It is really hard not to be a doomer about elected Democrats using the phrase ”transgender ideology”

Democrats' refusal to hold Amy Acton accountable for her recent anti-trans pivot enabled this.

You cannot ask trans people to just ignore or look past stuff like this, you need to stand with us now. This gutter bigotry is unacceptable and disqualifying.

Candidates like this *are* the greater evil
Holy shit.

Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.

"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."

This is getting out of control.

BREAKING: Human rights and anti-war organizations are launching a campaign to demand the top Biden officials who promoted or lied about the Gaza genocide be boxed out from future Democratic administrations and other liberal spaces.

Rashida Tlaib & Chris Rabb signed on.
More expected to join.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I took this quiz recently and was also baffled by this specific question, I've never heard a single one of those expressions in my life. It did still accurately pinpoint where I'm from though!
This question from a quiz designed to match how you speak to which part of America you come from blew my mind. The devil is beating his wife? Monkey wedding?? Correct me if I'm wrong but Brits have no word for it, just "ooh is there a rainbow?" (I speak like I'm from Rhode Island by the way.)

this whole bullshit about 'Mamdani should skip the 9/11 memorial' is that he would also be lambasted widely if he did in fact skip it. literally they've set up a no-win scenario and its just straight islamophobia and racism

it’s very validating that there’s no one who’s extremely pro-Israel but then otherwise a normal, kind person. it’s all guys who are disgusted by children’s hospitals.

Aide: “Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.”

Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate race could decide control of the chamber.

Yet some centrist Democrats are openly working to sink his campaign — because they’d rather hand the seat to a Trump-backed Republican than let the Left gain a foothold in their party.

Ken Paxton is saying Texans need to take a deeper look at the background of the candidates, which is why he's encouraging everyone to Google "Ken Paxton indictments" and "Ken Paxton divorce" and "Ken Paxton pedophile" to see that he has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of
Ken Paxton on James Talarico: “This guy has not been exposed for his record of eight years. The media doesn't cover it…Once we have the resources to expose his views, there's no way he's going to win Texas.”

Note on pieces like these, not only is there no suggestion that Republicans should distance themselves from him, there's no hint that there's a reason to. No recap of his CSAM machine. No inflammatory racist quotes. No mention of the DOGE death toll. No history of his fabulist quotes.

Across a whopping 19 articles published by the New York Times on Mamdani's views of Israel-Palestine since January 2026, Palestinian New Yorkers are quoted twice, a pathetic 3% of the quotes total.

Overall, critics of Mamdani's views on this issue are quoted 2x the amount of times as supporters.

once again reminding everyone that the media lied to voters in 2024 and told them that trump's immigration was biden's actual immigration policy (strengthen the border, expel criminals) and that biden's policy was "open borders"
