I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

This is a conversation between a Trump supporter and a human rights lawyer. Let this show how impossible it is to convince others another truth when their beliefs are on the line. Many refuse to admit wrong. Don’t be in that crowd. It’s okay to be mistaken. We all fall for things. 🙏🏻
I debated a Trump supporter, sticking to facts and proof, to see if he had any point at all?
What started as a curse laden initial message unsurprisingly ended in a racist petty tirade with subtle threats & devoid of facts—but with a critical lesson learned

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.”
They bend the knee without even being asked.

The reason why trans rights became an issue was because the US far right stumbled upon the potential virulence of transphobia and realised it was a useful wedge issue to undermine all the progress in rights for women and minorities.
When Obergefell was decided a decade ago, the Christian right immediately declared it the new Roe, pledging to eventually overrule it, even if that meant, like with Roe, they would spend decades chipping away at LGBTQ equality in a multitude of ways. They got a chip with Mahmoud v Taylor today

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

"Balance in journalism doesn’t mean giving equal weight to truth and lies, it means giving weight proportional to credibility... If one doctor out of a hundred dissents from the consensus, that’s not a “side” deserving 50% of the story. The era of false equivalence needs to end."
With the New York Times continuing its attack on trans people, I wrote about its failures and how Azeen Ghorayshi has led the charge to weaponize their coverage against the trans community and launder anti-trans talking points into the mainstream.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

This was 9 years ago. I had so much hope this day seeing hundreds of allies turnout to support trans kids in a conservative state. I never thought we would lose so much ground so quickly.
