A Republican congressman committed statutory rape, the Republican President-elect tried to make him Attorney General of the United States of America, and the Republican Congress tried to cover up the crime.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.
Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Connect with others. You might contact your county elections board, see abt being a poll worker or election judge for the day.
Go to county D party mtg (usually monthly) & they will have sign up sheets for poll watching, GOTV (calls; rides to polls); maybe voter reg drives, depending on state law.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

Is "left vulnerable to exploitation" some kind of weird weasel-speak for "exploited," a device you only seem to use with horrendous Republicans? Like "racially tinged" for "racist"?

It's not the same point, but the argument that the Biden admin had "porous policies" is completely false. They had a number of very harsh policies aiming to limit migration, the problem was state capacity to carry them out and the sheer force of the push/pull factors during the post-COVID years.
knew immediately this would have an abysmal 'to be sure' paragraph

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Ezra is a white columnist who tells liberals they don’t need to do radical things but instead they can just noodle through little tweaks that generate enormous benefits and everyone will be happy including business guys who won’t yell at them. That’s why he has influence.

Why is @nytimes.com claiming to know that FCC chair Brendan Carr's motives for state censorship of liberals are authentically felt, as opposed to an invented pretext? NYT headline writers can't see into Carr's mind.

Neither of whom is still in office. (Riggelman voted with MAGA 95% of the time.) Can you work with utter voids like MTG? Andy Biggs? No, and aspiring to shows a paucity of vision, even self-awareness. Present to us your own vision, and tell us why it will work.
At a time when our politics feel so divided, Virginians want — and deserve — a Governor who can work with anyone to deliver results.
I’m proud to have the support of Rep. Barbara Comstock, Rep. Denver Riggleman, and Republicans across the Commonwealth who are focused on putting Virginia first.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends.
In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five.
In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President.
You're being manipulated. Please stop.

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Little-known fact—of nine Virginians in the U.S. Army who held the rank of Colonel in 1861, only Robert E. Lee betrayed his oath of office to fight for the Confederacy. He was a traitor who doesn’t deserve to have a military base named after him.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.
