If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

So true bestie, at this time, when the far right is making it as difficult and dangerous to transition as possible, we have to make our community as insular as possible and protect it from insufficiently-committed eggs who are afraid of retaliation if they transition! That’s the way to help people!

I know a lot of people won't want to hear this but the Biden admin opened an investigation on her that the Trump admin is piggybacking on. Your vote for Joe Biden has a clear correlation to her potential deporation www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Under Biden Administration, Justice Dept. Began Examining Ilhan Omar’s Finances
The inquiry, initiated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, appears to have stalled for lack of evidence.

You and your wing of the Democrats actually brought us Trump. You have to be pretty far down the bigotry rabbit hole to fail to credibly convince people your candidates are better.

They've spent decades convincing themselves that "the groups" have no choice but to stay loyal and will listen to their chosen "community leaders." I'm not even sure 'Political Scientists' even talked about "Sister Souljah moments" until the 2010s.

Outside perspective, this looks like it has been going on a long time. There are escalations and detentes. But I have been arguing against these policies since George W Bush was president. I seem to recall disproportionate violence and deliberate starvation as far back as then.

With Biden's full support in the Senate. And Harris's. And more or less the entirety of both parties. And they called anyone criticizing this genocide a racist.

Decades of arming Israel that D voted for. Decades of funding ICE that Trump is abusing. Decades of embracing "tough" rhetoric that promoted MAGA values in the culture that made a figure like Trump inevitable. Democrats participated in all of this.

But people asserted that they had rights that were being infringed upon by desegregation. They still do. It's wrong. You don't have a right to discriminate against people for just being who they are. Not Black people, trans people, various religious sorts, no one.

Set against a deep, indigo-dyed linen field, this auspicious Japanese textile design features a pair of red-crowned cranes (tsuru) banking in flight around a luminous, crimson sun disc (hi no maru). The central sun radiates with fine stippled white dots along its outer perimeter, creating a soft, haloed glow against the dark indigo dye. Below the sun, pine branches (matsu) laden with stylized white snow or foam-like crests extend upward, their needle clusters rendered in fine turquoise and white reserve-dye lines. The cranes display exquisite graphic precision: their outstretched white wings are detailed with fine black feathering and slate-blue secondary feathers, while their crowns flash with a vibrant crimson mark. In the lower right corner, a artist's signature seal anchors the vertical composition.
The pairing of red-crowned cranes (tsuru), pine trees (matsu), and the rising sun constitutes one of Japan’s most revered auspicious iconographic motifs (moshō), symbolizing longevity, marital fidelity, and eternal renewal. Cranes were believed to live for a thousand years and mate for life, making this imagery a classic subject for New Year celebrations, ceremonial textiles, and wedding kimono panels (uchikake or fukusa).

I am struck by how consistently transphobia and Islamophobia coexist in the same elite media circles as forms of approved bigotry, even as those same circles continue to whine about cancel culture and liberal censoriousness. It shapes and shades everything the industry produces.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

You missed Colorado and California. Also, electing Democrats promising these anti-trans measures will make that worse, not better. And that is only one vector of D backsliding on civil and human rights.

Dems will "listen" to who won where on what issues. Voting for an anti-trans Dems is voting for a future all-anti-trans Dem party. It is voting for no hope of any relief ever. Same with abusive policing. Same with colonialism. Same with immigration.
