The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

We need public punishments 1500s style for every-single ICE agent.

All of them.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

The country routinely has senators out performing the top of the ticket. This isn’t new.

Harris was a fucking horrific candidate and deserved to lose: we deserve what we got.

Stop supporting milquetoast horseshit and start supporting actual policy that helps real people.
The #1 thing that didn't make sense about the 2024 presidential election is that even as Kamala Harris lost every swing state (according to the vote tallies at least), Democrats won in all but one swing state with senate races and came very close to sweeping them outside the presidential race.

People understand that fascist and/or authoritarian transitional regimes do not just give up power, right?

You need to be prepared to lose a 'close' election in 2026 because it is likely to be made to happen.

You really think they won't ask Alito/Thomas to retire to 'reset' the race?

Uh, no. The worst part are the innocent dead people.

Fuck our garbage military. They chose to do this illegal shit.
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Part of the reason moderate democrats are so intolerable is that they miss every-single opportunity—without fail—to be human. They ALWAYS say consultant shit instead of just focusing.

This was an easy moment to be human, talk about disability, etc.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.”

Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported.

One of my favorite things about boomers is how they will take 40 minutes to order/sit in a line, with zero regard for anyone behind them.

“Get a job you imbecilic morons” is a hell of a position for a government to take in the middle of a deep recession lmfao
This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Can’t hear you over that loud gawking under the health insurance exec’s desk you’re under
Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?
