I don't know what's worse; That he censored Bluesky like a teenage girl talking about a pop star she hates or that he censored the s but still spelled Bluesky wrong.

Obviously, but we need more candidates speaking like this to pull the party to the left.
There's no one in the party leadership saying anything like this.
This is one those things you see and you think "how much longer can @schumer.senate.gov let this guy go on?" but I actually think it's too late to stop him.
So, when a Democrat makes their only statement on trans issues about trans women in sports, they are saying that this is their priority on trans issues - not restoring our equality under the law but joining Republicans in eroding it.
So thereâs a thing Iâve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - theyâre constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that donât make any sense if youâre on here, and I think itâs a sign theyâre deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.
Lmfao
I'd argue repeatedly empowering MAGA arguments is going to help Trump and Republicans in the next election. They spent $260bil in anti trans ads last election. They'll do that again in 2026, and they'll have sound bites of Newsom agreeing with their propaganda to paint Dems as further out of touch.
Yes, he's still sanitizing the antitrans MAGA view, as are you, because you can't even acknowledge the anti trans shit Newsom says. Newsom has convinced a bunch of supposed liberals like you that the MAGA trans stances he takes are fine and normal.
Trump is open about his hostility. Meanwhile Newsom is open about his alignment with MAGA when it comes to trans issues and y'all come out of the woodwork to gaslight us to insist Newsom's words don't actually mean what to he says because he's blue. It's absurd. Y'all can't even acknowledge it.
Going on a MAGA media tour for 6 months, sanitizing their propaganda lies isn't fighting back regardless of how desperately you want to portray it as such.
It does not escape me that those of us who have been saying it was a genocide, since early days, are also the ones who correctly called what is happening here fascism, since early days. Things are pretty obvious if you are willing to look.
Hillary Cass is someone with no expertise in the subject who put out a propaganda piece based on vibes, where she dismissed mountains of evidence. You clearly don't understand how medical evidence is graded.
You seem to be dismissing mountains of evidence out of hand because it doesn't line up with your gut vibes.
Tangential but itâs notable that when California does things it gets reported as âNewsomâ and when Illinois does things it gets reported as âIllinoisâ
Sorry, you really think you're not making excuses for the healthcare of legal adults to be criminalized here?
Lmfao, you've spent hours talking down to trans people, insisting it's fine for us to die without healthcare, and you still want to pretend you support us.
You realize Gavin can fight the fascists without repeatedly going on their podcasts to regurgitate propaganda lies about trans people, right? The goal here is to get Dems to stop parroting right wing disinformation that's fueling hate against us.
The fact you're saying this right after arguing it's a non-issue to deny life saving medications to trans people for 7 years is wild. What you advocate for kills us.
You can't beat fascism by discarding the same minority the fascists spent $260billion demonizing. You just want your fascism headed by someone in blue.
It's not stripping rights to force trans people to not transition for an additional 7 years? To force a trans person to spend 7 additional years in distress, suicidal? You're being absolutely absurd. You just don't give a damn if we live or die.
Heinous shit like insisting it's fine for 25 year old adults to not be able to access prescription medications proven to save lives. What this is calling for leads to dead trans people. bsky.app/profile/home...
Not just children. She's fine with 25 year old adults not being able to access healthcare.
And we're telling you why it's actively alienating Dem voters and WILL cost you the election.
If you know what the US is capable of it's wild you're so eager to insist the government stripping rights from legal adults is a minor issue that shouldn't be fought. bsky.app/profile/home...
You're the one choosing to spend your time harassing trans people. The notion you're not a "real" hater is a lie you tell yourself to justify the heinous shit you say.
What has your whole temper tantrum been if not to defend Newsom? Are you just chomping at the bit to yell at trans people?
The big picture is that you're fine with throwing us to the wolves if you think it will save yourself. What you're not realizing is that doing so will lose Dems votes while not peeling off any red voters. Anti trans voters already have a party. It's a recipe for electoral disaster.
They're ramping up their rhetoric, and you're supporting a candidate going on right wing podcasts to regurgitate the propaganda that's fueling the hate.
Neither of those are in any way comparable.
Taking the rights of legal adults away is minor if they're trans? Y'all are just fascists in blue.
You realize trans people are fucked if the Dem party is also fronted by an open transphobe? Your candidate is eager to throw us to the wolves.
He's spent the last 6 months doing a right wing media tour repeatedly agreeing with MAGA talking points and laundering them to Dem audiences.
Yes, and Newsom is bending over backwards to agree with MAGA on trans issues.
You've lived long enough to become exactly the type of person younger you would protest and call out for blatant bigotry.
If Newsom's platform is that I suffer, then I will withhold my vote. If enough of us do it in close states, Rs will win the election and we all will suffer together. So we can all suffer together, or you can recognize that I'm a human being and start acting like it, and I'll help you win.
You just radically moved the goalposts and you're still wrong đ¤Ł

Trans people don't have a 40% suicide rate. You're just regurgitating lies to justify your hate.
There is a trans ban regardless of how desperately you want to obfuscate.

