In response to a slew of anti-trans Democrats pushing hate during the 2026 midterms, Governor Andy Beshear provided principled criticism to the idea that red-state Dems need to adopt anti-trans views to win: "We Don’t Throw Anybody Under The Bus," he said. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Serious critiques of higher education emphasize financialization (of administration) and the ever increasing precarity of teaching labor. It’s no accident that the mainstream critiques we actually see in the discourse ignore this to blame the crisis on excesses of liberalism

The only reason the US doesn’t have universal healthcare is because the Dems are too afraid of being called commies, which is going to happen regardless, to push for policies their base actually believes in. Just look what they did to Sanders a few years back! (He’s no Mamdani but still)

Judith Butler has their number.
I take it that fascist passions can take many forms, but certainly one form is the desire to strip people of their rights – their rights of citizenship, rights of belonging to a particular country, rights of self-determination. If we have the expulsion of migrants with the claim that they do not belong to a particular nation state, if we have the stripping of rights of trans people to determine their own sex, if we have the rights of women to self-determination, including bodily autonomy, taken away, then we are seeing a series of rights-stripping activities not all of which are eliminationist but some of which I think may well be. In Florida, we have heard pundits say that trans people ‘should be wiped from the face of the earth’. Among the right-wing evangelicals and Catholics in Brazil, we hear that gender is a devil that ‘must be driven from the land’.

New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.
