Either they don't know what socialism is, or they fully do, but are too invested in preserving their own power (and money from corporate donors) to be fucking honest.

I'm betting it's the latter.

Took over 500 years to go from burning us to sharing antipasti with us. By 2525 they might even recognize us as real people!
NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Plus, this

One of the biggest studies ever done, showing that not only do we not have an advantage, we may have a disadvantage, commissioned by who? The IOC

Its not like they don't know this
Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, New Research Shows
An IOC-funded study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine earlier this month suggests transgender athletes could be at a physical disadvantage.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I am once again begging you to remember that "illegal" does NOT mean "impossible."

Today someone called and told me they don't understand how this illegal thing was done to them by police because it's illegal, so how is it possible they did it anyway?

Laws are PUNISHMENTS, not PREVENTIONS.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is most certainly going to be used for eugenics to screen people they view as genetically inferior from the US. It's also going to be used to target gender nonconforming people with expensive DNA tests.

If sex is so fundamental, why do they need a dystopian police state to enforce it?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
