Donald Trump is so determined to discriminate against trans people that he would issue an executive order threatening funding for hospitals and health centers that provide care for every American just to bully transgender children.

It would be more believable if this was more than just a statement posted by a staffer with no evidence that Markey or anyone on his team reads any of the responses on a social media site that succeeded due to the many, many trans people here.

I wish the rest of the Democratic Party would stand up for transgender people. The equivocation and political cowardice of Dems is deafening. I’m a lifelong Dem voter and donor and I’ve just about had it with Dems.

Thank you. Please encourage your colleagues to follow your lead. NO group should be thrown under the bus and framed as “a distraction.” Once the first group is sacrificed, there will be a next group “distracting” and deemed worthy of sacrificing, too. A line must be drawn NOW.

This is all because Musk has LGTBQ+ child who hates him.
He blames “woke” for his own disgusting bigoted shortcoming.

Talk is cheap, Ed. What do you plan to do about it?

rebeccabact.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am so grateful to be your constituent. Thank you so much!

Forget "norms." Obstruct everything, sue on everything, and follow Sen. Sanders and Rep. AOC's lead on messaging. Condemn less, explain how dems have already delivered on a populist basis now. Signed, a constituent

fight louder! We need to hear our representatives fighting on every platform all day everyday.

drakenknight.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you for actually speaking up

nanx11.bsky.social•25 days ago

We need more elected officials like you. Willing to take a stand against discrimination.

pennyshot.bsky.social•24 days ago

The lip service is lovely, but y'all need to take a page out of the Republican playbook and start getting obstructionist.

silveraspen.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you. How? What actions will you take? We need more than words now.

Thank you for saying more than Schumer is capable of.

Block every one of his picks

ruairi.bsky.social•24 days ago

This. You approved Rubio and this happened to my friend today https://bsky.app/profile/marisakabas.bsky.social/post/3lgysrrklb22l

Ughh! Terrible

nananobody.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you for speaking up. We need more of your colleagues to do the same. Trans rights are human rights.

levin.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you for standing up for trans people. Wish more elected Dems were like you. One point I want to emphasize though is he’s not just trying to bully, he wants to exterminate. Without transition care kids will die.

janette.bsky.social•25 days ago

How are you going to fight him? Can you get your fellow democrats to fight along with you?

kskm3.bsky.social•25 days ago

Senator, please demand to know why Sec Def wasn’t available last night.

The crash was at 9pm

Reasonable ask if he wasn’t on TV because he was drunk.

kskm3.bsky.social•25 days ago

I left a message at your office today begging you to please do more to oppose Trump. Be on TV. Call press conferences. Refuse to cooperate with anything. Vote against everything.

relentlessyapp.bsky.social•25 days ago

Retire already. We don't need another Zionist in the Senate masquerading as a Progressive.

benotafraid.bsky.social•25 days ago

Cool. What are you and your party members gonna do to fight back?

buckeyeshelby.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trans rights are human rights.

seahorse61.bsky.social•21 days ago

Why are democrats voting for and approving people who are not qualified or have private interests?

puzzlescarves.bsky.social•25 days ago

As a constituent (and a human being), I'm thrilled to see this. Thank you!

deadlyflowers.bsky.social•25 days ago

It's the abortion playbook. You can expect them to update the Hyde Amendment to also discriminate against gender-affirming care during this year's budget negotiations and they will pass it via reconciliation.

They want us dead.

anarchopianist.bsky.social•25 days ago

Then convince your colleagues to do something about this actual genocide, because we're literally dying.

mortalgreenworks.bsky.social•25 days ago

Fuck Donald Trump

hazelcakes.bsky.social•25 days ago

love the message

…but what is the plan?

tmernz.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you, Senator. Keep fighting the fight. You and Sen. Warren make me proud to live in MA.

turtlesoup.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you, Senator, for having the courage to stand up for us. Please keep it up.

camwynya.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thanks, Ed. My family and my friends appreciate it.

kansaswoman.bsky.social•25 days ago

What are the DETAILS

HOW are you going to
FIGHT and WIN

Show your WORK sir

What are you DOING
NOT just saying

necrosia.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you Ed. And I feel this is all the more reason to block RFK Jr who believes in pesticides are turning the kids trans type of fear mongering lies.

liaelf76.bsky.social•22 days ago

Words are meaningless. What are you DOING ABOUT IT?

lexabro.bsky.social•25 days ago

Senator I'm at the point where I don't even know if it's safe for me to call the Veterans Crisis Line. I am literally begging you and the other democrats to stand up and meet this moment

Please also fight to stop the coup happening before our eyes. My senators are Rubio and Scott so you know there's not much I can say to them. But what the Democrats doing? What is the plan?

ripplepig.bsky.social•25 days ago

Senator Markey, Please repeat after me in front of a camera, EVERY DAY.

"How does bullying trans kids lower the price of eggs?"
"How does bullying trans kids help Americans afford groceries?"

dmbfckngnm.bsky.social•25 days ago

you keep voting for unanimous consent, maybe stop doing that

rightaboutnow2.bsky.social•25 days ago

Great. Let’s hear your plans.

markpaglia.bsky.social•25 days ago

So I'm about to hear that not a single motion in the Senate is getting unanimous consent until the EO is repealed, right?

laurasmith2024.bsky.social•25 days ago

@Markey.senate.gov As someone whose life is dependent upon MassHealth, please keep fighting for our healthcare! Kennedy/Oz should be non starters. Don’t let them cut out healthcare and kill us!
