And I find it maddening that we continue to do this for racists that are cheerfully enabling a fascist regime because they are women. It's as obnoxious as "Free Melania" and "Support Megyn Kelly" and "We have space for MTG". They have made the choice to cozy up to white supremacy and deserve hell

Horrifying
someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral
i will not share the video
but if you’re not speaking up about this, you’re hurting yourself

Update: the woman on the Tumwater (WA) school board who voted to protect trans kids is now ahead by *25 points*.
I'd totally missed this:
In Tumwater, WA, a HS student complained about a trans basketball player. Then, the local school board passed a resolution to ban trans girls from girl sports.
Now, the mother of that student is running against the sole school board member to vote against the resolution.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

This!! Ask the people you are in solidarity with to tell you what they want and need! In every job, not just politics
just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters
Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.
There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but it’s always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get “caught up” in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.
It will never not bother me how often when you’re talking to someone — in life, for work, w/e — who is struggling that that person works in healthcare. Nurses, orderlies, home health aids, people who draw blood, etc
