Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives.
It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

When I was on TikTok and had about 20k followers, talking about mental health and horror movies, a work-place proximity associate walked up and whispered to me "I loved your videooooo" and I was like oh noooooooooooo.
at my last job, one of my coworkers walked into my office and showed me one of my own tweets and said "is this you?" and it was like the worst thing that's ever happened to me

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Jewish zionists traded their soul for whiteness for European Jews, but as Israel is proving itself politically unreliable that whiteness is being revoked. The reward for compliance is not safety nor happiness, it is just complicity. Whiteness is built on antisemitism, we must abolish it to be free

This means that Epstein had people arguing for Trump’s defense AND for his prosecution at his second impeachment trial.
Democrats stay silent on Stacey Plaskett, an ex-Republican who texted Epstein in Congress

This is, uh, not a smart move. Section 230 has its flaws, but repealing it without having an *extremely solid* plan in place to replace the protections for free speech it offers is tantamount to banning the LGBTQ+ community and others from public online spaces.