Here's Gavin saying 25 year old trans adults are too young to access medical care. Stop pretending this is just about sports. bsky.app/profile/illc...
Gavin Newsom has been doing right wing media for the last 6 months insisting 25 year old trans adults shouldn't have access to medical care. He's gone far beyond sports and y'all actively ignore it.
Newsom has been doing a right media tour for the last 6 months where he's insisting 25 year old trans adults shouldn't have access to medical care. You're not paying attention.
This isn't really about winning or policy, it's essentially revenge. The left needs to suffer. The trans people need to suffer. The poor will suffer. Everyone will suffer until they come crawling back. That's the actual democrat platform.
Don't send government forces to attack homeless people, for a start. And don't support the politicians who push for it.
It's so good.
As such, I'm concerned that Democratic donors, who are very publicly flirting with abandoning the principle of my equality, might be secretly funding creators and potentially influencing what they say about trans issues or anti-trans Democratic candidates.
Let's talk about why we hate fascism. I'll go first: As a trans person I've seen my equal rights stripped away and I want to be a free and equal member of society.
Fucking Neil.
MAGA Jared Golden's beloved tariffs working exactly as predicted. #MEpolitics
Northeast secession when?
Nah, no one is forcing Newsom to attack homeless people and destroy their belongings. Stop making excuses for his actions just because he's affiliated with the blue party.
We already went over this. You're regurgitating lies while actively ignoring factual info provided to you.
Homelessness is a policy choice. Newsom is trying to hide his failure here.

We'd love to, but you're too busy supporting a candidate openly saying we have too many rights. That's the problem with running an anti trans candidate when there's already an anti trans party. You're going to kill voter turnout without winning over any red voters.
Not a great look that all at once a bunch of people associated with Chorus are all releasing similar statements that attack the journalists who wrote the Wired article and not the content of the article itself. It's eroding the trust a lot of people place in the concept of "independent" media
Vulnerability? You need a brain to get vaccinated.
Self preservation is a powerful motivator. Meanwhile every number you provided has been pulled out of your ass.
Where are you getting 600k? I just showed you evidence there's 2.1million trans adults in the US.
It's not a made up number. And no, Trump didn't get 30% of the trans vote. You're pulling numbers out of your ass while insisting I'm the one making up facts. williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications...
If you run Newsom who's actively spent the last 6 months attacking trans people and laundering MAGA propaganda you shouldn't be surprised when you lose 2 million trans votes plus a bunch more who wont compromise with his bigotry. Newsom is the one splitting the voters while not picking up red votes.
Yes, all those poll much higher. So you're not winning over voters with antitrans bigotry. But you are losing the 2 million+ adult trans voters, along with the votes of those who care about us. That's enough to swing the election.
If the most important thing is winning then nominating a candidate not alienating wide swaths of Democrats is imperative.
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
Thank you for calling this out.
Mostly just frustrated and hating the world.
'I wonder why all those people are furious at Susan Collins.' #MEpolitics
Why y'all lying about the fascists? What they actually said is bad enough without inventing claims.
âKennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?â Dr Bill Foege
I'm going to be honest if the only thing keeping the United States from becoming a fascist autocracy was that no college professors post the word "diversity" on social media for 24 hours you should just move somewhere else because that scale of message discipline is not humanly possible
Newsom is a transactional figure who's actively laundering Trump and Co's $260billion in propaganda against trans people. You can't beat fascism by elevating figures going on media tours insisting that the fascists have a point. The transaction going on here is working in the fascists' favor.
And you think us lowly trannies calling out his bigotry is going to change that? He's made it abundantly clear he doesn't give a fuck what we think and wants to go ahead with removing the rights of trans adults. What you're pissed off about is that we dare to speak poorly of this asshole you adore.
We're not destroying anyone. You act as though people speaking out against his laundering of bigotry has any tangible effect on what he's going to do in the short term.
Your premise is flawed. I don't see Newsom helping in the midterms. I see him alienating wide swaths of Democrat voters.
We're not shitting on everyone. We're shitting on a specific person who's spent the last 6 months going on a right wing media tour reaffirming right wing propaganda and laundering it to Dem audiences.
You don't understand how trans people have been losing rights for years while people like you fall over backwards making excuses for Dems not only failing to fight back, but empowering the right wing propaganda that gets the fascists elected.
You're "admitting" something that's not true.
Chris Kluwe on Gavin Newsom and his treatment of the trans community: www.thehandbasket.co/p/chris-kluw...
anyone who uses tragedy to attempt to take away trans health care is a genocidal maniac who wants to inflict pain on an entire community
Daily Wire reporter is asking this question. They are itching to lock up every trans person in the US and eradicate us.
If we were on the same side you wouldn't be devoting energy to telling trans people to be quiet about politicians who are active threats to us.
I don't think people realize because they've dehumanized Palestinians to the point of accepting this cruel absurdity that we're setting a standard where mass atrocities are acceptable if you just say the magic word "Hamas"

I tried, but you blocked the person who's post with video I'm trying to link đ. Maybe stop being so block happy when you don't even know the topic you're arguing about.
Newsom has been going on right wing podcasts saying 25 year old trans adults are too young to access healthcare. You have daughters, this is the same exact bodily autonomy argument conservatives use to ban abortion. If our rights fall, it sets a precedent for your daughter's rights as well.
You're the one who is happy to vote against our interests.
You're not supportive of our rights when you're openly saying you'll vote for a candidate who wants to take away rights we currently have.
Newsom won't take us back to square one. Newsom is advocating for anti trans policies that go further than they currently do under Trump.
