In previous life I supported technology in the largest school system in Maryland, serving more than 160,500 students. I retired early to work full-time on Obama's 2nd campaign, & have kept an eye on Dem politics since.

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

I think we need to push HARD on the fact that SCIENCE HAS OUR BACKS. 1) ALL the major medical orgs support trans healthcare, including for trans children: bsky.app/profile/moxi...

Literally every single major medical org in the US-- ALL the big household names like the AMA, ANA, etc-- support gender-affirming care for trans adults AND CHILDREN. Here, in this thread, is the proof. American Medical Association statement: www.ama-assn.org/press-center...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

It's well-documented that the president maintained a years-long friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker. It might strike you as odd there aren't direct allegations of Trump engaging in child sex trafficking.. except there are. There are SO MANY. They just never get reported!

How that creep thought he had any chance at winning the Democratic nomination for 2028 is beyond me. I swear, there are some *former Republicans* whose current political positions I agree with more than those of Rahm fucking Emmanuel. He’s worse than Carville and Maher combined.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

As if Trump’s refusal to send military aid to Ukraine hasn’t been sickening enough, he hasn’t even sent the Patriot defense missiles that Ukraine already paid the U.S. for.

Trump’s response to the Ramaswamy ad is worth dwelling on to remind us how his administration has actually treated survivors of abuse. Beyond Acton, beyond Epstein's victims, there are thousands of other kids and domestic violence victims whose lives have been made materially worse by Trump policy

thebulwark.comTrump’s Cruelty to Abuse Victims Extends Far Beyond Amy ActonHis embrace of the vile smear fits an administration that shields predators and abandons survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

Haven't Republicans done this in Congressional races in FL a couple of times? Funny how they didn't complain then.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

What makes you think we are not angry at transphobic Democrats? If the question is "What is the best outcome for trans individuals in Ohio?" then the answer is "Prevent Governor Ramaswamy". That entails voting for the Democrat (even if doing so is also frustrating in its own way).

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.
