“[Republicans] have always been a party that believes that some people are deserving of rights and dignity and other people are not” @brandonwolf.bsky.social breaks down why we’re seeing support for gay marriage and other LGBTQ+ issues drop, especially among Republican voters.

So a FL man, who rioted at the US Capitol on January 6 and was put back on the street by Donald Trump, went on to molest multiple middle schoolers. He tried to bribe those children into silence by offering them a cut of his piece of Trump’s eventual taxpayer-fueled slush fund.

⚖️🏳️‍⚧️Florida's obsession with attacking transgender people just got called out in court. A federal judge handed AG Uthmeier another L – and blocked Florida's attempt to punish the American Academy of Pediatrics for supporting evidence-based healthcare for transgender youth.

Joining the show today!

"I want Ron DeSantis to know…that try as he might to silence us, to snuff out our joy, our pride, to crush us under the weight of authoritarianism, we're still in Florida. We're still here. We're still queer. It's still our state, too. And there's nothing he can do about that.”

Some ✨news✨ More to come, but our announcement sums it up: “I hear the whispers: ‘is Florida beyond repair? Is there still hope?’...There is no more powerful answer to those whispers than the contagious courage, resilient joy, & defiant resolve of Floridians fighting every day for a better future."

Those who fear accountability try to crush dissent. But they underestimate who they’re up against.

You mean we could have had rat-proof trash bins the whole time? (Asking for me, a DC resident on the rat frontline)

Coordinated to coincide with No Kings Day, London is holding its largest-ever protest against the far-right. #NoKings

Thank you to those who’ve reached out about this. Here’s the hard truth: I don’t really know how to feel.

Outbox: Donald Trump really wants to make the so-called SAVE act happen but it's not going to happen

Texas has been run by Republicans for over 20 years and tonight is a total mess. Just mind blowingly bad. This is what they are trying to export around the country.

By the way…Florida just canceled HIV treatment coverage for 16,000 people citing a “$120million shortfall.” Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth got more than 2x that much money blown out of the sky (in the form of 3 fighter jets) on a Monday morning. The priorities are clear.

Florida just cut off access to HIV treatment for 16,000 people. And they’re not alone. It’s not just cruelty…it’s a deadly public health crisis in the making. Resources for those directly impacted at the end.

This summer is ten years. Ten years since my best friends became missing faces. Since groupchats became disconnected numbers. Since a man turned our night out for drinks into 49 funerals. Ten years and Florida politicians keep looking for new ways to inflict pain.

Trump randomly announces he wants to abolish health insurance companies like they aren't bankrolling his entire party.

TFW you made him king and he still doesn't love you

He sounds like he's boring himself, which is a talent.

About to join State of the People to talk about the state of OUR Union.

Trump lied? I’m stunned. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

This week, the Site Formerly Known as Twitter was ablaze with debate over polling data on transgender rights. I still have issues with the poll itself. But what leapt out to me from the back and forth was something bigger: can we persuade in a digital age? brandonjwolf.substack.com/p/persuasion...

While a wildfire threatens their state, Kansas Republicans rammed through a bill to let weirdos stalk your daughter's bathroom stall to try and collect an anti-trans bounty. Remind me again who is obsessed?

Thanks to all who joined us on last night’s community action call. Missed the program? Get caught up on what you can do TODAY to stand up for yourself, your neighbors, and your community in the face of attacks from ICE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8pQ...

If they’re too trigger happy to handle the streets of Minneapolis, why the hell are we sending them on an Olympic field trip? They should be asked for their papers and sent right back home.

Iran is one of 12 nations that still execute queer people. But that’s not stopping the Trump admin from deploying ICE to endanger our community’s lives. It’s the same terror that murdered Renee, imprisoned Andry, and continues to force LGBTQ+ people to live in fear. Do not let this go unnoticed.

“Community is their kryptonite” - @brandonwolf.bsky.social @indivisible.org @hrc.org

Today, we get to host a retirement ceremony, presided over by General McChrystal, for 5 transgender servicemembers — whose total service eclipses 100 years and whose careers are being ended by Donald Trump. Simply because of who they are. @hrc.org

Jumping on Sirius shortly!

HUGE. Dems flip the Miami mayor’s office for the first time in 28 years. And elect Miami’s first woman mayor.

How do you go into the machine and not know what part of your body is in the machine?? That's it -- release the MRI results.

listen to me wherever you get your podcasts

Will join @joyannreid.bsky.social in about an hour to talk marriage equality! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDN...

Kim Davis just keeps losing. Cert denied. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Winsome Earle-Sears dumped millions of dollars into anti-trans ads, refused to say anything useful for Virginians, and got waxed. If what you took away from 2024 was that there's a magic transphobia switch you can flip to win -- you deserve to get waxed.

If we really had a political media industry that was fair and balanced - then we'd have a deep discussion about how anti-trans bigotry from the Republicans/MAGA doesn't work when the data points against their leaders' incompetence is overwhelming. BTW cc: take note @governor.ca.gov ↘️

Lmaooo AOC v Riley Gaines is my fav genre

If “no kings” sounds radical to you, you might be the problem.

TONIGHT! I’m back at my alma mater to talk equality.

I need to ask you a favor. @translash.org is up for 5 @signalawards.bsky.social and we need your vote TODAY in order to win. Visit www.signalaward.com. October 9 is the final day to vote.

“War ravaged” and it’s just a guy in a chicken suit.

I’m coming home!! I’ll be in Eugene next week for a powerful conversation with University of Oregon (Sco Ducks) Political Science Department Head Professor Alison Gash and Chief Judge Michael McShane who, 11 years ago, struck down Oregon’s ban on same sex marriage.

Minnesota is such a breath of fresh air — powered by amazing leaders. Great to be with you all this week 🤍

Big thank you to @brandonwolf.bsky.social and everyone who came out to support the DFL and our LGBTQ+ community here in Minnesota! 🏳️‍🌈🏳

Meanwhile, every right wing talking head is in a never-ending race to see who can scapegoat trans people the fastest.

In the rush to be first, mainstream media has been false. America deserves only the facts and accurate reporting from its journalists.

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth. Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger. Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

100%. Running with this unconfirmed reporting was outrageously reckless.
