Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

This week I ran into a friend who doesn’t do hugs and she asked if she could give me a hug and I felt like I’d unlocked a new level of life
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

We have to apply pressure. Give Johnson a choice between being a hero or someone who has failed us, rather than simply casting him as a villain and accepting defeat. If you live in Chicago, share this piece with everyone you know and tell them to reach out to their alderman and the mayor's office.

SPL shared preliminary results of the 2025 patron survey, which included non-users. 98% said that the library improves overall quality of life in Seattle.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Two years after Burien leaders criminalized homeless camping outside, voters have elected a new City Council majority that generally opposes that strategy.

So far, the election of Mayor Wilson has been an excellent demonstration of how institutional Democrats and their wealthy donors try to discredit the real concerns of their voters. It's telling that all their attacks (not a career politician, no car) reveal a deep contempt for their base.

Remember, if Satan wants you to pay with anything besides your soul, it's a scam. The real Satan won't ask for your social security number or credit card info, he'll just give you money and fix your credit because that makes him popular and cool.

The underlying value that unites “13 year olds are old enough to consent” with “13 year olds are not old enough to know their gender” is “13 year olds have no right to bodily autonomy” - for their kid or any other
this is true but it goes even deeper than this, it’s not that they ‘don’t care’ about their kid, it’s they don’t care about their autonomany and only view their children as property and want to control them. its why we see the modern lavender panic, fears of “kids being transed”, from the far right
One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
