sorry but there is no circumstance where I or almost anyone i know will vote for Newsom in the primary or the general. If you, dear reader, think the party can win without our votes? have fun. If not, you know what's coming, prepare accordingly.

comic strip. two men are discussing. one says: you know what scares me? parents allowing their child to be trans. that's child abuse! the other replies : omg! let kids be kids. the first says : exactly! but the second continues : in this case, it means to let trans kids transition so they get to enjoy their childhood instead of feeling broken and unloved because of who they are. not allowing a trans kid to transition won't make them less trans, just miserable and distressed. that's child abuse.

Let kids be kids.

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.

This is a fact.

No one will ever be able to refute it."

This is why I prefer to mock bigots because their ideas should be treated as so fucking stupid no one should accept them seriously.

Little Marco was named the "worst senator in US history" because he never showed up and never voted on bills. When he was forced to do his job, he threw tantrums about having to actually do something other than stay home to play video games. Now Trump has him doing everything. He deserves this pain.

To be a leftist, you must be anti-fascist. This is not gatekeeping, it is a matter of material politics.

A Red-Brown alliance is impossible because the moment you ally yourself with fascism, you also become a fascist.

Fascism as an ideology devours, dominates, & steals because it cannot create.

I assure you that most leftist groups can't stand these people. They have been a problem for a while.

these stupid fucks are gonna elect gavin newsome and go "alright cool, the concentration camps are overflow facilities again" and shit will keep getting Worse

Also, trans people warned you about her. It always starts with attacking trans people.

This is the U.S.A. under Bush W., Obama, Trump, and Biden.

it is summer of 2031. you've just posted "abolish ice" because a (now unmasked) squad of gestapo goons executed a few people in the streets of somewhere for trying to protect innocent people from being kidnapped. Libs are lighting you up in the qts for "hurting president gavin's reelection campaign"

"nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it"

Or worse, liberals trust legacy media. Which, obviously, turns them into fascists.

Gavin Newsom Sucks

It’s theoretically possible there are conservative / right-wing people who aren’t pedophiles…but i’d have thought one would have made themselves known by now.

All the right-wing politicians and voters are vocally anti-LGBT to distract from being pro-pedophile. It’s all they do, every single one.

At this rate making a list of Republican politicians who aren't pedophiles would be faster

No joke, if you didn't already know, Florida paves their roads with radioactive waste.
I'm completely serious. China almost started doing it but wanted a comprehensive health and environmental impact report first. Florida made sure they didn't research first, and just put radioactive waste in roads.

I know, I know, allow people to change etc but saying “before I got thrown in a concentration camp I just assumed all the people being thrown in concentration camps deserved it” is CRAZY

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: ​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. ​An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. ​An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. ​An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.

This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.

This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

trans women are my sisters, trans men my brothers. their struggle is my struggle. their freedom is my freedom.

There's this whole ecosystem of RESIST grift accounts masquerading as sources of legitimate news. @altwatcher.bsky.social does a great job tracking these kinds of accounts.

It is 1981. Transition care is "new and experimental".

It is 2019. Transition care is "new and experimental."

It is 2026. Transition care is "new and experimental."

This asshole: "The people that I want to oppress and murder are mad at me. I told you they were awful."
