This guy is good at social media trolling, but HORRIBLE about protecting the vulnerable. PLEASE find someone better to be the Dem nominee in 2028. There are much better folks to choose from, and many queer people won't vote for this guy even though queer folks make up a very loyal Dem voting bloc.

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

As a reminder for PA voters, vote Yes to retain all three PA Supreme Court justices. Billionaires are flooding the zone saying we need term limits for judges, but their term limits are literally what we're voting on! Don't be duped!

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.

Words that now fill me with instant agita and dread as soon as I read them: "In a 6 to 3 decision..."

What in the actual fuck is going on right now? What have we become, and worse, where the fuck are we heading??

The list of Dems voting to ban trans rights: Cuellar - Texas Davis - North Carolina Gillen - New York Golden - Maine Gonzalez, V. - Texas Gottheimer - New Jersey Gray - California Horsford - Nevada Kaptur - Ohio Lee - Nevada McClain Delaney - Maryland McDonald Rivet - Michigan Mrvan - Indiana ...🧵

When I say Dems are voting to ban trans rights, I mean they are voting to ban ALL trans rights. Included in the military funding bill are these provisions impacting trans people in the military: - A bathroom ban - A ban on correct gender markers on forms - A healthcare ban - A sports ban

hi, cis folks! this is present day reality for UK trans folks. it’s outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love. hi, cis americans! this is a future trans americans see that starts with “we need to compromise.”

Presented without comment:

Being trans has nothing to do with "ideology."

Yes, I agree with all the liberals jacked right now about Newsom. He is showing other Dems how to fight Trump, which is priceless But... ...cozying up to AI billionaires, a flop on homelessness, his transgender betrayal, he's still a loser for '28 My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every single word of this brilliant post. Dems yell about "purity testing" Newsom, but if Option A is trans people are destroyed and Option B is trans people are destroyed only slower and more insidiously, do trans folks even have a choice?? It's not a purity test; it's our fucking survival.

Scott Franzke on the #Phillies radio broadcast just said that Kyle Schwarber has hit a home run in 15 consecutive series. 🤯

For those saying we're "purity testing" Dems like Newsom on trans issues... What going on in the UK, where trans people are being pushed out of everyday life because the "left" party abandoned them, is a mirror of what can happen here. This isn't a "purity test" for us; it's our fucking survival.

TRANS HEALTHCARE TROLLEY PROBLEM A runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

Holy shit was the end of that Phillies game fun!! #RingTheBell

a lot of rank and file dems do not seem to understand that trans people are in an existential battle for our right to be part of society right now. the government today is trying to use employment law and federal extortion to ban us from bathrooms.

Criticizism is NOT cancellation. Read that again.

Newsom: "I haven't dove too deeply into it." THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT AND LET FAMILIES AND DOCTORS DECIDE WHAT'S BEST! He's such a disingenuous shit. He's "against discrimination" but somehow still unsure if trans kids should get the widely recommended healthcare they need.

Two striking DC33 workers, one of whom is pregnant, were the victims of a hit-and-run last week when a drunk driver drove into their picket line. Tyree Ford, a sanitation worker and father of four, sustained serious injuries and is still in critical condition. www.gofundme.com/f/tyree-ford...

I'm excited about Philadelphia getting a #WNBA team, but that now means there are two teams in town that Josh Harris desperately needs to sell. Please don't let this ownership group ruin another one of our sports teams!

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it. A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn. Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I've been on hormones for 20 years. It's made my life magnitudes better and I never regretted it for a second. In fact, when I had to stop hormones before some medical procedures (like surgery), I was MISERABLE and felt absolutely HORRIBLE. 1/3 🧵

This is the kind of company #Meta is... I turned off all my ad preferences and ad tracking on their sites and don't interact with any ads, and now all I see are ads for guns, holsters, and bigoted preachers. I really have to break away from their shithole apps.

Most media is against trans people. It's hateful, harmful, and frustrating. The linked article is well worth a read.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!

Do not travel to the UK. It is not safe for LGBTQIA + and gender non conforming people. Pass it on! #BoycottBritain

Anti-trans people asking "what rights don't trans people have?" is identical to the argument that gay people have always had the right to marry (just not each other). "Wheelchair users have the right to access that building just like anyone else" - if they make it up the stairs!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
