Bill Kristol is doing more to defend trans people than the Democratic party. Schumer and Jeffries haven't said a damn thing.

I think the leadership is going to drop trans equality. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it's something I really worry about. I feel as though we are on our own.

Turns out conservatives who are actually, y'know, dedicated to conserving things have more steadfast morals than wishy washy proceduralists.

Jeffries is especially disappointing. Schumer sadly is not surprising.

Maybe the Democratic Party should have had an actual debate about its next leader instead of just letting Pelosi pick whoever she wanted on her way out.

The Democrats have a long history of throwing the LGBTQ community under the proverbial bus, backing up over us, then running over us again. They're only there for us when it's convenient to get votes & once in office don't do shit for decades. Even then it's 1 step forward 1000 steps back.

How do you figure that? Under President Biden did you have it this bad? Stop blaming Democrats !

53 yrs of life waiting for the Dems to grow a spine and stop being center-right. Witnessing it all over & over again. Decades down the road, we get 1 step forward and 1000 steps back & this while the Dems were in control. It's obviously not better under Dump. But it hasn't been good with the Dems

Never Trumpers are priceless. It was MASSIVE awlf-own when the left didn't accept them in the last elections. Don't need to ask them for health care policy, just accept them as Americans who love their people and are willing to sacrifice for our democracy. See Liz Cheney drama drama drama. FAIL!

It’s hard to ignore that “sacrificing trans people” is the most coherent Democratic strategy since the midterms.

one of my friends is part of an active lawsuit against the curent administration because of this

If the @democrats don’t start speaking out for trans people, this cisgender straight woman will NOT be voting for them either. They need to WAKE UP!

What a timeline!

Disturbing thought.

There’s so much poop hitting the fan courtesy of Repubs, but resisters insist on trolling Dems. It is UNCONSCIONABLE how Repubs are attacking trans in and out of the military. Yes, Dems need to speak out against such policies. But they aren’t the architects. Focus.

That’s cause at best they’re cowards who care ONLY about their jobs - be kinda funny that they’re under a regime that is rapidly making congress an advisory only body so no change in their job roles.

At worst they’re fellow travelers who are complicit in this nightmare.

They are pathetic.

He’s literally more left than the current Dem party

sobekhotep97.bsky.social•1 day ago

Jeffries has indirectly said something. He said that “the far left”, ie trans people, are being mean to him

evoutwest.bsky.social•1 day ago

I cannot with Jeffries. smdh

Bill is pretty much antifa at this point.

haileycolp.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve said it once I’ll say it again this is the most bizarre timeline

openingmyheart.bsky.social•1 day ago

They're "picking their battles"! /s

dominiqueqc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because they’re hacks and whores for donors. They don’t care losing and about people suffering as long ad they get their money.

The exceptions are a ruse to make it seem like they aren't totalitarian, but nobody will qualify.

Hasn't been a problem in the armed forces for years, yet suddenly here we are.

The big money consultants have spoken, trans people under the bus, refugees under the bus, poc under the bus., women under the bus.

So I guess the Democratic Party overton window slide is now white christian nationalism lite. Nazi, but not bad nazi.

jimbo831.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's pretty crazy that a bunch of former Republicans care more about most liberal values than the average Democratic politician these days.

Can you imagine getting lapped by Bill Kristol on this one? JFC guys, wash your ass
