I want to claw my face off every time someone says we're being too loud or overreacting when we're already banned from entire sectors of the workforce and a half dozen major universities and it's getting worse every day.

Under Biden, yes. Biden’s DOJ used Bostock to argue that Title IX protected trans people, as sex discrimination is inherent to anti-trans discrimination. Biden implemented a bunch of protections but they were administration-dependent

In the United States, there are religious colleges who teach that homosexuality is wrong and students who become pregnant can be run off campus. Those schools get federal funds. This is somehow protected from regulation, but secular private institutions can’t treat trans students like human beings.

• Wagner will issue a public statement to the college community stating that it will comply with Title IX, specifying that Title IX forbids Wagner from allowing male students to compete in female athletic programs and from occupying female intimate facilities;

Most people can’t quite grasp how it feels to read this, but imagine if the federal government commanded every agency to form task forces charged with finding new ways to humiliate you. Then imagine every institution in your life not only folds but starts participating.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

The Washington Post just published the names of more than 18,500 children in Gaza killed by Israel.

What are these screenshots from? Thank you!

A lot of powerful testimony was given today in Texas drawing attention to the dangers of ignoring the lessons of history.

We have to pay attention to the fact that these policies targeting trans people are only getting more and more intense. The ball is rolling down the hill and we need to be sounding every alarm possible.

No way I’m letting someone like this steal all my microplastics

Who are you talking to?

Given the polling, the entire Democratic base is rightly demanding candidates far more moral and correct than currently on offer, and candidates with those characteristics will consequently be more competitive. The conflict between morality and victory is a fiction spun by the amoral

Not sure. Sort of fascinating though. I’ve also noticed no one is saying “I disagree with what he said but…”

People are somehow arguing that we need to shift our policies to the right to scrape for every vote from the middle, without acknowledging how homophobic the middle is. I’m arguing we should stop aiming for the middle. It’s the left that the Dems actually lost.

Honest question for all the people jumping in to say what matters is “winning” — an increasingly abstract idea as the Democrats mostly nap through this administration: why is it that you think the people who want to overturn Obergefell will vote for Pete? Are we talking about the same electorate?

Newsom also got dinged for being an asshole, which I agree is pertinent. His policies regarding unhoused people have been really bad, and having Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon as guests shows he’s on the Elon trajectory.

Who are my options? The election is in 3+ years. I voted for Harris, I’m not actually historically that picky. I don’t have any illusions that we ever get to vote for people we actually like. I haven’t had the chance to vote for someone I actually like since 2012.

I was speaking in reference to multiple times where he’s started conceding ground on trans kids in sports. Honestly I don’t even care if he takes a stand. He can give the non-answer Harris gave. I’m not asking for much. But conceding ground sucks.

It’s not a purity test to say if he can’t handle a softball interview about sports he’ll absolutely get clobbered in an election. And he’s not getting canceled? What does that word even mean to you? Criticize?

Lmao, no I’m not genz. my moisturizer regimen is clearly killing it though based on all the responses about my age

how old do you think I am? also thanks?

The whole Dem establishment holding up Buttigieg as an authority on winning voters in a hypothetical election by throwing minorities under the bus seems to be forgetting how he actually did with real voters in a real election.

i'm not voting for any candidate that won't full throatedly support trans kids playing whatever fucking sport they want to.

I'm so irritated with these focus group tested answers about a subject that liberals and Democrats are literally being brainwashed into thinking is a critical issue.

The DeSantis war on drag never stopped, but now it can bank on a sympathetic Supreme Court and federal government to back it up. In 2023 it was revealed DeSantis was sending undercover police to investigate drag shows, now they’re demanding clubs do it for them.

This is unfortunate:

I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

Where did you get this idea that we don’t have money? Who sold you this idea? Who convinced you that we need to “cut waste” more than we need jobs? The point of a country isn’t to be efficient, the point is to be a place for people to live.

We spend such an astronomical amount of money on policing and military that our expenditures exist on an entirely different y-axis from other countries. Meanwhile we’re nickel and diming the elderly and the poor, while the president replaces jobs with AI at an incomprehensible ecological cost.

Real talk, have seen such a massive shift in the way we talk about economics that people are utterly convinced we need to start implementing the most insane austerity measures, but no inkling why or how they got this idea. Meanwhile, Trump spent upwards of $10M of taxpayer money golfing this week.

I also can’t believe people are falling for the idea that we can’t afford to hire people for administrative jobs. A single cruise missile costs $1M. We’re not out of money, we have stupid priorities as a country which is why no other country spends what we do

You lost us on “stop casting Pedro pascal” I didn’t even know you could put those words together in that order
