They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Democrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump Demands
The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

Sorry, what are we doing here. Why are we pretending that 'two states' is a viable option, that 'we just gotta do more sanctions and they'll get the message' is a viable strategy for achieving it, and that the standard, liberal Israeli position is currently still mass expulsion of the Palestinians?

I would never say the left is doing anything perfectly but it seems to me it is doing a decent job of capturing general sentiment of people who hate AI being forced on them at work and despise data centers. I don’t know what a more nuanced take or whatever gains us.

Frankly the left currently has zero regulatory say on AI. Not even the right does. The left in Congress is taking the exact opposite approach you mention here, buying the absurd hype about singularity. I don’t see how we get from the left not being derisive on Bsky to a regulatory seat at the table.

i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it

Calling this a Sophie's Choice is so unhinged
Elise Jordan chats with Oakland County(MI) Jewish Democrats for MS NOW

"It's like Sophie's Choice"

"My big block is it just comes down to this whole thing with Israel"

"We'd love for him to make a definitive statement, just say: I would like everyone to know I support Israel"

"Choosing between two fundamental principles of yourself. I have a transgender daughter and I'm Jewish...a vote for Mike Rogers is a vote for my kid to be oppressed"

"My daughter is in her second year of law school and she has to hide being Jewish"

Elise Jordan: There's very little that will make them budge at this point. They fear that he is not the ally that they need for Israel policy, but also they're really concerned about anti-Semitism and feel threatened right now.

the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇
Part 1 of an open letter of resignation by Arienne Childrey, stepping down as Vice Chair and member of the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) Pride Caucus. She states that party leadership treats the caucus as a recruitment and sales team rather than a representative body. She cites an incident where the ODP censored and denied permission for the caucus to post a letter by two trans leaders addressing harmful comments made by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The State Party Chair reportedly called the letter an "unwelcome distraction," which Childrey notes demonstrates how little party leadership values the voices and dignity of LGBTQ+ Democrats.
Since that decision, every Caucus plan, every potential post, and every path forward has been filtered through a lens of strict compliance and ODP approval. That may very well be the party's rule, but following those rules right now is a dereliction of our duty to the LGBTQ+ community.

For me, any rule that silences advocacy for the trans community during this time is an unjust rule, and I see no obligation to follow it. In alignment with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail:

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

We are living in incredibly dangerous times for the trans community. We are in an era where the GOP has so thoroughly weaponized trans lives that even some formerly self-professing allies within our own party have fallen prey to the rhetoric. Looking at the national trend towards Democratic anti-trans triangulation, as well as our own internal conversations, it is clear to me that this shift is much more than a simple coincidence.

We have to speak up—loudly, strongly, and unapologetically—or I fear what our 2028 choices may look like. The ODP would like everyone to believe they are a "big tent" party. However, their successful efforts to silence even the Pride Caucus—even in cases where we are simply begging our candidates not to trade on our lives for perceived electoral advantage—has proven otherwise. The tent hasn't gotten any bigger; it has simply shifted, leaving many trans individuals, progressives, and allies out in the rain.

I will continue to advocate, organize, and fight for our community with everything I have. But I can no longer compromise my own moral principles by remaining part of a caucus that appears more interested in party approval than in true, defiant advocacy.

Sincerely,
Arienne Childrey

It’s absolutely fucking WILD that this was committed to writing, given that every Muslim and pro-Palestinian who appeared in the media from late 2023 onwards was asked whether they supported Hamas and required to renounce terrorism.
Asking Jews to pass a purity test and renounce self-determination according to a perverse interpretation arbitrarily applied, isn't just an extreme position, it's a racist one.

That's before we consider the Green party is now backing violent dismantling of Israel.

It’s not like Dems don’t know that most trans athletes are kids who have no advantage in leagues where the competition is for funsies. Or that half are trans boys. Or that serious leagues address fairness with rules (not laws). Or that bigotry often prevents athletes from playing already.

Israel has total control of Gaza. Nothing gets into Gaza because of tight Israeli security checks. So why is Israel still bombing Gaza? There are no weapons of significant size to be a threat to Israel. IT'S GENOCIDE. The world sees it but does nothing about it. Harsh words and sanctions don't work.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.
