Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy".
The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

Evergreen post. I think this every day.
the fact that every democrat in the house and senate isnt in front of a microphone screaming "what the actual fuck are you doing" is insane.

You're high off the No Kings demonstration but don't know what to do next? Decolonize your mind. Practice active anti-racism. Talk to your friends about how you can commit concrete acts that dismantle white supremacy. Think about how you interact with Black people. Unpack your internal biases.

I really need people to understand that refusing to seat fascists is an antifascist act that protects democracy & is not the same as fascists refusing to seat antifascists to destroy democracy—in the same way that finding a guilty person guilty isn't the same as finding an innocent person guilty.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Transgender Ideology: “Please let me live in peace.”
Antifascist Ideology: “Fascism is bad, okay?”
Seems uncomplicated, but they still muddy it all up with hate and fear.

His last official words were transphobic lies. I don’t believe he deserves this much attention at all. Let’s talk about literally anything else.

No I will not automatically give democrats the benefit of the doubt on trans rights (or any issue). They haven’t earned that level of trust.

Quite right. The bar is so low it’s lying on the ground, and so many people still manage to trip. If you do not support trans rights, I do not trust you.
I’m just going to say again that there is no “debate” about trans rights.
There are bigots and there are bigot enablers and then there are trans rights. That’s the split.
And here’s a hint: if you are a Democrat engaging in or creating a debate about this, you are one the first two. Period.

The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.

reposted this today because the inverse is also true:
if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period.
if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one.
If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving.
Either we all get saved or none of us do.

I hope every friend, family member, and neighbor makes life incredibly uncomfortable for every single “law-enforcement” officer that put their hands on Senator Padilla.
Sen. Alex Padilla forcibly removed, arrested, and thrown to the ground for asking DHS Sec. Kristi Noem a question in LA.
Make no mistake. This is Fascism.

People participating in mass protests do not have to DO anything violent to be perceived as a threat by the state because—from the perspective of the state—a unified mass presence IS the threat.
State violence in response is often disproportionate because it’s a reassertion of dominance and power.

Guys, the number of normies that have no idea what’s going on or that they have skin in the game is astounding. Talk to your friends about the human trafficking disguised as deportations. Tell them about the horrors of the bill that passed the house. Highlight the federal agencies being stripped.

hi, cis folks!
if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.
if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵
