"deeply offensive" and it's basically "Hey don't murder trans women please?"

Remember that old saying about keeping quiet if you don't have anything positive to say? That's why I haven't been very active lately.

Mark Carney and liberals shouldn't be allowed to march at Pride rallies as long as they're making deals with politicians actively trying to exterminate trans people. If that wasn't bad enough the deals are for pipelines destroying the earth and trampling on Indigenous rights

Whenever ICE shoots someone, they claim the victim was "weaponizing a vehicle." Let's understand this in context. The far right has worked hard since 2017 to demonstrate that vehicles can be weapons, using them to murder people in Charlottesville and elsewhere. crimethinc.com/VehicularAtt... 🧵⬇️

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

This is something I've been saying for ages re: how centrists treat the left. If left-wing positions aren't popular enough to win elections, then left-wing voters can't lose an election for you. If left-wing voters can tip an election for you, their positions need to be accommodated.

Trans people have been saying this for YEARS. But, oh no, it’s not until they discover that punching down and beating trans people to a pulp is not having the desired effect and, if anything, it’s leading to things that could affect them and their loved ones. Honestly, this makes me want to scream

Republicans are using transphobia "as a wedge issue for the broader erosion of rights," Hack said. "We saw this playbook with abortion where they incrementally rolled back reproductive rights. And it's incumbent upon Democrats to prove to us that they will stand by our fundamental freedoms."

There is no way to appease right wing bigots. Their brains are completely fried by the social media and pundits they consume. They don't live in reality. It's like trying to explain to a flat earther how their shadow works

They also dont have any interest in being appeased! There has never been any sign that an appreciable number of right wing people would vote D even if a Dem cut and pasted the GOP platform. Meanwhile, libs would vote Vance in 28 if he changed parties today

I also really appreciate how (assuming you're right-handed) the side of the stein facing outward towards other people has a howling wolf indicating your intention to party while the inner portion has a couple of wolves staring judgementally at you for drinking so much. Perfectly balanced.
