71 years old and finally achieving his dream of killing children. Not just some children here or there, like he's been doing, but thousands of children annually, systematically, by destroying one of the pillars of public health, one of the greatest achievements of humanity.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

A whole lot of incumbent Democrats in DC are simply not up to this moment and need to be both (1) shamed into whatever action we can get from them and (2) removed at the soonest opportunity.

Banned from sport. Blocked from medical treatment. Denied legal gender recognition. Erased from historical monuments. Many politicians/media claimed trans folk were erasing others’ rights. Meanwhile, these politicians/media have systematically sought to negate trans existence. It’s sickening.

Not even once.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

“Do not bend your neck for that which cuts necks.” A Sumerian proverb, as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Awesome

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target. Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 www.reuters.com/business/ret...

This is utterly horrifying. Absolute violence that will lead to sexual assault and death.

Fucking grim

This is the same argument the most die-hard slavers used to support the Confederacy and their economic model. This is a Segregationist Administration

At this point bipartisanship is for those unwilling to act

I don’t care what Curtis Yarvin or any other shallow pseudo intellectual thinks.

I want to vote for the party that stands up for the trans community and other vulnerable communities because it’s right. I don’t care whether it’s popular or not.

The entire approach is what would happen if middle school boys were given unlimited money and asked to choose a government. Entirely based on upsetting the grown ups who have been telling them what's best.

VA healthcare is better than private. Veterans’ healthcare will get worse if more of it is privatized

It is remarkable cowardice

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Trump is now < 50%, and leads Harris < 2%. This election was extremely close. That margin will have enormous consequences. But it’s small enough that instead of debating which vulnerable groups and standards of decency Dems should abandon, they could just focus on how to better defend both.

A million percent this
