He doesn't even deny his son-in-law is a white supremacist. He simply claims it's out of bounds to ask about his support of white supremacy because he's family.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency
Donald J. Trump

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

I know, and felt it at the time. It feels to me like people are losing patience with the status quo. I am hopeful that many do-nothing pols will be swept out in the next few years, but we shall see. We are all generally angry, hurt, endangered and poor, and can't afford pandering nonsense mho

Claudia: Annie Andrews betrayed trans kids @lesbianspacemerc.bsky.social · 11h
Alt text access for accessibility. @humanistreport.bsky.social can you repost with this alt text? No credit to me needed. Thank you!
Infographic about Annie Andrews' recent transphobic heel turn. 

Header: A Story in Three Parts

1. Lindsey Graham's sister attacks Dem Opponent, Annie Andrews, over trans issues.

2. Democrat Annie Andrews panics, throws trans people under the bus.

To the right of #2 is a screenshot of Annie Andrews' ad, which has her on screen with the text "No Men in Women's Sports".

3. Conservatives respond with Annie's old pro-trans tweets and call her a fraud, while Annie's own supporters feel betrayed.

To the left of #3 is a screenshot of her tweet, which says "This is shameful legislation that does nothing to protect or support women or children in SC. In fact, it is actively harmful. I will always support trans youth. 🏳️‍⚧️"

Footer: # (number) of Republicans Annie won over: 0
# (number) of Democrats Annie lost: ? (question mark)

I helped support healthcare for trans patients in a large county PPO in CA. I realize lack of healthcare is often a death sentence. My suggestion would be to go to the candidate's account and express your concerns She and her idiot Dem consultants will see the blowback from their immoral cowardice

I agree. otoh, rights for gay people have thankfully expanded. Fascism tends to destroy all human rights, as we see. And it begins with those seen as most vulnerable, always, right out of the Nazi playbook. My solution is to vote as I can, and fight as I can. I am only one person, and ymmv.

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 8h
I disagree about that in the US. People are tired of Dems being the 'GOP-light' and standing for nothing. They want candidates who will stand up for human rights will push back against false framing and bigotry. Pols seem to underestimate the number of folks who have trans and LGBTQ loved ones.

I absolutely am here Nor do I feel safe for a moment, for myself or dear ones. Little that has happened since Trump was elected has been a surprise to me; we are all in immense danger. Either everyone has human rights, or none of us do; I know it is that simple. She's here on Blue Sky; let her know!

There is absolutely no assurance that Dems will win in November. There is gerrymandering, voter roll purges, vote suppression, bot swarms encouraging people not to vote, and legal shenanigans going on atm. I am not sanguine.

I am aware how bought and paid for they are--particularly since Citizens United. Centrist Dems are quite content being the permanent do-nothing 'Opposition Party' while raking in $$$ and our lives all get worse.

That was not my position, nor was I trying to scold. I am outraged about the situation as well, for myself and others. I hope that pol is getting hammered with outraged responses. Meanwhile, there are 2 candidates....

Been doing this same calculus re reproductive rights for decades. Would me not voting have helped? Maybe if this candidate gets lots of phone calls and pushback she will change. And Dem consultants--wth are they thinking?

Actually, that was the 30-49 year olds in the last election. Age isn't wisdom, of course. Just saying that I experienced rights being given and taken away over time. Geez.

I feel for your family in South Carolina; I lived much of my life in the South, and I couldn't take it and moved West. Not going to do oppression olympics, but I am standing up daily for the trans people in my life, and dealing with my own oppression. Voting is power, to me, even with bad choices.
200
Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 9h
Exactly. Use your power, and vote out shitty Dems whenever possible. The bigoted GOP nearly destroyed CA in the 90s before folks finally saw who they were and voted them out permanently. It can happen!

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 9h
Meanwhile, there are two choices in South fucking Carolina. I would go with contacting and pressuring the Dem candidate, bc the GOP ain't gonna even listen.

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 9h
You are right. I agree with you; the GOP is pushing bigotry bc they have absolutely nothing else atm. And they will take that bigotry and expand it ad infinitum. I am aware of the danger for trans people and us all. We ALL must pressure politicians to understand that trans rights are human rights.

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 9h
Yes, I completely agree,and in fact I wrote that above! NOW is the time to push back, HARD. I guess that my oppression always pushed me to use my power of the vote, and to push back in every way possible; I just assumed that people would do that. To withdraw without a fight and not vote--not me!

Fortunately, you live in Brooklyn. You can put your time and effort and etc. into supporting the great candidates around the country that do support human rights for all.

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 10h
I get that! And I am on the West Coast where I and my loved ones are much more shielded (now); however, we feel the danger, for sure. My guess is that she is going to get ALOT of blowback on that, rightly. Campaign time is when pols often can realize their mistakes. I can't personally save SC sigh

Grantifa, fascism edition @handspun.bsky.social · 10h
I did NOT say that! ffs, I have many trans folks in my family and friend circle. I know she is in the wrong, and I don't support what she said. All I am saying is that this is a two person race. People can press back NOW to see if she will change her stance. This is on the people of SC.

I am a heartbroken realist, who was fighting for women's rights long before you were born, and has been screaming during the US slide in to conservatism,bigotry and fascism since Reagan. Someone in this convo does seem smug to me, though.

Enjoy your privilege! Women and minorities have had to hold their nose while voting all their lives. Bigots didn't suddenly just appear yesterday. There are thousands of way to support and further trans and minority rights in our lives and country every single day. Not voting isn't one of them.

Easy to say in CA Ok,get ready for increased funding for ICE and the military, economic ruin, continued tariffs, unending war, oligarchic dictatorship, more erosion of civil rights, and even worse outcomes for ALL marginalized groups, bc we are all in line after trans folks, as I'm well aware!

Going for the 'Oppression Surprise' option..and here we are! At least we can all die with clean hands .../s Life is full of messy choices, politics more than most. I go with the person whose values are MORE of a match, and who I feel will listen to constituent input. Every pol will disappoint.

I, too, live on the West Coast instead of the South I lived in bc I didn't want to endure all of that. But this is the reality of life in parts of the US. I understand you, but in my long life have found Dems more open to change once in office... while the GOP have become violent fascists. Take care

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

I'm not sure if @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have issued a statement on this yet, but they should publicly announce that if Russ Vought tries to fuck with the election in any way they will fire him out of a cannon when they take power.
