Demanding people surrender their drivers licenses because the state decided to discriminate against them as a class, and threatening jail time if they're caught driving without a legitimate license—because the state revoked them discriminatorily—is a wholly unjustified, cruel, bigoted action. Thread

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

This regime loves contributing to the genocide of trans people This is why we must defend our neighbors, we cannot let this regime continue to attack our most vulnerable communities. Those of us who are able must speak up against these injustices

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

It's time for blue states to start issuing licenses to non-state residents.

The authoritarian abuses could’ve been popular. We could’ve had smarter fascists, tossing out economic benefits while consolidating power. But the public doesn’t like it, in large part Trump’s own making. Presidential expert @juliaazari.bsky.social breaks down polls with @gregsargent.bsky.social.

Wouldn't have happened if establishment Dems didn't choose to back a candidate who is 78 years old and one of the least popular governors in the country

California sued Rady's Children Hospital for stopping care and a judge ordered them to resume. It's not hard, state AG's can stop this, they just need to act. voiceofsandiego.org/2026/02/11/r...

In a blatant violation of NY state and NYC law, NYU Langone has shut down its youth gender clinic and caused a potential forced detransition to its patients. Where is the NY AG and Mayor Mamdani? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/n...

I say this without a hint of irony or sarcasm: conservatives should not be permitted to participate in politics.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions. They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

Gee, I wonder why public opinion shifted so strongly against trans people! It must be because trannies were mean to me online. They should smile more.

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others." But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center. But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

What the heck is “Western civilization” anyway? Because the loudest self-proclaimed advocates disdain most Western philosophy, art, culture, institutions, and people. The only parts of Western civilization they seem to actually like are gothic architecture, ancient statues, and Camp of the Saints.

I am once again giving the libs plenty of notice that trans rights and abolishing ice are non negotiable and you nominate any candidate who disagrees at your own peril. getting mad and calling me names has exactly zero (0) effect on this.

Matty is astoundingly ignorant of political science. Most people don't change their mind on policies because they were convinced by a rational argument. They change their mind because their tribal leaders hand them their new positions.

See? More of this, please

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

keep it shut down until 2029

It’s 2026 right? Why are people posting about who I have to vote for in 2028 or else

This is so spot on

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

When China eliminates measles, it's going to be a truth nuke.

its just so goddam frustrating living in a time where morons get to pretend theyre smart by asking “questions you arent allowed to ask” that actually have been asked and answered a million times. we are fighting battles that were settled generations ago. infuriating

why is “great replacement” taboo? other than being bull shit, its because it leads to concentration camps being built

why is it taboo to ask about vaccine effectiveness? first bc we already know the answer, second bc there are morons who will buy into your bull shit and trigger a measles outbreak

we are seeing in real time why there are some questions “you arent allowed to ask”

The Republic is collapsing, alliances are dead, and masked armed agents are disappearing and murdering people but hey, at least they stopped the trans people from getting healthcare. Enjoy the autocracy!

Good. More dumb rednecks need to realize that they are, in fact, dumb rednecks, and stop participating in politics. It is their civic duty to *not* vote.

This is my ideology.

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

tell me again which side is stuck in a bubble

in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences

starting to think trans issues aren't supposed to be a distraction

No one in this entire incompetent regime has even googled the phrase "Streisand effect."

if they're making an example out of a liberal as milquetoast as don lemon u should prob think more about what's necessary

The baby boomers are the most coddled, selfish generation of all time. Every aspect of our society exists to serve their interests, whims and prejudices at the expense of everyone else. And they still demand more.

Finish. Reconstruction.

The 50501 Movement is mobilizing for the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action on January 31st. We are also organizing the No Housing for ICE boycott, the #dontserveice movement, and the Primary Pro-ICE Dems campaign.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

the legacy of centrist democrats is that they killed medicare for all, let nazis rise to power, and bitched abiut eggs while the gestapo started the new holocaust
