Ed Markey is projected to win the Democratic nomination for senate in Massachusetts. This is why you don't try to throw trans people under the bus in the Democratic party. Seth Moulton just found out.
Election results graphic projecting incumbent Edward Markey as the winner of the Massachusetts Democratic primary. Markey leads with 73.0% (10,560 votes) against Seth Moulton with 27.0% (3,896 votes), with 1.6% of expected votes reported.

I hope a big part of this story is how Trans rights won. Markey wrote the transgender bill of rights. Unabashedly campaigned on that (among other things). Moulton questioned whether trans kids should play sports. Then doubled down. Dems should take big note here.

The Christopher Street Project was erected by Tyler Hack to support leaders in Congress who will not waiver in their fight for transgender rights. The support of this organization means something. A vote for Markey in the Massachusetts Senate primary is a vote for human rights.

I smell desperation. Seth’s entire campaign has been focused on Ed Markey. Ed Markey’s campaign has been focused on his progressive bona fides. At this point the Moulton campaign is grasping at straws.

It would be more accurate to say that the WNBA has been targeted by anti-trans hate groups
The WNBA has been the subject of recent debates on whether transgender women — people assigned male at birth who transition to align with their gender identity — should be allowed to participate in the league. There has never been such a player in the WNBA.

Although the league’s collective bargaining agreement says the WNBA is restricted to women, it contains no more specific language about gender identity or sex assigned at birth.

The Globe is simply lying here. What Seth Moulton actually did was refer to trans girls as “male,” imply they would hurt people, and say he didn't want them playing sports with his own daughters. It was blatant bigotry. He talked about trans girls the way segregationists talked about Black children.
Perhaps the starkest evidence Markey supporters can cite for dismissing Moulton are the congressman’s post-election remarks in 2024 about commiserating with parents who worried about having trans girls playing girls sports. He was attempting, ham-fistedly perhaps, to point out that the Trump campaign had successfully exploited Democrats’ unwillingness to discuss the issue — one that polls clearly show troubles not just independent voters but also more than a few Democrats.“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton told the Times. “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Ed Markey stands up for Transgender people and believes that trans kids should be embraced and treated with dignity. Seth Moulton scapegoats Trans kids for political "gain"; make sure he learns doing so is a political loser.

The Farm Bill draft released by the Senate does not do enough to stop the dangerous and inhumane HR1 cuts to SNAP. Call your senators (especially if they are on the agriculture committee!) and demand a two year delay in the cost shift at a bare minimum; we really need complete reversal.
