Ezra Klein explains why he is against the “oppositional” approach of Dems. One example he gives is blatantly false: immigration. But more important: Klein shows how folks like him almost always casually throw vulnerable people under the bus in the name of “practicality.”

This flew under the radar with all the batshit stuff happening at HHS but this has major implications. This could be used to revoke the use authorization or at least severely restrict it and as a result, severely restrict abortion nationally. abcnews.go.com/US/health-se...

I wrote about Trump's new executive orders targeting "antifa" and how they are paper tigers that rely on preemptive compliance in order to achieve their goals. www.thedissident.news/trumps-paper...

oh my god complete vindication. he banned me over facts!

Texas is limiting the discussion regarding transgender people in 5 universities. It is now banned to acknowledge trans people exist in the classroom. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/26/t...

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

So that’s how Musk knows Trump is in the files.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Am I the only one who thinks that antisemites are really… weird? Like, all bigoted people are awful, but antisemites in particular have some of the strangest beliefs

This is a real movie.

GCs coping and seething and I live for it!

Netanyahu should be arrested and sent to the Hague, not allowed to speak before the UN. He's a mass murderer guilty of genocide.

1. Great news for trans students in Chicago. Chicago Public Schools has announced it will defy Trump's demand to ban trans youth from bathrooms. Trump will now pull millions in federal funds. "Our district will not back away from doing what we know is right." Subscribe to support our journalism.

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

A bad journalist misrepresenting data to push his own agenda? No way! @alyssaur.bsky.social looks at Jesse Singal and his piece in The Economist for this week's TWIBS.

The Liberals should be protecting good jobs and strengthening our public services. Instead they’re allowing Canada Post to cut services, fire Canadians and make it harder to get your mail. globalnews.ca/news/1145024...

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

If in Harrisburg, October 26, join the Pennsylvania Coalition of LGBTQ+ organizations for a march and rally at the Capitol beginning at 1 PM.

@mavenofmayhem.bsky.social "We can agree to disagree on trans issues." No, we really can't. Because disagreeing with the validity of someone's identity— and the rights and services they deserve or don't deserve because of it -- is discrimination, not disagreement.

IYKYK

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

This is the guy Pete Buttigieg endorsed last week

uncritical support for rock bands that tour with violinists

Dems abandoning trans folks has now allowed for a million dollar ad buy for this disgusting ad by American Principles Project in NJ and VA casting trans people as school shooters and violent threats to children. It was never about fucking sports.

He died doing what he loved. Being transphobic.

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

There's this one which is almost at half a million. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

The Creationists are so close to getting it...

It's always blame the Jews first with dictators.

I don't usually harbor ill will toward natural things, but I will never forgive that tree for not doing us all a solid and ridding the world of this murderous human-trafficking fascist when it had the chance.

Tony finally did it - can he retire now? Just know there will be a massive political fight over how these record "sex".

Pleased to say that Morrison Foerster, the firm we sued for discriminating against a young trans man, has agreed to pay all the damages we sought and all our costs. The damages will be donated to four organizations supporting parts of the trans community. goodlawproject.org/law-firm-tha...

I like what Andy Burnam has done for Manchester. But Labour lost me the minute they started persecuting trans people and chasing far right voters with anti immigrant rhetoric. Changing the leader isn't going to make the party any more attractive as long as right wing ideals are being pushed.

Good piece by Erin Reed on the weaponization of Kirk shooting in order to demonize trans people and justify additional govt crack-down & discrimination. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

I think like @kattenbarge.bsky.social said on CMD, i too really expected the coverage of this murder to be bad and have really like, insulated myself from a lot of the worst, through the years ... however much these last weeks have also been very depressing and hard for me—as a trans person/in media

Hilarious that Rowling basically said fuck off in response. The eternal relationship of the liberal to the fascist.

still relevant. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/maybe-the-...

It’s almost as though when Republicans start to lose, they have to blame transgender people for something to distract from that. www.advocate.com/politics/gle...

Make sure you contact your senators here - Democrats control whether or not a budget with anti-trans provisions passes. There are many that would devastate the trans community. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

When Rupert Grint used the quite reasonable analogy of an older relative with whom you disagree, Helen Joyce and Maya Forstater chose to sexualize his comment in ways that were weird and gross - and entirely in keeping with their own sick obsessions.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Would that be the same Richard Dawkins who described that raping a woman you know was a lesser crime than the same crime against a stranger? Because he definitely sounds like someone we should listen to about threats to women. www.bbc.com/news/blogs-t...

YES! Chris is a fantastic councillor and advocate for her community. It's a thoroughly deserved award, and good to see HQ having no truck with any nonsense about it. Well done, Chris!

We, the Liberal Democrats only official women's group, wholeheartedly stand by the amazing Woman that Cllr Chris Northwood is. She is an inspiration to many within the party with her dedication to the party and her constituents. She is a very deserving winner.
