We really need to start caring about lying, as a society

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

Wonderful!

This is terrifying, but absolutely from the MAGA playbook: weaponise the language of your opponents against them. That One Simple Trick makes us play defence, steals our voices and and destroys any faith that claims mean anything at all. Truly Orwellian.

The Govt’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” ruled out public ownership - a solution 82% of us support - before even starting. This review is a sham - but we still have a chance to be heard. Sign @labourlewis.bsky.social’s open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Every time I hear people argue that democrats need better messaging I come to the realization that one party is playing by old rules where facts matter and the other has gone all-in on flat out lies, and it works because the media writes more about how the facts aren't messaged well than the lies 🤷‍♂️

It’s insane how we figured this out 15 years ago. High school kids can compete with who they want. NCAA athletes need a doctors’ note. Olympians/pros have to show that their T is under 15 ng/dl with a blood test. It worked. Zero problems. Perfect balance between fairness and inclusion.

This is a brand new letter by “Not in Our Name - Women”, a collective group of cisgender women who support the transgender community and object to the false divide between women’s rights and transgender rights. If you’re a cis woman you can sign your support here ⤵️
