I don't understand why Democrats can't give clear and informative answers when discussing trans rights, including sports etc., and they're doing more harm than good. Also, it appears many leftist think it's more the right to express and a choice and don't understand what dysphoria really is.

Calling someone a Nazi and a White Supremacist just because they are successful and assumed White, going off you bigoted ideas of what you think that means, just shows you have no idea what real White Supremacy, Nazism and even systemic racism was about, in this country or Europe.

It's one thing when you bring to light actual racism but many on the Left have lumped multiple white 'races' as one, most who also experienced kkk, racism, severe poverty and even slavery too, that they come off more racist by going off just 'lightness' of skin and not reality and facts.

This is one of the most irresponsible things I've seen someone in the trans community do. Absolutely disgusting that Tara Knight faked claims about getting a letter from the FBI and then forged a letter with AI when journalists tried to verify.

Rumors of FBI letters threatening trans public figures center on an AI-generated document
It is not impossible for the FBI to do what has been claimed. It is still irresponsible to spread panic among marginalized people through rumors without evidence.

One issue, especially with the younger generations, is that the past decades have seen politics not only become so 'us vs them' but debates, discussions and even ideas become nothing more than trying to get an own, or mic drop, on the other side without any real nuance or critical thinking.

Art needs to be controversial sometimes. Not everything needs to be sanitized through the 'modern' lens of what a fringe group on the Left thinks is virtuos or not, which changes so often anyway. That includes artists themselves and their histories.

Andy Warhol would have hated safe spaces. So why keep dragging dead artists into today’s culture wars?
Critics and curators are reframing great artists, from Gentileschi to Soutine, to fit with modern ethical narratives. But this ignores the glorious ambivalence of their creations

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.

Even if the shooting was justified, which it wasn't, the failure to render immediate aid and blocking of a doctor from doing so constitutes 2nd degree manslaughter by the ICE agents at the minimum.
So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

So to be a Democrat hopeful for 2028: be a White guy, cater to the other side by attacking trans rights, make a big show of sticking it to Trump by acting like Trump and not be that great in the position of power you already have.

Why is it that when we literally have bigoted fascists in power the Democrats find so many ways to show they also really suck and are incapable of anything? They either don't do shit or go so extreme that most of America fears their ideas or at best are annoyed or 'fatigued' by their nonsense.

"Democrats reportedly offering the SS funding increases in exchange for better training for officers."
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.
