Here's a text exchange I had on October 13th with someone at a big mainstream media company predicting exactly what would happen. And it has happened.

Gavin Newsom used the 1st episode of his new podcast to torpedo his viability as a 2028 presidential candidate. Having Kirk on to talk about trans rights is like interviewing Andrew Tate about sex trafficking. Newsom didn’t even try to push back when Kirk started calling trans women "young men".

I'm so tired of trans people being excluded from conversations about how we're allowed to live our lives.

It's genuinely funny that NYT sent out a freaking push notification to alert the world that someone agrees with them about trans rights, the same way they'd alert the world about a nuclear war breaking out.

ICYMI: We identified the operator of one of an anonymous Hitler-quoting self-described ‘Aryan' that is followed by Vice President JD Vance. His name is Geoff Martin, and his father is the president of Trinity Western University, a private Christian college in Canada.

Just left Houlahan an angry voicemail in which I pledged to support any candidate primarying her from the left. These folks are a disgrace who should be kicked out of office, at best. Of course Reagan's biggest fan is on this list too. Shame on each and every one of them.

This is why I feel like Sisyphus. I wrote about California passing (and successfully defending against repeal challenges) a nondiscrimination bill that protected trans student rights, including sports... 12 years ago. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... I thought this had been settled.

just to clarify for the zillionth time: the reason that "the democrats" are not standing up in any significant way for trans people while the republicans try to kill us is because they also hate us and want us to die!

of course the politico article about gavin newsom’s podcast with charlie kirk leaves out the part where newsom says the anti-trans attacks, including the sports bans, dehumanize a vulnerable population

Yearning for Reagan is a special kind of fuck you because not only was Reagan extremely bad for the country but he killed an entire generation of queer people and given how this country is trying to legislate trans people out of existence, if you believe Reagan is good kindly eat my shit and hair

trump just shut down all weapons shipments to ukraine overnight so for all the people who spent all year feigning confusion about what biden could possibly have done to slow down the massacres in gaza, it would have looked like that

Democrats even thinking about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

I’m six years younger than Elissa Slotkin but I also remember the horrible Reagan years when he left the queer community to die and Black communities to drown in poverty and started the destruction of higher ed so I know any Democrat trying to take us back to that era fucking sucks

One good thing to do about this is to protest justices’ appearances at law schools. As a lawyer, I think we need to really work on promoting public disrespect for the Supreme Court. I’m completely serious about this. They fucking hate when you make it real and personal. Do more of that.

it just sucks as a trans american to have the sitting president do a historic screed against your life and liberty on international television, and then receive crickets from the people in your life the next day, but then again, this is how migrants in the U.S. have felt for decades

I'm not sure people understand what's happening. Israel stopped all aid trucks from entering Gaza until Hamas agrees to sign a rewrite of the original ceasefire agreement, which will allow Israel to continue the war indefinitely...and the whole world is quiet about it www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/m...

They laugh at "transgender mice" bc they know cutting research funding is a step towards removing our autonomy to exist ~transsexually~. These mouse models of gender affirming hormone therapy will help us improve trans healthcare. That's why they want to stop us. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35863692/

there has never been a past without trans people and there won’t be a future without them either, no matter what. no law can change that. i refuse to allow them to talk about people i love like that.

“Emails that have since been made public quite clearly show that Littlejohn, in fact, asked the school to use they/them pronouns for their non-binary child. Littlejohn … gave approval to let their child and their teachers lead on appropriate school protocols.”

in many other moments of this pseudo state of the union, dems have been booing and shouting about how the president is lying. the anti-trans attacks — which have been the biggest focus of this address so far, beyond immigration — have been met with silence, at least on TV. nothin’.

A 14 year old Indigenous girl was found dismembered in Arizona amidst a steady epidemic of missing & murdered Indigenous girls & women I’m not saying the US govt would ultimately be helpful, but its worth also mentioning Trump is currently closing the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ offices in Arizona
