Democrats are voting with Republicans on bills that could harm trans kids. We have to make that unacceptable.
We can't give the trans panic instigators an inch particularly because it's all manufactured outrage. They needed a wedge issue after they killed Roe and this is what they've decided on.

All we should ever be talking about is Leonard Leo, tbh. Talking about Leonard Leo will convince more people we need court reform. That man bought the fucking Supreme Court.
Astonishing.
The only mention of “Loser Leonard Leo” in Kansas vote so far is Talking Points Memo.
Do legacy media reporters not know or are they in on the con & think Leo involvement is irrelevant?

Context: A group claiming to represent Seattle's entire "Black community" is holding a rally at city hall, saying that the firing of Police Chief Shon Barnes is a "civil rights" issue. Right-wing commentators like Jonathan Choe have eagerly gobbled up this narrative and are promoting it.

I'm not sure Democrats understand the shit people will endure to make sure a bunch of milquetoast dildos don't get elected only to insist that we "move on." They're acting like midterms are a lock. Dems need extraordinary turnout to account for massive disenfranchisement and I'm not sure they get it
it’s hard to explain how much shit like this has radicalized people. like i’m a white middle-aged broad who’s always been liberal but i’ve gone full-on “abolish ICE/reform scotus/the next dem candidate must commit to mass prosecutions” and you will not sway me from that position.
WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

Dear Dem leaders: If you must speak, express your condolences to Lindsey Graham's family. That's it. This isn't hard. They mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi and the murders of Minnesota Dem Melissa Hortman and her husband. They villainized ICE murder victims. Stop acting like these are normal times.

glad congress isn’t alive to see this
There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group.
Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250.

Donors were misled by Trump-backed Freedom 250, House Democrats allege
The lawmakers’ report alleges that Trump allies worked to divert funds away from America250, a bipartisan effort to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial. Freedom 250 denies the allegations.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

It’s literally more important than anything else right now because any laws or rights that the chucklefucks in Congress deign to give people of color or queer people can (and will) be undone by the Supreme Court.
