So apparently ICE is claiming there’s been “a staggering 413 percent increase in assaults against them” and you know what, that’s a really good start but we can do better, folks! Aim for an even 500! Then double it! Shoot for the moon! An eleventy-thousand increase!

Absolutely astounding that it is still controversial to point out that the anti-trans movement is driven by bigotry, not ethics-in-research concerns about children.
They keep fucking telling you this to your face!

We saw this in the UK too: All of the allegedly "reasonable" concerns about bone density, low-quality research, lack of long-term follow-up, profits for Big Pharma, etc — magically disappear when it comes to cisgender kids receiving the exact same treatments.

Tennessee's youth transition ban is straightforwardly discriminatory. It bans puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries *only* when they are used to affirm a trans identity

There are three problems with putting something like this on TV or wide release.
1. The people who know it's happening and like it.
2. The people who won't believe it no matter what evidence they're given.
3. The people who don't and won't give a damn.

there's been an intense campaign to dehumanize trans people from the right, a campaign in lock step with rolling back ALL CIVIL RIGHTS. yet it is the marginalized ppl asking for rights that are critiqued and centered; not the cruel bigoted denial of those rights (just to exist!) by those in power.
Would be amazing to get a single piece of media on this topic centered on the right's firehose of bigotry and misinformation rather than "the trans rights movement's shortcomings"

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.
Because of my work and writing, I've talked to countless elected officials and their staffers about political violence over the past several years. Mostly Dem, though not all. The collective trauma for these folks is immeasurable and justified. With no recourse. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...
Congress confronts its own trauma
After an assassin’s hit list was revealed to contain multiple lawmakers, the pain of political violence hit home in new ways.

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.
And yes, this kind of violence has support on the right, in the form of pardons, statements of support from R politicians, and legitimate organizational forms (e.g. militias) that it simply does not have on the left
