This is genocidal rhetoric from the president of the United States. Trump explicitly stated that if Dems win the midterms, “Transgender will never end.” The stated goal of the president of the United States and his party is to make transgender people “end.”

also moulton is a fucking liar. his version of feeling “uncomfortable” was to describe his own little daughters “getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.” that’s not just a benign hesitation. it’s a violent fantasy. www.liberalcurrents.com/showing-thei...

Showing Their Buts: the False Compassion of the Concerned

“Compassion is important, but,” a beautiful turn of phrase that calls to mind the immortal words of the great leader Eddard Stark. Everything before the word "but" is horseshit.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Connect with others. You might contact your county elections board, see abt being a poll worker or election judge for the day. Go to county D party mtg (usually monthly) & they will have sign up sheets for poll watching, GOTV (calls; rides to polls); maybe voter reg drives, depending on state law.

It's not the same point, but the argument that the Biden admin had "porous policies" is completely false. They had a number of very harsh policies aiming to limit migration, the problem was state capacity to carry them out and the sheer force of the push/pull factors during the post-COVID years.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I do love David Tennant and his response to this question in the Guardian today.

Are you protective of the doctors that have come after you, having seen what Jodie Whittaker and Gatwa faced?
These debates – and it’s not even a debate, it’s a small clutch of people shouting very loudly, amplified by certain elements of the press – are not reflective of what most people feel. Things become ludicrously disproportionate, and end up being unnecessarily cruel. That’s what the trans debate seems to have become. Most people don’t give a shit. I genuinely believe most people just want to let people be themselves. All they’re doing is making a tiny portion of society who have a really tough time anyway have an even tougher time.
