This is absolutely good news, but the conditions that we're celebrating a victory in are horrific.
Waiting for the next headline to read "Shocking turn of events- several Republicans begin to question the morality of throwing live puppies in a blender after legalizing puppy blending."
Democrats need to make a list of every adviser that told them that standing up for trans rights would hurt them in 2024. They need to file that list under "unemployable."
