“Platner protects trans kids” is the kind of delusion you can only get to when you assume without evidence that mainstream Democrats are all secret transphobes and any white dude with working class aesthetics that upsets their apple cart must be for everything you’re for.

I wonder if he’s aware that for over a decade there have been enough quality plugins and sample libraries that a single individual could put together an album that passes as real in FL Studio in like, a day. Yet, no one stopped listening to music with real singers and instrumentalists.

This will unironically boost transphobia on the far left because, once they can no longer use the threat of transphobia to wrestle away trans people from the Democrats, trans people will officially become useless to them. You'll start seeing the DSA discuss trans voters like they do black voters.

A Biden era provision. There is one side that protects LGBTQ+ people and it’s Democrats, they must take control of government in Nov. or gay and trans rights will be rolled back until their mere existence is made illegal. Everyone saying “but both sides” right now is sanctioning this, period.

Primetime is an absolutely incredible film. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but it helps to think of it as a dark, digital reimagining of Moby Dick, a story about an obsessed crusade against evil manifest. Obviously Pattinson is amazing but the film is much more than an acting showcase.

It’s interesting to see the conversation around Democrats trans rights stance be framed like “Since this is a battle for civil rights, anything less than maximalist commitment to us on every issue is disqualifying”, when that is NOT the approach that the actual civil rights movement succeeded with.

Read this again when someone tells you that the democrats are gearing up to go transphobic or don’t fight for us.

Do they settle because it costs a lot of money to litigate? Because they're at risk of losing federal funding? What are the ways that the Justice Department is able to coerce these hospitals?
Rep. Grace Meng: I mean, all of the above, right? I'm the top Democrat on the Appropriations
subcommittee that oversees all the DOJ funding. And we have seen this as we've been negotiating our budgets with them. They tried to include over 50 anti-GBTQ riders, what we call poison pills, into the budget. And we, as House Democrats, were able to take them all out. But they wanted to insert 52 pieces of wording and legislation that would have restricted medically necessary health care for transgender people, basically allowing taxpayer-funded discrimination against same-sex couples, blocking any non-discriminatory and DEl-type efforts.
But they are persistent, so they try it through the budget process, and they can't do that. Obviously, they're trying to cheat by coercing these hospitals:

I think the most important and least discussed aspect of the Boston Globe Last Ditch bar story is not the mask mandates, it’s the fact that none of the regulars paid the cover charge or purchased alcohol. They were treating a for profit business as a free third space and it was killing the bar.

If we lose Maine the reckoning for the people who pushed Platner despite mountains of evidence he was garbage should be at least equal to the one mainstream Democrats experienced for losing in 2024. But there won’t be. Hasan will probably just laugh about it on his stream over phad thai or whatever.

I mean, people are uncharitable to Talarico critics because their core argument just isn’t true. He hasn’t abandoned trans people. He’s only slightly tweaked his messaging in response to the Republican media machine trying to make the entire campaign about Talarico transing your kids or whatever.

Lib Commoner @waterhurled.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Also, this framing by the author isn’t true. The narrative from trans people 2024 was “We have to lay down the fight for our rights to stand arm in arm with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom!”. Now it’s “you ALWAYS ask us to lay down the fight for our rights, well NO MORE!”, ridiculous.

Nothing is gained by being half on the bus. There’s no point writing articles saying “I’m voting Democrat and so should you, but I’m still going to grumble publicly about all the reasons why I don’t feel great about it!”.

Lib Commoner @waterhurled.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

What is your point? A mealymouthed pseudo-endorsement of Talarico that is concessionary to the dishonest framing used by his critics won’t change anyone’s mind. It’ll inevitably be seen as more evidence that Talarico is bad and needs to lose, which is of course exactly what is happening.

I mean the thing I object to is this commentator claiming that "Talarico folded on trans rights," when he in fact did not change his position in any way that's actively spreading a meme that is going to hurt us at the polls, and she should have debunked it instead

I would also like to remind everyone that in 2020, while 90% of the field were chasing each other into more niche and extreme views, coupled with lots of "Barack Obama failed to handle X" lingo, the winner was the one who ran on "I am a normal Democrat who loves Obama." And he won in a runaway.
