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.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

The Democrats showed their true colors with the latest anti-trans ads for Lacore. The capitalist class, which controls both parties, will turn to fascism when capital is threatened by working class movements. Let's build a working-class movement that will make them tremble!

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

You can't take a Neville Chamberlain approach to fascism. Giving ground to them only encourages them. You need to bomb their cities into rubble, metaphorically speaking.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

For three years, Britain's political class made clear that genocide was not a red line. Now they're making clear that opposition to genocide is a red line.

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski issued a solid response toAndy Burnham. Polanski said: "I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. "I'm a victim of antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party. "You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide."

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

We just saw "The Odyssey" and it occurs to me that Trojan is a weird choice for a condom brand, given that it's synonymous with letting a bunch of men sneak through what is supposed to be an impenetrable barrier.

Cw rape Something that's never discussed ever in the whole "why don't women report rapes to the police" "debate" is that the cops use sexual violence as part of their arsenal on a system level, for example one of the ways Occupy was suppressed was by the cops Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It bears repeating that all the people who said they would never vote for Gavin Newsom were never wreckers. They were presenting a gift that many people were too stubborn or bigoted to accept.

Genocide Joe trying to retcon his full throated support for the genocide in Palestine gives me hope that he at least knows that this is his legacy and it bothers him. It's probably the only consequence he'll ever have to face.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday sought to rein in a wave of legal claims that have pushed some local governments and school districts in California to the brink of bankruptcy, after earlier laws made it much easier to sue over child sexual abuse.

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

Macklemore: Palestinian children are people. Robert Kraft *actively getting a handjob from a strip mall prostitute he refuses to tip*: We must ban this hate speech from every stadium in America. Let me call up my friends, the Epstein client list. Ed Sheeran: Good point, sir. Both sides, sir.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Van Jones implies Abdul El-Sayed is racist against Obama for opposing weapons sales to Israel. What Jones calls “insane” is supported by 57% of Americans, and also legally required under our commitment to the United Nations’ Genocide Convention.

Bay Area friends: A friend found these small kittens behind a gas station and we've been trying to find them a home for almost two months. For now, they live in a small bathroom. Would you consider adopting? They are vaxxed, neutered, and incredibly affectionate. Please help!
