These numbers are complete lies but the underlying argument — that Democrats are paying illegal immigrants to come here and become voters — is 100% Great Replacement Theory. He’s spouting the exact same racist conspiracy that inspired mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

Calling Trump names doesn't do anything. The government is still being destroyed. High ranking members of government are cheering the abduction of a green card holder. Essential services are being purged and allocated money not being spent. If you think calling Trump 47 or drumpf does something...

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

Hey were you on the fence about keeping your Tesla well you're about to see a photo shoot of Donald Trump in his new Tesla he says he bought

Bunch of cowards. This “oh noes trans athletes” is a cooked up grift and these door knobs are falling for it. Primary every single one of them. *** Schiff on transgender athletes: Confident that ‘local communities’ can ‘make decisions’ to ensure sports ‘safe,’ ‘fair’ thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Leave a message for Schiff at (415) 393-0707. Bs right wing talking point used for abortion bc bigotry is ok if neighbors in your county think so. Schiff should be primaried.

This is an actionable statement, it asserts a provable fact. bsky.app/profile/kenk...

I want HBO to make a series out of this instead of Harry Potter

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

like the AP ban and the law firm threats, this is a pressure test designed to provoke compliance and establish targets for further bullying (and yeah, this happens to be one the Democrats will fail spectacularly)

The sick yet obvious conclusion to allowing people to be targeted for where they come from, how they worship or what they're named. This makes anyone who does not look, live or love like MAGA unsafe - and, yes, that includes Jews.

I’ve had a few people ask “oh, so is disagreeing with Gavin Newsom on trans athletes a PURITY TEST?” And yes, protecting trans people from discrimination is a vital purity test. It is pathetic and disgusting how many people who claim to be Democrats are failing it.

"The Supreme Court notoriously decided in 2010 that in certain circumstances, corporations should be considered people. If that’s true, Steak ‘n Shake wears a brown shirt and swastika armband." -- @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

New — I wrote about how the Congressional Dems who voted to censure Rep. Al Green don’t understand their enemy and aren’t made for this moment:

This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being “uncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are “intolerant” and “extreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

The fact that Ds and Rs came together to stop these anti trans bills in Montana should not be something incredible, but in this political climate it is. These bills are unconstitutional and just pure bigoted nonsense, stoping them is what any rational normal person should do regardless of politics.

Someone in the crowd started an anti-trans rant at the Markey town hall and was immediately swarmed by a bunch of older lib women who shouted her down and chased her out, like a bunch of crows chasing away a predator.

This meme continues undefeated.

I would highly encourage everyone to abandon this conception of public opinion, where the public simply holds an opinion that is ever-so-slightly to the right of Democrats, and if only Democrats would concede that few inches, the public would return to them. It’ll just keep running away from you

if you replaced these guys' inboxes with a woman sportswriter's, they'd commit suicide by lunchtime

Gender self-identification is the only way to maintain human dignity in a gender segregated society. Anyone who claims otherwise is either falsely assuming the genital police will never come for them or their friends or their children, or lying.

The burdens of Republicans’ campaign of hatred against the community affect trans people most severely, but they truly fall on everyone. I don’t want to live in a society where police officers come storming into the john demanding to see your private parts. www.advocate.com/news/lesbian...

if you capitulate on trans kids playing sports with their friends the right will keep moving further until they are calling for “eradication” and you are telling me you are willing to join their calls if they move public opinion enough

So Steak 'n' Shake is a Nazi bar now

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

People arguing that Dems should moderate on the trans people in sports because it's popular are not just morally idiots, but also either politically dumb or disingenuous because it's a policy/outcome popularity thing again, in the end the outcome are gender inspections for kids which are unpopular.

“Officials liked what the man in the van set out to do - give all the children delicious candy - but have been frustrated by his reckless abduction approach”

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

I've long said that if I could go the rest of my life without ever having to mention or write about trans issues, I would be beyond happy. And I am trans.

Adults obsessed with policing trans kids will always and forever scan as weird and in recent memory the Democratic Party never had a better grasp of this than when they rallied around Walz calling this behavior weird.

This was a winning strategy and nothing radicalized me more than seeing the dem establishment try to tamp it down under the guise of seeming respectable. Very hard to trust a party where the people in charge seem to be keen on killing any and all momentum

many Americans love Trump more than they love their own family members. When forced to choose, breaking off from Trump is more painful for them.

congrats to university administration who both sold out their students and lost $400M. A+ work.

I don’t think many of the people talking about polls know what the hell they’re talking about, but even if they did, I’m not basing my beliefs about civil rights and human dignity off a poll. That’s not how things like morality or ethics or basic human decency work.

Hello! My latest piece @thenation.com "Don’t Listen to Greasy Gavin Newsom. Listen to Trans Athletes." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

The actual trajectory of Democratic opposition to Trump since 2016 is that Democrats first engaged in #resistance and cultural progressivism, won the House in 2018, defeated Trump and won a trifecta the year of the George Floyd protests, tacked right under Biden, and lost in 2024.

i strongly believe there should be a moratorium on election advice from weird antisocial losers who would struggle to order a pizza on the phone

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

“If all Democrats do is attempt to match public opinion, they’ll be forever operating within a Republican frame, stuck watching the polls while Republicans move them. What has happened with trans rights will happen over and over; an endless cycle of perpetual retreat.”

my latest newsletter piece: on how the Democrats' posture toward trans rights signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how politics work
