You gotta be smarter than this… like this is just willful ignorance. Nobody said the second option. She is very clearly a bigot or is at the very least signaling it.

Yup which is why I find the way they attempt to influence elections problematic. Why are we paying these people to push their favored politicians? Feels ripe for corruption.

If they aren’t a community asset they shouldn’t collect taxes from the community.

You’re a collaborator

So what happens now? Do they just try again when all councilors are present?

Also it’s really condescending to say “this stuff”. Like this is about trans people being able to be full and equal members of society. It’s life or death, treat it with some compassion.

I get it, you think he’s doing some kind of centrist 4D chess. I think it’s both morally despicable to do so and will not work. I encourage you to reach out to Talarico and express how much you support his pro trans record and that his recent comments are disappointing.

000

Lmao so you’ll even admit that the bigotry is unlikely to deliver votes (if anything it might encourage trans people and their allies to stay home who otherwise would support him). I guess the campaign just really wanted to do the bigotry

I’d worry about ammendments being added to appropriation bills since that’s how most legislating happens these days. And dems are clearly signally that if they think they’ll get something out of it, they will throw trans people to the wolves. We gotta nip that shit in the bud.

000

How about this. Send Talarico and email saying you support his voting record on trans rights and are really disappointed in his recent comments. Post a screenshot when you are done.

Me: “hey I’m concerned about all these dems coming out in favor of anti trans policies voting for anti trans policies” You: “they won’t do that trust me bro” Like ????

Why don’t yall walk and chew gum at the same time instead of scolding trans people who don’t like being publicly dehumanized and disrespected. Maybe send Talerico a email and say you don’t like these anti trans comments.

What rubes? Like truly, who do you imagine is being swayed by these anti trans comments. The only people who care that much are trans people and their allies (who he is alienating) and vehement anti trans bigots who aren’t going to vote for him anyways.

100

I really wish yall would spend your fucking time advocating for trans people rather than scolding us and telling us we have nothing to worry about. We have been under attack constantly for the last 5 years. We are allowed to be worried about our supposed allies publicly abandoning us.

120

We have to worry about things like appropriation bills. These are going to the floor and dems (to their credit) have largely held the line for trans people. We absolutely cannot afford a situation where anti trans dems join with republicans. Look at what’s happening in the UK.

220

If he’s a liar then he’s not trustworthy… and it’s harmful! Him throwing trans people under the bus is bad even if he’s lying.

100

What does that have to do with literally anything?

110

Why should we believe that when they say they support those policies? Like if the senate is 50-50 and 5 dems are anti trans we are absolutely fucked bro.

220

And I’d also like to state. I want him to win. LGBT people OVERWHELMINGLY vote for dems. It would be nice if they could at least be interested in not making our lives any fucking worse in exchange for our votes.

Like don’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining. It’s incredibly insulting and condescending.

000

Again you keep saying what we are currently not able to do in Texas when all of those changes happened in the last 3-5 years. We remember how it was before and aren’t going to gaslight us into believing he’s some hero for support us getting SOME of those rights back.

100

And that’s a very recent thing! And it’s bad! I would like that to NOT happen everywhere and he’s signaling that he’ll collaborate with republicans to make it happen. If the senate is 50 dems and 50 republicans and even just a couple of them dems are anti trans we are completely screwed.

210

And you didn’t answer my question. Would you say we should support a dem who wants to overturn marriage equality? How about the civil rights act?

000

Well he’ll make laws for more than just Texas right? And again, trans people, including in Texas, had these rights until VERY recently. So he’s not offering slow and steady improvement, he’s offering the continuation of the rollback of our rights. That’s extremely alarming.

110

That’s just not really true. His stance is substantial worse than the rights trans people had within the last few years, including in sports. I’m appalled that trans people younger than me will have it worse than me and not better. Wished people asking us for power cared.

Juan C Chavez @inafutureage.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

This isn’t a good comparison because they aren’t offering improvement! Our rights are backsliding! They are saying they support making it worse than it was a few years ago. Would you support a dem who wanted to repeal and outlaw gay marriage?

How was I to know that sending armor clad, baton wielding, authority drunk cops running full speed at a crowd was a bad idea!

The investigation also criticized Davis for supporting a tactic that the Rapid Response Team was said to have developed that year in which its officers formed a skirmish line and ran toward a crowd in an effort to disperse protesters.

Jacob Clark, a lieutenant in 2020 who supervised the bureau’s specialized crowd control group called the Rapid Response Team, complained that the fence would become a “flashpoint” for protesters and result in more violence, according to the investigation. Clark said Davis failed to consider the team’s proposed alternative of embedding undercover officers into groups of protesters to single out agitators for targeted arrests. Clark said it took command “multiple months” to approve sending undercover officers into the protest crowds.

“There were no good options but avoiding the use of deadly force to protect the jail seemed more desirable to me,” Davis said Friday.

Davis also said the tactic of officers running at a crowd to get people to disperse was effective if the team’s members did not use force on people who were passively resisting. He said the bureau was clear with officers that they can’t knock people to the ground or strike them if some people turned and walked away slowly, for example.

“We told them you can’t do that,” Davis told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

But he also acknowledged that “it was like hitting the brakes on a car that’s going 80 miles an hour. It took longer to stop than it should have.”

This is difference without a purpose. Pick whatever word you want, the impact is the same. You think certain women are less than others based on their reproductive capacity and that’s weird and gross.
