Seeing so many ppl posting "trans rights are human rights" is heartening. Also made me aware some ppl don't know which rights are unprotected or explicitly denied.

Kinda sucks replying, then not allowing further conversation. Yes, they have Dem Soc backing-good strategy. Still, they chose to *also* work the inside track.
Lack of a strong presence has tanked minority parties. Maybe use the Dems against themselves, push ranked voting? Could blow it wide open.

To the person on N Lombard this morning in overalls over a yellow hoodie: you rocking out w/ your headphones on and the biggest smile on your face not caring who watched... you made my day. It reminds me that in the midst of this, we don't let them steal our joy. We don't let them take it from us.

Yeah, your peeps won.
The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.

Yesterday in Shilling v. Trump (the 9th Circuit case about the military transgender ban), the government admitted that it has found no evidence to support any of the "traits" that the Secretary of Defense attributed to transgender servicemembers.
