@msignorile.bsky.social Heard you getting "triggered" by a MAGA today. Was it "Mo" that called in to ask that you be more civil? I get triggered by MAGA, too, so I can relate. One of the things I like about Gavin is his ability to not be triggered by MAGA. I can't do it but appreciate his ability.

@msignorile.bsky.social Bigger Priorities than Sports that Gavin supports:
Employment & housing protections.
Access to healthcare & insurance coverage.
Legal recognition (IDs, pronouns).
Safety from violence and harassment.
Mental health and suicide prevention.
Support for trans youth and families.

@msignorile.bsky.social Here is a list of 9 higher priorities for trans than the sports issue, all of which I am sure Gavin Newsom supports. The sports issue affects very few trans people. Try to look at the bigger picture and quit throwing Gavin under the bus.

@msignorile.bsky.social Higher priorities than sports for most trans are JOBS, HEALTHCARE, SAFETY, & DIGNITY. That’s where our energy should be — not tearing down allies like Gavin Newsom over a few athletic cases, but pushing together for broader rights that affect hundreds of thousands of lives.

@msignorile.bsky.social Again, you & your guest misconstrue a statement by Gavin Newsom. Not sure why you seem to have it out for Gavin & keep twisting his words & positions?? He never threw trans under the bus- He never agreed w/Kirks positions. He just advocated for "debate" rather than violence.

@deanobeidallah.bsky.social Thank you Bruce, who called in today mentioning “jerk-offs” that voted for Nader/Stein. Should repeat daily so it sinks in! Glad to hear Dean say 1 issue voters looking for perfect is issue. Dems bashing Dems (as your callers often do) leads to 3rd party & protest votes.

@msignorile.bsky.social Trans are "tiny fraction of all athletes." <10 of 510,000 college athletes; 2.8 million >13 ID as trans. What do you think is higher priority for that 2.8 million? A handful playing sports or gender affirming medical care & economic oppression? Priorities. Quit Dem bashing.

@msignorile.bsky.social Newsom never said he was against: 1. Gender affirming care. 2. Ability to use correct pronouns on gov. ID. 3. Work place protections. 4. Serving in the military. Newsom actually has a great record on LGBTQI+. He never threw trans people "under the bus." That is dishonest.

@msignorile.bsky.social False narrative- Gavin threw trans “under the bus.” There are higher priorities for trans & all of us than whether or not a handful of trans get to play insignificant & inconsequential games. Access to hormone blockers & med care is higher priority for most. Gavin supports.

Progressives should be pushing the Democratic Party, not bashing it. Bash individuals but not the Party. It undermines & sabotages us & gives permission not to vote or vote 3rd party.

@msignorile.bsky.social @deanobeidallah.bsky.social @tomhartmann.bsky.social @joesudbay.bsky.social I get so tired of callers being allowed to bash the Democratic Party rather than specific Democrats such as Schumer. I especially hate it when hosts join in the bashing. It is self-defeating.

@deanobeidallah.bsky.social Curious what you & your listeners think about Newsom's idea of responding to Texas redistricting & gerrymandering to pick up 5 seats. Newsom wants to go tit for tat. What say you?
