We must never let up on our right to vote in free and fair elections, despite intimidation from those who know they could never win unless they cheat, lie, fearmonger, suppress, and oppress.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

If you keep sacrificing your nominal allies to the meat grinder in hopes that you will eventually once again get to be in charge of the meat grinder's operation, you'll one day look around and realize you're alone with the folks demanding ever more ground human.

Every single person who thinks a trans person should just pipe down until we restore democracy is, in my view, an enemy of democracy.

I’m not doing it.

For those not paying attention, Hitler went after a marginalized group in the 30s. Today’s stand-in is LGBTQ+ but specifically trans. You can’t fight the fascism AND throw people under the bus. Any such takes lead to the same place.
The DOJ subpoenas to providers of gender affirming care wanted the therapy notes, social security numbers, and addresses of patients. This is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of medical privacy.

Government’s demand for trans care info sought addresses, doctors’ notes, texts
Legal experts said the Justice Department subpoenas related to medical care for transgender minors appear to be unprecedented.

Gavin Newsom is a transphobe "show me the evidence" thread, for all those Vote Blue No Matter Who posters in your replies.

this isn't the guy. push back on everyone who is trying to convince you the primary has been decided years in advance with a guy that loses in the general.
let's talk about why.

newsom vetoed AB 2442, which would have made it easier for care providers to become licensed if they offer gender-affirming care.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)
