And no anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans provisions. "Protections against lawlessness" are NOT enough.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · Sep 18

Let me just say a simple thing.

Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.

If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

I wish I had the words to make people see me as human. To break past the dehumanization. The words that would make everyone understand if they just heard them. I keep imagining there’s some magic arrangement of words I know that could do it - even as I know I can’t. I just got to try and hope.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting

Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

Writing something up

I don’t endorse extrajudicial murder, especially as it looks like it will be used to justify further harm on trans people and others. And I’d be lying if I said there isn’t a part of me, watching a video of a man bleeding out on social media, that feels some measure of empathy—even though that man would have gleefully watched me die the same way, and in fact actively campaigned for it, for all trans people, institutionally and personally. But I don’t feel sadness. The world is better without him in it—even if I wouldn’t have chosen the way he went, I won’t shed a tear for a man who dedicated his life to making mine shorter. He was a Nazi in a nice suit, and the only thing respectable about him now is the silence he finally left behind.
What’s enraging is watching the political establishment scramble to lionize him. Not just Trump and his cronies trying to build a martyr out of a Nazi, but mainstream figures too: Ezra Klein praising him for “doing politics the right way,” Gavin Newsom saying we should “honor Charlie’s memory” by continuing his “good-faith debate.” Fuck off. The only reason you can say that is because Kirk played his bigoted game in a suit, looking respectable while calling for the imprisonment and eradication of Muslims, Jews, trans people, queer folks, the homeless, women, BIPOC, everyone who didn’t fit his fascist vision.
Meanwhile, anyone who so much as acknowledges that Kirk was “controversial” loses their jobs. MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd got canned. Trans writer Gretchen Felker-Martin lost her Red Hood comic for making the exact kind of biting joke that’s her entire career—she literally wrote Manhunt, a book where TERFs get murdered in an apocalypse. Even I, for simply posting on Bluesky that I “dishonor” Charlie Kirk’s memory by living my life joyously, got flagged and briefly censored for being “rude.” That’s the rot of “centrism”: pretending to hold the middle ground while tilting the scales in fascism’s favor.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries.

Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross.

Protect trans folks.

Damn this is cool. Someone made a Android mainboard replacement for the Q20. It fits perfectly inside the existing phone. Uses the same display but upgrades the camera and switches to USB C. It feels so good to hold blackberry again. The soft touch back feels amazing
