dems are probably going to eat shit from fox & newsmax & the NYT for this for a news cycle. or until the recession hits.
you’re going to hate that i’m asking this, but if you have a dem senator who voted to stop this, you should call & tell them “good job. we like when you fight. keep it up.”

And tbh I don't hate this, I think it IS good to call and thank when warranted because then it shows you will have their back for doing things you support. And I am already tired of begging them to do even the most basic things to save democracy so this was a nice change.
i see D senators slotkin and welch didn't vote.
“she didn’t seem to be enjoying herself. it felt rote. this is all an act for them.”
It's like people just want to attack the Dems and never give them credit.
i’m not a democrat. i don’t care for much of what they do. i’ll use carrots & sticks but they do a lot worth yelling about.
People need to give credit when credit is due versus silence before going back to yelling.
if they want to hear more love, they should do more good things. there are several democrats who get *a lot* of praise—and a lot of it while their own party leadership scolds them for fighting for good stuff & touts bipartisanship.
Hell, the Dems posts the things they do every day on social media and they barely get any reactions and comments.
And be constructive. Not every issue is black and white. "I like the idea, but this aspect worries me" can go a long way to create actual improvements.

they need to hear that this *is* what you want from them. fighting for trans civil rights should be a winning issue. make them believe it.
Protect everyone’s right to dance at their own pink pony clubs - that is true freedom
I can’t imagine living in a world where I fail at my job and *NOT* get fired for it???
what did the bill say
about transmasc men?
i have several friends
who are transmasc
but i've noticed that
the rhetoric from
right wingers seems
to forget they exist
most bills i've seen are 20+ pages
of dense legalese and not 4 pages
of distilled unscientific bigotry
and yes i know transmasc is often
weaponized in other ways
but it's usually ignored
by RW bigots when
doing their moral panic
performances
