The reason we need to defeat Republicans is to keep trans people safe. If you’re willing to abandon trans people to beat Republicans that means you’ve decided to start by losing, and you’ve taken a path that won’t even beat Republicans in the election you’ve chosen to make meaningless.

Hard for me to get exercised about centrist advice re the so-called "culture war" that the left must avoid, when I literally see, nearly every day, transgender and immigrant patients that are concretely harmed in their bodies and lives by our regime.

it needs to be commonly understood that when we get power back we are going to make an example of these people, unmask them, Nuremberg them, and throw them in a deep dark hole

Coming up next week is the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, on which we celebrate receiving the Torah. At BookishlyJewish we enjoy learning and reading Torah perspectives from all denominations of Judaism, and we hope this bookstack demonstrates some of the diversity that's out there.

There is no way the US survives as a free country unless Trump is removed and imprisoned. Along with many in his administration. It’s just that simple, and it’s time to start repeating this over and over again until a majority of the country is repeating it too.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

Do I have any followers who know about the history of animal husbandry in the late antique mediterranean? I'm curious as to whether oxen in the Talmud would have been castrated. (Yes, I know practicing castration would be technically prohibited, but you can still purchase a castrated ox).

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Trump's new "Religious Liberty Commission" includes an advisor who has argued that non-Orthodox Jews shouldn't be allowed to make religious liberty claims, period. If you're Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist -- any type of Jew other than the officially favored sect -- you're at risk.

If I’m a Dem elected and I’m asked about Joe Biden’s health, I’m immediately asking the reporter “who is the president of the United States right now?” Bc that’s the first question they ask to test your mental acuity and many reporters seem to be failing it.

Trump/Musk and the entire GOP has spent the last four months systematically liquidating disease cure research in the United States. Lots of critical cure studies shuttered mid-way through. Research shutdown everywhere. It's all hands on deck to prevent new treatments for cancer, ahlzeimers etc.

Dear Democratic billionaires: for well under $1 million I will form a team and create an actually useful metric, with a much better chart, that reflects media ownership and editorial bias, to break the hold that the Allsides Republicans have on “media bias” debate.

as with trans healthcare and abortion, republicans want health care to be distributed on the basis of ideology rather than on what's in the best interest of the patient. (when they don't want to strip people of healthcare entirely.)
