Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

The response of DOJ after being treated exactly how the Trump admin is treating trans people: This is degrading! It’s a violation of our rights! It serves no legitimate purpose! We’re being used as props to make a political statement! If it were possible my eyes would roll out of my head.

Tired of the “never coming back from this in our lifetimes” nonsense. South Korea, Brazil, Eastern Europe, Mexico were all effectively dictatorships within a life time (and most within my life time) and have all have democracy now.

We're gonna look back on this era and be so baffled and infuriated about how much time the media spent complaining about DEI trainings. Yes some of them are silly but overall, companies recruiting minorities and trying to create less hostile workplaces is good!

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

The United States is a Constitutional republic in which the will of the people is realized in the rule of law—determined by three coequal branches, with a process for challenging each other—certainly not by any individual. That was the framers’ entire point. Our American bedrock.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

Another free idea for the @democrats.org: Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website. Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

While I don't have reporting to prove this unequivocally, I agree that this is best informed guess as to why the NYT ran biased story after biased story attacking youth trans healthcare, abandoning their journalistic commitment to objectivity in pursuit of more readers from the political right.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

There is a relative silence among the commentariat in the face of Trump's anti-transgender EOs because there is no amount of throat-clearing over trans athletes or hand-waving over UK medical reviews that can obscure the hatred and animosity of Trump himself. They have nothing to hide behind.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?
