Trans people have not "weaponized" our rights--we are defending our rights against an effort to eradicate us from public life.

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to have a political leadership aligned with my beliefs that just earnestly said what they meant instead of constantly trying to appeal to people who either hate them or don’t exist

Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.

WOW — Republican Senator Joni Ernst when told kicking people off Medicaid will kill people: “WELL, WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE.” 🤔😳 And this is the “pro-life” party? Also — the federal Medicaid program does not cover undocumented immigrants: finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

Holy shit. This is what Joni Ernst had to say to a scared Iowan telling her that her attacks on Medicaid and food stamps are going to hurt people.

Incredible that a US Senator, when asked about Medicaid cuts causing people to die, had only this answer: "Well we're all going to die". Joni Ernst should be impeached.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

In addition to calling your senators on the daily as we brace for the gutting of Medicaid and the ACA, I want to encourage people to start connecting with others about how to defend healthcare in an environment where every insurance carrier is rushing to shed as many types of coverage as possible. 🧵

People don’t understand the challenges straight men are facing right now. If I reconnect with an old friend I haven’t seen in years, he might want to talk about crypto. Or lay out his strategy for online sports betting. He might even have an opinion on “the whole gender thing.” It’s terrifying.

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

Liberals love to tell ourselves that we are failing in some areas just because of conservatives and we are not willing to do much self analysis in a cold unemotional way of why so many of the things we keep doing suck. And I’m not talking about ideological self-flagellation, just in the mechanics.

A reminder that none of this is true about AOC, it’s demonstrably and provably untrue, and it’s being pushed by the kind of C-list (ok, D-list?) celebs who flock to Trump and MAGA:
