So, afaik, defund the police was a slogan/call in the 2020 election. The election that Biden won, and the slogan was wholly rejected by him, with him authorizing more military sales to the police. afaik all Dem pundits in 2024 avoided it like it was a teenage trans girl's rights.

Democrats seem to believe that they can turn a big dial that says "transphobia" up and down with no consequences. But all they're doing is bolstering a fascist drive to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. It's disgusting and shameful and it needs to end www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I still can't believe that in a world where a Republican party and president is disingenuously attacking leftists and labelling trans people as terrorists that Kamala Harris drops a book and does a book tour calling Trump a communist and says she also has concerns about trans women.

The funny thing is the movement for evidence based medicine was in like 1991 but even now so much medicine is practiced outside of the parameters of it and no one raises an eyebrow.

And her comes Harris to blunt any progress away from fascism after meekly endorsing Mamdani

Well, I guess Schumer looks even dumber now, if that were possible.

What i'm sick of is queer orgs that suppose to support trans rights throwing all their weight behind candidates under the premise that they support trans people, only to find out they don't, at all, and the queer orgs should have been pressuring the candidates instead of campaigning for them.

As Trump and his goons strip Americans of our constitutional rights, the silence of the nation’s leadership class is deafening. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/america-without-a-leadership-class

good thing CNN spent the whole day covering the Charlie Kirk funeral/Nazi rally. Otherwise they could have covered real news like the fact that the president is mad at his AG for not prosecuting his political opponents

This is gonna be so cool once trans people are designated terrorists by Trump.

Collaborators with the fascist project.

Absolutely horrible. For her to say this now puts it on a whole different level from just her believing it before.

Klein isn't a collaborator. He's a saboteur.

Note here "because of leadership" Jeffries is completely rotten, but she still stabbed trans people in the back with this vote.

Aaaand it's done

She's so domestic

If we're designated as terrorists, will that affect our ability to get asylum in other countries?

This is the utter perversion of everything by fascism. Soldiers in the city to stop crime, but not this one. Giant "opposition" to political violence, except this kind.

love the perfect thrift store find

How long until we have liberals (directly) blaming leftists for turning the right into fascists by calling them Nazis?

Now seems like a good time for this one open.spotify.com/track/7BM16D...

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once. I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

Notice though how this never happened and we've still fallen all the way down the slope.

I don't think Ezra Klein is a fascist, I think he's a collaborator. He is desperately trying to maintain liberalism as it exists to prop up the oligarchs and prevent systemic reform. He's an apologist for a system embracing fascism. Rather than reevaluating his politics, he doubles down.

Why do these educated people who have been following Dem politics for their whole working life not see what is going on here. Democrats aren't putting money into piloting clubs and reaching voters because they care less about winning than they do about pleasing donors.

Hot(lukewarm) take: Dems knew exactly what they were doing at the time.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Silksong is a toxic Yuri problematic age gap romance.

things are about to get worse

this means he's willing to sacrifice trans people as the bipartisan agreement he's searching for.

It feels like it's time to flee the country, but I don't know how to do it with my medical needs and my kids and my life.

Violence is the only language Republicans understand

They want us dead. It doesn't matter the political leaning of Charlie Kirk. The Utah representative saying he was hoping it would be a foreigner demonstrates how they are just looking for the opportunity to persuade undecided bystanders to stand by for a travesty to be carried out.

did airbagged get banned?

"Bill Kristol quotes George Washington's condemnation of 18th century antisemitism to defend transgender people from scapegoating following the assassination of Charlie Kirk" is an actual sentence

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

Bill Kristol, once again putting up a stronger defense of trans people in this critical moment than literally any elected Democrat.

........again....

I think it's absolutely amazing that liberal organizations and outlets have spent more time scolding people for not properly mourning CK's passing than they have pointing out that the right as a whole is trying to spin a pogrom and civil war against people who had nothing to do with his murder.

You know, the funny thing about transmisogyny is that we get to take all the blame for everything and no one gets to defend us because that would prevent them from shifting different blame to us. You see this in the Republicans and Democrat strategy. Republicans blame ... pretty much everything

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

Look, I learned a new trick

Thinking about this, even taking him at face value, I think it says a lot about what he, and others, think about trans women. Demonizing and denigrating trans women was pretty much his vector to accomplish this "guerrilla"... whatever it was. It shows our vulnerability and disposability.

The delicious end to the affair. 48 hours of the most august and respectable institutions prostrating themselves over a low rent gutter bigot with a middling podcast and as soon as his death didnt fit the narrative Trump says "RIP to that man, check out my new drapes" humiliation after humiliation

first we weren't allowed to say anything mean about Charlie Kirk so the right wing didn't get mad and kill thousands of people and now we're not allowed to mention the fact that they threatened to kill thousands of people bc that would be impolite

I think the interesting thing about this is that there is a clear juxtaposition as to what happened on Weds. Shooters want attention and it clearly showed what gives more attention. I hope this will lead to fewer school shootings in the future.

And so now that it's confirmed it's a white conservative, Nancy Mace is gonna retract her statement about trans people right? lol

There's like music and stuff too
