How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers
But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

Seems @blakegendebien.bsky.social was a full of shit when he said this to voters at a rally last year. It seems he was more than willing to put trans people, trans kids in particular, on the chopping block. What kind of coward doesn't stand up for kids while also denigrating adult constituents?

What's happening is that Republicans are priming Democrats and Democratic voters for more violent forms of transphobia. They're manipulating people into caring about something that is most likely never going to affect them.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

I know that many of us have been inured to much of the lawlessness of the Trump admin by now, but we must continue to talk about how this is explicit white supremacy being institutionalized. Anyone who doesn't root this out of our government stem and root will be complicit with ethnic cleansing.

it really does feel as if Democrats en masse are telling trans ppl that they don't want us as part of their coalition. if you disagree with them – if you *want* trans ppl to be a part of the coalition – then please call these trans-exclusionary Dems DIVISIVE because they are DIVIDING OUR COALITION!
