Emmanuel explicitly says he wants to shift the topic away from trans rights but he does so in the worst possible way.

The solution is to vocally affirm trans rights and immediately ask why Republicans are so laser-focused on the genitals of 13-year-olds. Don't shit on college students instead!

(Not that I’m a Democrat, just that the divide between left-wing voters that care about climate and human rights and the major “left” party in this country continues to grow every minute, and every opportunity they have to capture left-wing voters is an opportunity they use to capitulate instead)

When a group of high-profile Dems reduces the struggle to protect the rights of marginalized groups to part of a parenthetical list of things not to focus on, they don’t just harm the party. They harm people.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

With so much talk on here about what should and should not be said in the wake of the shooting, I just keep thinking back to what he would say about me if me or some other trans woman had been executed today.

It would have been very ugly and received absolutely no pushback or condemnation.

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.
