@aoc.bsky.social - I hope you are ready to primary @schumer.senate.gov and you have my vote and many others’ if you do! Whether he engineered this shameful capitulation behind the scenes or just has zero ability to get his colleagues to hold the line - he needs to go.

This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost.

why can’t he just pretend Mamdani is Trump and do nothing
Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House.

Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party:

No I very much am contesting the central claim: “Lifesaving” is a perfectly reasonable way to describe a treatment that reduces depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation in a population with high rates of all three!

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Which is another reason why the Confessore article is so infuriating as an attorney who has done this work. The movement didn't abandon the slow methodical approach that won Bostock, they were forced to respond to an existential blitz on trans rights framed in far right terms.

A group of men violently assaulted a transgender veteran in Seattle walking home from work. They cited Trump's trans military ban as they beat her.

One of the perpetrators was already wanted for domestic violence and was previously charged with a hate crime.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.

Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

We cannot stay silent.

How the fuck are you supposed to find a missing trans kid without using the name they would be using for themselves?
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power.

This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...
