Just heard that @mollycoleman.bsky.social won the Ward 4 election handily, proving (once again!) that the anti-street-safety 'tree truther' SARPA cranks have no juice. Congrats to Molly! I think she can be an excellent St. Paul City Council Member.

One week remaining (through August 12) in Saint Paul's Ward 4 special election and I'm grossed out by the Cole Hanson campaign. Let's talk ethics, let's talk just basic, fundamental knowledge about how things are supposed to work in the public interest.

I'm voting for Molly Coleman. She's awesome.

Minnesota Queer Legislators Caucus release on recent comments from national leading Democrats regarding trans rights.

Good reasons ... and Cole Hanson section sums his candidacy up perfectly

"[Cole Hanson] seems like a random policy generator in a time when St. Paul is in rather desperate straits, and needs stability and common sense. Only Molly Coleman passes the test."

99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women.

Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone.

Anyway. Many such cases.

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.

This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.

The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.

This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Increasingly what I'm seeing in liberal spaces is trans people being told we're an electoral liability.

Increasingly what I'm seeing in progressive and leftist spaces is trans people being told that we're not important enough when compared with "real oppression."

And honestly it's infuriating.

A death cult.

"this perversely antisocial iteration of public health, the organizing concept is: deaths elsewhere mean more health among groups of socially deserving and physically normative majoritarian subjects".

This. The status quo was not good before. We cannot “go back to brunch” like we did after Trump’s first term. We cannot throw leftists, trans, etc. under the bus. Get rid of the fascists and conservatives. Lets build a new world from the ashes of the old.

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions.

this retconning of the science is deep deeeeeeep authoritarianism.

All of the pages on the TSA website pertaining to trans and nonbinary people have been deleted. They were up just days ago - I checked them before flying to and from California. Now it’s gone. I found these screenshots are on the internet archive.
