately move to impeach President Trump? MIKE JOHNSON: It's guaranteed. Probably on the first day.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

Hard to imagine what that would be like

Marco Rubio: "Anything that had a chance of making money in Cuba was controlled by the Cuban military and the Cuban communist party to line the pockets of a handful of individuals at the expense of the entire country"

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Out of nowhere, my spouse just said, “Don’t you think Nathan Fillion would be in something called like, ‘Jeff B.I.?’”

The vitriol directed at me and other members of the trans community for having the audacity to declare our votes are not to be taken for granted. By cisgender people who otherwise have called themselves allies. I wish it weren’t so utterly predictable.

for instance my generalization that everyone in the trump administration is a garbage monster who should be jailed seems pretty accurate to me

somehow its still controversial to say that genocidal war mongerers like netanyahu or george w bush love when their own people get killed as pawns in their ambitions

We already knew Egyptian intelligence warned Israel ahead of Oct. 7 and the Netanyahu govt dismissed it. Now we learn UAE leader MBZ warned Bibi directly that Hamas was about to try something big. He dismissed that too. One of the worst security failures in history. And followed by so much awful.

Hey friends! I am seeing that a certain Awful Lady and her unbroken record of sociopathic harm is back in the discourse. And boy. She really sucks. But maybe we can take this opportunity to highlight and celebrate children's authors who AREN'T transphobic pieces of shit. Great. I'll start...

Look, I’ve already got the books, so I’m gonna read them to my kids. Look, my kids loved the books and they really want to go to the theme park, how can I ruin that for them? Look, the game is on the xbox pass, it’s not like I’m buying it. Look, I’ve already got HBO. Look, it’s just a bathroom.
