I would not at all be surprised if Schumer and Jefferies completely sell out the Trans community to avoid a government shutdown that most of the Democratic base says *should* be the course we take.

It needed to be scored.

So, this is clearly a scam right. We're all on the same page with this one.

Yeah, they did similar with my passport months ago. I've decided this isn't a fight worth having for me right now, not with things the way they are, and rather be on fewer potential "lists" if possible

I’ve tried for years to educate, handhold & be kind - but I’ve been repeatedly framed a villian. I try so hard to be kind, but I’m at a fucking point where if you arent fucking out here speaking up for trans people as we’re about to be labeled terrorists by the FBI, I’m don’t have time for you.

The damning part is, this makes it clear she ignored us and our issues entirely, even the sporting oversight boards could have supplied this information.

This was a main plank Republicans ran on, she knew she was going to face this in the arena, and she didn't prepare AT ALL

I’m reading a book about the history of conversion therapy in 20th Century 🇬🇧 and it’s striking how much the NHS had exactly the same institutional issues back then as they have in trans healthcare right now. Everyone blamed everyone else, complaints went nowhere, and politicians ignored it

With No Kings Day set in October I woke up wondering to myself, when the 3rd one is organized, now that it's proven that it CAN be organized. It should be a General Strike. I don't know how feasible that actually is but, the 3rd one whenever it's planned, a nationwide walkout.

DNC leadership has been paving the way for another loss after the 2024 election, and they're setting up to do it again.

Completely forsaking their own base for the non-existent "Middle" voter that will never vote for Coke-Zero over the real thing.

Maybe this failed strategy will work this time

I need to visit Bsky more often, this is the kind of biting sarcasm that's appropriate to these situations.

He's going to continue to fund this war machine on the American people.

When even Ezra Klein is saying "Shut it down" then it's clearly time to actually play the one card that Democrats have to play.

But I guarantee, come 13th hour, he'll cave and sign whatever they put in front of him.

We're regressing so fast.

It's the 1950's playing itself out again, complete with impending McCarthyism.

The bigots and racists are emboldened and being told their actions will be state sanctioned.

Schumer is so weak.

The message from Democratic leadership over the last week has become clear "Good luck, you're all on your own"

At best they're useless, at worst they're co-conspirators

Democratic leadership has been pathetically absent.

The signal they're sending is clear "Good luck, you're on your own"

Noticeably absent the actual names of those people putting up "millions and millions of dollars for agitation"

More "they" *wink wink* vagueness

That's been clear, they've been beating this "Civil War" drum for a decade, and a lot of jiggly mayo on TikTok are posting cringe worthy "He only wanted to talk, now there's no more talk, get ready liberal" stuff on there, but, is it actually taking root?

Is there any genuine *movement* at work
