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.

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

“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.

Pre-adult treatments have no lasting effects in the miniscule likelihood of a child "growing out of it". Not receiving necessary medical care, however, cannot be undone. I do not understand why the law insists on siding against science, medicine, and personal freedoms.
Judge upholds North Dakota's ban on gender-affirming care for minors
The Supreme Court ruled in June that states can ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. At least 27 states have laws restricting or banning such care.

She also claims that refusing rights, employment, and services to queer people is not discrimination. This woman is deeply disturbing and I hope she never elected for anything, ever.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.
