When democrats do this it - depresses the base vote - doesn’t attract a single gop/swing vote - validates gop hate rhetoric - pushes young kids towards suicide - is immoral Otherwise it’s a great strategy for lining the politics of shit consultants

tl;dr Nobody likes Bill Maher. Not even the person Maher has been sucking up to over the past decade.

"As a kid in a wheelchair, I faced my fair share of bullying. That's why I'm bullying trans kids. It's MY turn." @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social , basically

youtu.be/c-4aw24mupY?... Well said by AOC, trans rights are women's rights are human rights. People upset with anti trans Dems aren't the problem. Don't let them give in to fascism.

imagine being a teen in the closet and watching your parents get this in the mail

me getting ready to go to my dumbass big girl job while my husband and cat snuggle in bed without me

"Other countries have to do whatever the US president tells them to because doing otherwise could negatively impact the president's approval ratings and therefore constitutes foreign interference in US elections" is a fascinating bit of reasoning, I'm not gonna lie.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Oops the centrist consultants painted themselves into a corner again

ZOHRAN DOES IT AGAIN Keep showing the world how its done Mamdani

gaia online making anti-genAI posts i knew we could always trust u

Remember when King Neptune AI slopped his hundreds of awful burgers in seconds and SpongeBob painstakingly made one delicious burger by hand

The far right loves the U.S. like stalkers “love” their victims. They love an ideal in their heads—in this case, white and 19th century—and want to kill their love interest when they refuse to be that ideal.

We can’t allow this man to get within striking distance of a viable presidential candidacy.

@governor.ca.gov really Newsom'd this one. Dude can't stop taking Ls. He's addicted to being the worst. If any of y'all thought he was cool from his posts, remember - that's the work of some zillenial staffer. Gavin was too busy worshipping Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon on his shitass podcast.

ICE agents are disappearing our neighbors and sowing violence in our communities. Their reign of terror has no place on our streets—Trump’s domestic terror organization must go. Abolish ICE now.

Gosh I hope he gets nowhere near those levers of power.

this stupid ass motherfucker simply does not have that dog in him

remember when Biden replied to some right-wing bait question about how many genders there are with, "at least three. don't play games with me, kid." and then got elected president? that was their last winning strategy. dems: "you're a dipshit. fuck off" was your last winning strategy.

Fuck Newsom fr

everyone I care about and love is struggling emotionally, underemployed, worked to the fucking bone, forsaken by basically everyone outside of their communities. I’m inclined to be a lot more forgiving toward my trans siblings right now than I otherwise might in a perfect world, and so should you

Blanket response to replies from cis people telling me Dem politicians actually support trans people

for those who aren’t familiar—the NAACP’s solidarity with trans people and willingness to recognize “similarities between exclusions of transgender kids and racial segregation” is something i find genuinely moving

This is Eugenics. Couple amping up the libido of their chosen specimens with their bid to lower the standards on human research subjects’ informed consent and mass deportation, and what other conclusion can be reached?

I know folks are freaking out over the freedom of the press issues. But I find it darkly funny how centrist /right wing those three in particular have swung over the years; but because they're nominally liberal - its too much for thin-skinned Don.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

The fact that Musk himself is sponsoring so many of the anti-trans ads this cycle presents a pretty golden opportunity for Dems to point out that of course the guy who literally wants to build a gas-powered data center in your backyard wants this election to be about trans people.

Damn, look at that. The CIA lady listened to camps in her support and changed policy to better hold onto those people. Crazy. Diplomacy IS possible. www.wvtf.org/news/2026-09...

Simple and so meaningful. Thanks Ed Markey.

Is anybody going to retroactively suggest that this was all too confrontational, that these people should moderate their language, or that none of this was ultimately effective in creating the political space for gay people to be seen as human?

This. These Dems need to stop feeling entitled to people's votes. You need to WIN those votes too, if you want a big tent. That's how democracy works. Even Ex-GOP are baffled by this self-sabotage. Say the thing that energizes the base ffs

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.

Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

Wtf is happening in texas...
