@schumer.senate.gov If you don't have the courage to address questions about a NYC mayoral election, then you don't have the courage to fight Trump.

This is why Schumer needs to go, @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

Get rid of him or you go too.

Any one of the like 50 nonnas who make food for the internet to watch

Sometimes on the internet I think stories like this are fake, but as a former deli worker I *know* this one is real lol

The Right Wants to Exterminate Trans People. Liberals Are Helping. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative movement has accelerated its war against trans people. And too many centrist Democrats have kept up their trans bashing.

Democrats seem to believe that they can turn a big dial that says "transphobia" up and down with no consequences. But all they're doing is bolstering a fascist drive to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. It's disgusting and shameful and it needs to end www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Yes. This. Cishet dudes: it’s so important that you be vocal about your support for trans people. Say it online, say it to your coworkers, say it to your gym buddies, say it to your family & friends. No one can read your mind & chances are good they assume you’re a transphobe, tbh.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day

We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

What kind of Kool aid do you have to drink to think that the government can't ever take away people's freedom?

Cis people:

This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand.

And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

I'm keeping this thread in my purse to show to ppl the next time I'm in a group of cis straight liberals (it could happen!)

Like bad as in the technical skill of the artist isn't up to the task of the art (not just low tech skill)? Or bad as in unoriginal, boring, reductive, etc? I think there's value in both, but it's different discussions imo. I generally don't enjoy the 1st, but do enjoy some of the 2nd.

Slightly diminish a band: Martin Way

(The other option was Pacific Avenue)

Slightly diminish a band: Peavey O)))

Slightly diminish a band: Manslaughterer

Lol I didn't see this before I posted the same thing

Jefferson Starship

Cuban, but you have to bevel the leading edge

Bang on, and also *because* people don't have strong opinions or deep understanding about trans issues, there is a wide opening to bring them along. The other option is to let fascists control the whole conversation, sooo...

Hey guess what?

Oh ok I see, when it's people's rights the Supreme Court says, gosh that's the job of Congress and Congress didn't specifically list that class of people; so when it's congressionally mandated functions of government, they say the same thing. Right? RIGHT?

Sigh.

It varies, for example, the Ford factory in Dearborn is constructed with 80:20 brick dust to cheese. I'm not sure the ratio for pizza though

Look I was trying to help the nice guard, it's not my fault he got in the way of my sword!

More head (really!)

It's worse, when I think of steak, I think of that scene. When I cook a steak, that is the steak I am trying to make. for the last 26 years

Hey has anyone heard the new Staind album? The new Linkin Park single? The new Godsmack? The new Chevelle?

*whispering from off camera*

What do you mean it's not 2003?!

Why were you tasting tape?

Sarah McBride is an establishment Democrat (derogatory)

Garbage like the NYT article refuted here will lead mainstream Democrats to abandon human rights and vote for anti-trans legislation, sooner than later.

If you thought that article yesterday had a point, you owe it to yourself, all trans people, and to me specifically to also read this one.

Politicians Are Supposed to Lead, Not Just Follow Polls Rep. Sarah McBride's advice to Democrats on trans rights would have killed the Civil Rights Act.

The word "poll" appears 27 times in the NYT interview @mcbride.house.gov did. www.readtpa.com/p/politician...

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.

A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.

Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.
