Right-wing influencer Ben Shapiro recently mocked WNBA All-Stars, proving (again) that erasing trans folks from sports was never about protecting the rights of cis girls & women... in fact, anti-trans legislation will likely lead to more "transvestigation" of cis athletes

There's no reforming this rogue and monstrous agency. The only way forward: Abolish and prosecute ICE.

Wishing for moderate Democrats in Congress to condemn SCOTUS decision to exclude trans kids from sports (violating Title IX), barring them from the full educational experience. Hoping at least one will say "trans rights are human rights". Because none of us are free until everyone is free.

While I agree with your take, a healthy degree of reticence is understandable & we should always demand better candidates, parricularly in light of the Fetterman Experience

Yes, absolutely pathetic - just like voting innocent trans kids out of existence. Thank you for showing us that you are a TERF at best - now we know that you are no longer an ally. Shame on you for complying with the fascist playbook. You deserve to be primaried - now.

"You have a nice husband - it would be a shame if something happened to him". This fascist is forcing me to root for a Republican & empathize with a Fox "News" reporter. We are living in strange, dangerous times.

Good on you... I guess? Another MAGA/MAHA enabler finds courage after he realizes loyalty is a one-way street. The wolves still came for him. And he still can't utter the fascist's name. I'll give credit when he starts renouncing parts of the MAGA/MAHA agenda. Not holding my breath.

She was a public official who betrayed taxpayers. She had a higher duty of care than the average citizen. Judges may consider remorse (or lack thereof) in sentencing. Polis is delusional if he belives this will assuage fascists. They will come for him anyway. Because MAGA is a cult.

azprogressive.bsky.social @azprogressive.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

the "pro-child", "pro-life" administration celebrates a settlement that will cause direct harm to trans kids... beyond this atrocity, we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture - a defunding of children's health care through the reduction of staff & resources... so ALL children will be impacted.

spot on - he embodies the politics of grievance toward any "others" who attempt to obstruct his fascist agenda

further evidence that it was never about college students protesting genocide... the anti-Semitism is coming from inside the house... waiting for the ADL to condemn his statement - oh right, they gave Elon a "get out of Heil Hitler" pass

I cannot pretend to understand the grief associated with losing one's spouse. With that disclaimer, the lionization of Charlie Kirk was allegedly based on free expression & civil discussion. Peaceful protest is patriotic. Hypocrisy & irony mean nothing when there's more grifting to do.

Waiting for sanewashing to come from evangelicals ("Oh, but he's an imperfect vessel") & MAGA politicians ("Oh, that's just how he speaks"). They are enablers of fascism.

Geno bitches & moans, then storms off the court without shaking Gamecocks players' hands. What an entitled, privileged jerkface. The uncomfortable truth: he would never address a white male coach in that manner.

This is an immoral choice. Bombs over healthcare. It's the American way. Shame on Paula Cain-White & any other "Christian" faith leader who supports this man.

I don't always agree with the Chuckster but the tone & timing of this take are spot on

MAGA: if you refer to Charlie Kirk as a white supremacist on social media, you should lose your job & experience threats Also MAGA: Trump's post was fine because anyone who questions/investigates him deserves their fate

re: John McCain - "I like people that weren't captured." re: Marines buried overseas - "suckers" & "losers". re: VA spending - staffing reductions have created longer wait times, particularly for mental health services. He views our troops as inconvenient cogs in his fascist machine.

Your fellow warmonger Hegseth specifically referenced Christian theology in his press conference. It's often said but bears repeating: every accusation is an admission.

You mean the "conflict" your husband initiated that resulted in an air strike on a girls' school? The families of the 153 casualties would like a word. I would say "for shame", but you & your fellow enablers of state-sponsored terrorism have none.

I don't understand this coordinated response of Dems going, "Trump owes us an explanation for attacking Iran!" Do they expect his failure to provide one will produce a politically advantageous gotcha? Come on. Just say the war is stupid, wasteful and it should cease. Stop being weak and terrible.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

My feelings for these folks are complicated. First & foremost, no one deserves to be harassed by ICE - ideology notwithstanding. The question: what specific actions will you take to undo the damage? Because clearly you had no qualms about deporting "others" when you voted for a racist.

azprogressive.bsky.social @azprogressive.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

These pearl-clutchers had no qualms about crowds chanting "Let's Go Brandon". Because every accusation is an admission. Because they're bereft of shame. Because it's a cult.

Narcissists of a feather... Shameless but not surprising. She has given her tacit approval to the creeping fascism... So she can build her brand. We are governed by grifters & influencers with no sense of self-awareness & no capacity for shame. 77+ million people voted for this.
