"human rights but only for people on my side" isn't revolutionary no matter what side you're on, you've just reinvented fascism from first principles

I dunno, man. He wants to restrict medical transition until after age 25, which destroys the trans kids it doesn't kill, and thinks we should be sexually harassing all athletes to keep trannies out of sports, so... Maybe the trans community knows more about his impact on us than you do?

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.

She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.

She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

There is going to be a general strike on January 23. Make sure you don't cross the picket line.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
The Trump administration is seeking to deport two men who provided accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp that differed from the Department of Homeland Security’s description of the incident.

I can’t trust them because I’m trans.

Not to be critical of this take, because it’s completely true, but also nobody says “I can’t trust politicians who are openly racist because they’ll be bad on other stuff too.”

Being against someone’s human rights should be enough.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

More that "who shot Kennedy" I want to know what/who/how/why so many senators and reps have abdicated their responsibilities.

There must be a reason underlying ALL of them behaving as if they have no agency.

That's my conspiracy theory, fwiw.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

How many of us have heard this before? “Don’t MAKE us take you out behind the bike sheds! Just give us your lunch money and after that we’ll leave you alone.” (eyeroll) “Fool me once…” etc.
you see the two-step on FOX News, where there is the 'you dont really think we will invade you, do you?' along with 'just give it to us'

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota National Guard under Gov Walz's command will not be wearing facemasks and will have reflective vests on. This will distinguish them from the people cosplaying for ICE/CBP/DHS.

The greatest single phase of my childhood was living on the southern border when the border was at the greatest degree of openness in the 20th century. And it was safe and cooperative and a great place to grow up. That land was Native & Spain & Mexico for much longer than it’s been US.
