What the fuck

One small piece of good news for trans people: the Trump administration seems to be backing off its threatening language about invalidating X marker passports following a New York Times story.

Today’s the first day he won’t eat at all, even pieces of hot dog. I think we’re just about out of time with our little man 😭💔

Kinda wild that the high water mark of the MAGA movement might turn out to be getting Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air for roughly one business day

The Democratic Party is far from perfect, but they are the coalition that has invited us in. To lose what we have won inside the Democratic Party would be catastrophic . I am a democrat and I will never stop fighting for trans liberation both in this country and in our party.

Actual groomers are running the government and suddenly she doesn’t have anything to say

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3 DESPERATELY needs a storyline to carry the show other than “Jesse maybe kissed a guy on a reality show a year ago,” they’re missing all the most compelling cast members and it’s sagging

I’ve been really struggling with anticipatory grief all week. Meanwhile today my little guy just seemed happy that both his people are giving him so many tummy rubs and hand feeding him turkey. There’s a lesson there, but it’s so hard knowing whats coming.

Our dog was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer on Monday. There’s not much we can do besides keep him comfortable, so I’ve been letting him go wherever he wants on walks this week. Tonight he led us straight to his vet’s office.

I was in college when Sarah McBride posted her coming-out essay in HuffPost. I was closeted and could barely imagine living openly. She gave me the courage to try. Standing beside the first trans Member of Congress on the House floor was surreal. It really does get better.

One of my biggest beefs is when people belittle Representation as unimportant. Do you have any fucking idea how much less terrible my mental health might have been if there was a ton of positive representation of homosexuality in the media????

This is the first month of Trump II that feels like his first term

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

*wokely* “only white dudes should hold public office”

Kind of wild that the conventional approach to treating a cold is to take a dissociative hallucinogen that is also an SNRI and you buy it at the grocery store

Anecdotally it feels like Elon cranked the anti trans hate even higher on Twitter after election night

Really intense movie but one weird thing about it is that their casualty estimates were exaggerated by a factor of ten

Rainy night at home and I’m watching House of Dynamite 😳

it's weird that the government requires gender identification on passports at all, and wilder for them to claim to know what it should be better than the passport-holder! this is so purely punitive

1. The Supreme Court just let Trump’s order banning trans people from updating the sex marker on their passports go into effect. If you were planning to change yours, that window is likely closed until at least 2029.

Today in "trans women really are women"

Fuck.

Presidential Walk of Shame

Truly the most shameless grifter in politics today

Every “it’s so over” contains the seeds of “we’re so back” if you really think about it

Transphobia only ever worked because it gave child brains in adult bodies someone to abuse for no reason. But bullies get bored when they do it for amusement. It’s like a video game they get tired of playing. This is how it goes when you build on nothing but childishness.

Right-wing media told Republicans anti-trans politics would deliver a winning coalition. 2025 races show they misunderstood why the message ever worked.

now’s a good time for Lisa Murkowski to do the funniest thing imaginable

This will never happen, but I want to see a hundred thinkpieces about how Republicans must moderate on trans issues to avoid alienating voters

Fox News airing a clip attacking Republicans for withholding SNAP during the shutdown...we're reaching critical levels of "it's so over"

Mike Johnson is living in his own little world

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

Elections are pretty neat!

THE MAJORITY of money spent by Winsome Earle-Sears and outside groups in Virginia went to anti-trans ads. The GOP needs a new playbook after tonight. Voters are tired of this song.

The voters have spoken. Democrats should not budge one inch on funding the government until the GOP plundering of our healthcare system has been reversed.

Cuomo’s concession speech is as poor sportsmanlike as his entire campaign. Bragging about outperforming his father’s failed mayoral run, justifying his vanity campaign, whining about the victor’s policy proposals. Into the dustbin of history he goes!

Terry Schilling

As an American Voter, I demand my trans!!!

Ari Drennen apology form

Bluesky might hate hearing this but both Spanberger and Sherrill talked about trans rights precisely as Sarah McBride said they should And they both preserved their policies while just changing their rhetoric And now are trouncing Republicans 🤷🏻‍♀️

THE AMERICAN VOTER DEMANDS TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYBODY!

70% of Republican ad spending in this race was on trans issues. They put everything they had into scaring Virginians into voting against Spanberger. They failed.

One weird dynamic this election: GOP campaigns went all in on trans issues, but GOP pundits were more interested in declaring premature victory. Hard to get your voters to turn out for a culture war you're telling them they've already won.

The next Governor of Virginia! 🏳️‍⚧️

Oh, ok

Seth finally figured out what state he’s running in

Cuomo’s final pitch to voters:

You see what you look for in the world. If you expect transphobia everywhere, that’s what you’ll see, and it could easily drive you mad. But if you expect to see warmth and kindness, you’ll see warmth and kindness.
