Wow you don’t say. Jk jk we have always said this. We are constantly saying this. TERFs just don’t listen for some reason jk jk we know that reason too.
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...

@jordanklepper.bsky.social finds out that Texans have more in common with James Talarico than they'd like to admit. Jordan's new special, Red Flags, premieres tonight after The Daily Show at 11:30pm ET on Comedy Central

“Unfortunately, finding a stray tabby under a car and gently tying your ballot to its tail with a ribbon almost certainly ensures your vote will miss the deadline for counting.” — Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State
My California peeps- PLEASE don't be fooled by the Epstein class. Vote YES on Prop 40- the one-time wealth tax on ONLY billionaires Vote NO on Props 41 and 42; both developed to stop Prop 40. Your retirement funds & savings r NOT at risk. Prop 42 in particular makes future wealth taxes harder
Check out our voter guide for the propositions. Also be sure to not vote for even a single Nazi (aka vote for zero Republicans)!

Just in case anyone was feeling too hopeful about the democrats
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 the first day of early voting in Michigan, and I’m heading to Detroit for a rally to support @jocelynbenson.bsky.social, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, and Democrats working to create change. Make a plan to vote at MichiganDems.com/Vote.
I'm volunteering for abdul & i encourage anyone who has the time and feels angry to volunteer time for a person or bill up for the vote next month. Just one time. One afternoon. One phone bank. A couple social media memes that you are prepared to discuss. A conversation with neighbors. Just 1 thing
I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

I don't get any of it. People still buy teslas, they still shop at Walmart and Amazon and Whole Foods and Target. We have control of where we spend our money and people don't even try for one day
Reading about Musk’s possible interference with Ukrainian operations and donating $300+ million to Republicans in 2026 alone then reading how many people are still buying Teslas is hard to square. There is no reason to buy a Tesla in 2026. Plenty of other great EVs to choose from. #ev

I can't give much more. I'm disabled and have no permanent income... a lot of people i see giving to the remaining humans in gaza are the poorest people i know while those with the funds ignore it. Give to organizations if you don't trust the families but damn- this is genocide. Please help!

i will keep saying that cis people will simply ignore any law they feel like until everyone is forced to stop pretending "sanctuary" states have been doing anything other than corporate marketing. they'll ignore the rest of the law too, just give them time 🏳️⚧️

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.
