there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

It's not even the democrats at this point. It's their campaign whisperers. The consultant class is telling their clients that they're going to lose if they doing support this & the candidates are often not that well informed, so they listen to the consultant.
The consultants get the axe?

Amazing how many of the state's top Democratic consultants are selling out to tech. Just cashing tf out. This is why I say the biggest threat doesn't come from Republicans—it comes from Democrats selling us out over time.
BTW: I spent most of my career working for California Democrats.

I remember my sister calling me from my parents' house - they lived up in the Appalachian mountains at the time - because she needed to pass the time until the black bear family stopped using her van as a jungle gym.
I wish I had photos or video of that experience. They were there for hours.

You're pretending that the Trump administration represents a normal continuation of government & that the Robert's Court represents a valid constitutional bulwark. We both know that both pretensions to reality are false & you need to stop. Deal with the reality in front of you.
Constitutionally, his intent doesn't matter here. Under governing First Amendment doctrine, if he's speaking on a matter of public concern (✅) then the question is whether the speech was damaging to workplace harmony, efficiency, and/or functioning—and if students were being pulled from school...

Speaking from experience: the best you can hope for is people who were on the fence deciding you're more correct than the person you're yelling at. That's the only reason to argue online. To convince people on the fence. So, best to know if anyone's on that fence before you engage.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Trump can fire people for actually doing their constitutional duties, Adam will be silent. One school teacher resigns because their public support for a Nazi purge of the wrong-colored Americans upsets the people whose children are under his care & Adam is absolutely livid.
Am I going to be the only one to suggest that firing a public school teacher for speaking out on a matter of public concern raises profound First Amendment issues, and we should pause before cheering on such actions when that power can be weaponized against progressive teachers in red places? 1/3
This “beloved” Chicago teacher, James Heidorn, believes he was pushed out of his job due to a two-word post on his Facebook account.
Oddly enough, the heavily Hispanic district didn’t appreciate him posting “GO ICE”.

People's public actions are always conditioned by their terms of employment. For example, I never talk about certain things because I've signed a number of non-disclosure agreements.
In the same way, a public servant likely has a contract that says "thou shalt not advocate for Nazism".

Being a school teacher in IL he has lots of rights & union support. Quitting the process before showing he was "wrongly" suspended to jump on the RW martyr gravy train just kinda makes me give 0 fucks.
I agree with protecting the 1st. Its just hard to care when the person jumps for cash so quick.

Let's lift some of the potential obfuscation: ICE is the modern day Gestapo. If anyone in a position of authority said "Go Gestapo", would you defend their right to say that or celebrate their exile from polite society?

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
