Some Dems haven't learned. The way to counter anti-trans ads with no ground in reality is not, "Well, I share *some* of your prejudices about not trans ppl, but not to the extent *they* do." If ppl are swayed by anti-trans messaging, they're going to vote 4 the party that indulges it wholeheartedly.

Should Democrats React To Anti-Trans Smear Campaigns Bravely, Or Like A Bunch Of Chickensh*ts?
Boy that’s a puzzler.

Huge protest happening tonight in NYC outside of the hospital where ICE brought the man they shot. New Yorkers are demanding ICE off their streets and are putting up a fight! You fucked with the wrong city... to all "resisters" we thank you. Stay safe.

In terms of consequences, the changes would have two effects. First, they would eliminate existing demographic data that we use for things like estimating racial inequality. That is by design, of course. Second, it would make the Census less accurate by discouraging non-citizens from participating.

Every time they talk about having a bigger tent, it feels more like they're taking the same size of tent and just moving the center pole to the right. They think that will put more new people into the tent than they lose on the left, and they're always wrong, but they believe it anyway.

"Bored?" Jesus Christ. I, too, want to see Talerico beat Paxton, but can also see that trans people are terrified about what's happening across the country and wanting/hoping that elected Dems won't sign onto right-wing framing of the issue. Language matters a lot.

Don't let the bigots set the agenda for the nation. Don't try to meet them halfway, or justify your stance. Don't dignify this as something worth debating. Dismiss them as hateful weirdos whose obsession with this issue automatically disqualifies them from polite company and political leadership.

Jon Husted’s staffer took part in “Nazi military exercises” & had a “Tales from Rhodesia” Spotify playlist. The fact that significant swathes of the media ignore the multiple major Republican campaign staffers outed as Neo-Nazis (to focus on Hasan Piker instead) is journalistic malpractice.

So much this. Conceding part of their argument and framing doesn’t win over people who want transphobia and depresses those who favor equality and inclusion. Plus they’re going to paint you as pro-trans anyway! Own it!

It's weird when the context is recreational youth sports vs. professional. Olympics and other sports bodies have crafted trans-inclusive guidelines that weigh a number of factors vs. banning. With kids sports, just let them play. It's good for trans kids and their teammates!

Senate candidates and surrogates are fair game. But the calling is to leave news consumers broadly informed. The question "which party and candidate has the most hateful surrogates?" has a correct answer. Now a lot of people believe the opposite of the truth. www.offmessage.net/p/media-fail...

And a silent majority stayed at home. This was the failure of the Germans at the last free election before the Nazi time. They thought, we are not involved, nothing will hurt us. Ok. This was not so, no one was spared.
