This is what happens when you get loud and demand Dems not drop trans people. We CAN get orgs to realize this. But we can’t stop with Kaptur. She’s the worst but not the only one. There is NO acceptable anti-trans vote or statement or ad from a Democrat. None. GET LOUDER!

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

If you're mad as hell about this and have some $ to spare, immigrant support activists on the ground here in Austin told me that the Immigrant Support Fund is the best donation destination; Wilber's family (and others) are helped via this stream: givebutter.com/ZkFxFu

according to the article, it took hours after the personal intervention of the mayor for his family to even get basic information about him. that information included that he had been transferred to ICE custody hours after being shot. no amnesty

as always, if you are an apologist for trans-exclusionary Dems, and especially if you do so in the name of supposed concern for the GOP putting trans ppl into "camps", & especially especially when you won't listen to trans ppl telling you why this is fucked up logic & strategy, I will block you.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

voter abstention this, voter abstention that, the obvious answer here is that Democrats could and should just support trans people. if you're on the left and consider yourself on the left in any capacity you should just be supporting trans folk

The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.
Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
> 
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

This is making me so damn mad I'm screaming at my phone. It's not a REAL issue for most people, but you know what is? Not being able to afford to live. Don't fall for their shit. Those questions are just gotchas and you're just playing their game. If you don't have spine to protect trans folks stfu

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

And one of my goals for the theatre was to bypass the interminable development cycle that drowns new plays. Find a play, do that play. Commission a play, do that play. Give playwrights a chance to see their work as soon as possible. Don't make them jump through hoops for a decade.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

very excited to celebrate one of Portland theatre’s high holy days, the annual one-night-only performance of Anonymous Theatre. they pick a play, each actor rehearses separately in secret, and everyone finds out together who is in it when they stand up from their seat to say their first line

My beautiful Mamacita was feral with kittens when I trapped her. She was tipped and taken back to my theatre's parking lot. It took a year for her to allow me to touch her. 4 years later I brought her home. She doesn't mind her tipped ear in the least!
A brown and grey tabby lays partially on her back with one paw extended toward the camera. Her striking jade green eyes look up slightly. Her left ear is obviously tipped and it doesn't bother her a bit
