Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic
2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.
www.liberalcurrents.com
I took on the mythology of the "Kamala is for they/them" ad. Since the morning after the 2024 election, trans people have been scapegoated for Harris' loss, with that infamous ad at the centre of recriminations.
But a deeper analysis shows that voters are largely indifferent to trans people.

Are they also investigating Rabbi Schlanger and his comments on genocide in Gaza? He sides with Netanyahu and has posed with missiles. Wild when we only look at one view.

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

I promise if you’re not Jewish and don’t know any Jews quite well you really do not understand the level of justified paranoia baked into most public Jewish gatherings: Security at swimming lessons at the JCC, off duty police outside a bar mitzvah as a favour, etc. It shocked me.
Synagogues were safe until they weren’t. JCC were safe until they weren’t. Public beaches, public parks…risk is something I think about every single time I take my family to school, pray, exist as Jews
My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

Well, at least today proves so many right. Its more about antisemitism than anything else. Its sad. My mentions are dying because I said we need to tone down the rhetoric.
Why have I got people raging in my comments about me stating the objective fact that the world’s Jewish community is small???
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say if me saying that makes you angry enough to moan in my replies in response to that post you may have a problem with Jews 🤷🏽♀️

There's a joke about the origins of many Jewish holidays: "They tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat."
But some of us *were* killed in those days, and some were killed today.
This is a holiday about hope, persistence, and light shining when it shouldn't be possible.
May all the killing end.

Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

I don't often comment on these on open social media because I don't want to contribute to informational chaos and misinformation amidst a bloody tragedy. But when the dust settles and the facts become clear... all that's left is grief and tears you can't see.
