Trans people are being unconstitutionally persecuted, and OUR side is spreading around advice to ignore it! People ARE NOT a "distraction". They are standing up for YOU, and you are being encouraged to help the bigots win - and GOING ALONG WITH IT. Stop being so fucking stupid. Speak out.

The Fight Over Trans Rights Is About YOUR Rights, Not Just Theirs

Do you think Trump gives the slightest fuck about trans people? Don't be stupid.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

As Trump escalates his authoritarian law-breaking, it’s time for Congress to take a stand and protect immigrants.

I posted about this yesterday and there were no reactions to the post. I'm not a big account or anything but it still made me uneasy. It felt like no one understood the implications

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

I saw a report where someone analyzed it and then again using AI, and both came to the conclusion that it was scientifically impossible to get that wound and blood splatter from that gun. The blood didn't flow with gravity & it didn't darken or dry as it should have. And his ear shouldn't be intact.

No one who pardoned J/6 protesters that beat cops, etc. should ever be forgiven. This was treason and he’s doing worse today.

Bluesky liberals - heavily influenced by libertarians and right-wing Democrats - love to treat the economy as a distraction from Trump's attack on democracy.

Look how Mamdani ties them together. He gets it.
