Do people realize how many Black women ended up broke after sacrificing so much for the civil rights movement?
We don't make a coin from any of it. We go broke. We die broke. Y'all write about it and make millions.
We can no longer be bullied into sacrifice we cannot afford.

If we protect the most vulnerable among us, which at the moment is trans women of color, then maybe we will all get free.
We are never going to get free by “choosing our battles” and ignoring that the entire country has trained its ire at one percent of the population.
I implore you to be better.

I remain convinced that if you resort to convenient bigotry to win votes, the people whose votes you gained will eventually vote for a more sincere bigot, while the people you abandoned will never trust you again.
These are the people telling the Democrats that abandoning trans rights is the way to win over voters.
Has joining the anti-trans UK consensus done them any good? Hmm, it really doesn't seem like voters give politicians a reward for anti-trans policies.

"Labour’s support from voters “has fallen away sharply” with a more rapid decline in its popularity than has ever been seen for a new government – after the party came to power with a smaller proportion of the vote than any previous majority government."

I just heard Megyn Kelly pose the question "do you think you're being Kavanaugh'ed" to Pete Hegseth and it just feels like a good time to repeat that I believe Christine Blasey Ford, and I believe Anita Hill, and Megyn Kelly is a piece of actual shit.

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.
His advice to dems: Lead on your values.
This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

the important question isn’t “did Harris lose because the left is too woke?” it’s “why isn’t Donald Trump in federal prison?” We’re being subjected to lectures about politics by the people who held all of the power and let this dipshit slip through their grasp.
