man he really hates trans people huh. what is going on in your head where you think harris was one charlie kirk beer summit away from flipping all the swing states she lost?

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

I know I keep saying this but the past month has really radicalized me against the Democrats in a way I never was before.

On Twitter, Chris claimed that 80% of the public agrees with Trump that trans people, immigrants, and all diversity should be eliminated. Eighty percent. This profoundly evil little shitstain is trying to manufacture centrist consent for wholescale genocide (but oh-so-politely).

It would have been nice if @slotkin.senate.gov could have been bothered to, you know, *mention* trans people even once.

I keep seeing people saying he’s backing down when what I’m seeing is a man manipulating the stock market for his cronies.

Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...

This administration is far and away the most corrupt administration in American history and Democrats should be repeating it every single time they open their mouths.

It is difficult to appreciate just how badly JD Vance’s comments are going down with military leaders, families of fallen soldiers & citizens across Europe. This is the UK’s most popular independent radio station, LBC. “Wow. A Vice-President who is as dumb as he is aggressive.” @lbc.co.uk

it would be great if we had a democratic party willing to go out and say “this is an insane lie to get you to irrationally hate a minority group trying to just exist peacefully” rather than start throwing us under the bus and twiddling their thumbs

framing a trans sports ban as a "bill protecting women's sports" is so fucking disgusting and disingenuous

IF TRANS ISSUES ARE SO INCONSEQUENTIAL DOES SOMEONE ON THE NYT MASTHEAD WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY SPENT THREE YEARS RUNNING A1 “INVESTIGATIONS” INTO SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICAL CARE AND THE LANGUAGE CHOICES OF NON-PROFITS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS????

Put out high quality versions of the original cuts and then WRAP IT UP

just incredible work from Jake Tapper, who dipped out of Bluesky when it became clear the common rabble on this website were allowed to tell him he was full of shit

🚨 Texas House Rep. Brent Money has introduced the first total ban on gender affirming care for all trans people in Texas. This is an unequivocal ban affecting all trans people by removing amending the existing ban on trans youth to apply to adults as well. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

Quite hard to describe massive cuts at Social Security Admin plus cancelling (without explanation) the flu vaccine committee meeting as anything other than an intentional financial, physical, and psychological attack on everyone over 65 years old. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

To be clear: this was a chat room where trans people discussed medical procedures and surgeries. There was nothing "pornographic" about it, except in the imaginings of the bigots who deem every aspect of trans life pornographic. This is a purge of all trans employees, and nothing less.

it's never been about sports and i'm so tired that we have to keep saying that

Stop listening to James fucking Carville.

Leading Democrats have almost completely ignored Trump's efforts to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. www.discourseblog.com/p/democrats-...

The "grim irony" (that literally every trans person warned you about for how many years???)

This is just pure unadulterated insanity. None should respond to this nonsense.

In case you’re too lazy to read the article, they are including people who have fully transitioned in the move. An administration of motherfuckers.

I completely agree with this, and with the thread. If you don't discuss racism as a giant motivating factor (not the only one, but a huge one), you can't cover this administration, these people, or their party accurately.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

"you should care about trans people bc they'll come for you next" right but what if you just cared about trans people?

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

The way you stop them from changing the law to allow a president to run for a third term is to have Obama say “sounds good. I’m in.”

Why do you believe that “they did not vote for this?” They voted for exactly what they wanted. They just thought they would not be affected.

They voted for bad things to happen to other people is the truest read of the situation

Ah, Democrats. Instead of just doing the thing, they come up with some complex bullshit no one understands to substitute for doing the thing.

HEY JD. WHAT JOKE? WHAT JOKE DON’T THEY WANT YOU TO TELL? TELL THE JOKE. GO ON. DO IT.

PEOPLE WITH A “DON’T TREAD ON ME” FLAG: “Actually, an all-powerful king is great.”

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

President Plane Crash.

I get we're all numb to this but another way of looking at Trump pushing 25% auto tariffs is the world's richest auto executive trying to ban much of his competition

Sending $30 to the Democrats so they can draft the “Hey, You Can’t Do That!” bill that never leaves committee because they left their only copy on the bus.

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

we are rapidly turning into the kind of small minded authoritarian country that is given a made-up name in an action thriller

It's kind of cool to see that the NYT is treating Canada the same way they treat trans people. Like it's a thought experiment rather than a bunch of living people.
