How it feels right now

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

yup.

Jail is the compromise position and frankly I'm no longer willing to compromise

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

There are some people who claim "oh, Dems in blue states will never shift towards enacting anti-trans policy" Meanwhile Colorado is literally enacting a medical detransition protocol for trans youth on medicaid.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Got to say it's one thing when dems turn on trans people. Its another when they literally laugh at us while doing it.

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

Democratic-aligned group Progress Action Fund has released a PRO-trans ad, attacking Republicans for being creepy in bathrooms. It will run in Texas and Ohio, and is expected to reach millions. You have to see the ad itself. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A lot of things lining up right now. - Potential Dem wave election. - This ad going to close race states. - Vivek's ad against Acton defusing the "trans issues won this election" claim preemptively. - Talarico not supporting a trans sports ban - Polls showing anti-trans ads backfiring Good stuff.

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

A trio of new polls could spell disaster for the GOP in the 2026 midterms over their anti-trans ad obsession. Could we be looking at a wave election for democrats fueled, not suppressed, by Republican anti-trans ads? We examine the polls in our latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

theres this idea in the media that if netanyahu loses his election that israel is going to become acceptable to support again, as he is singularly the problem. but if you look into the election you find out every single opposition party is casting him as "too weak on palestine"

Trans rights or we all lose.

Trans rights are non-negotiable.

I appreciate Jake Bauers talking about how the need for health insurance affected his career choices. [The Fox Sports guys all laugh again.] But the story is a lot less funny for most Americans who must work in less sexy jobs than pro sports because it’s their only pathway to having insurance.

Just leave me here #berensart2026

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It feels like so many voters in 2024 made up a version of Trump in their own head that was completely separate from the actual man, and now they can't believe that the fake version they came up with isn't real.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Actors may not want to weigh in on politics but I assure you politics will be weighing in on the entertainment industry

Democrats will never learn.

they did the thing

It's very simple, actually.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

this is so fucking sad

Somebody finally did something useful: barricades. I was starting to think the day we took some actual action would never come

a whopping 3% of jewish israelis think its immoral to ethnically cleanse gaza but sure the problem is just netanyahu
