Alt text: Screenshot of a news excerpt quoting U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill. The text says he described “transgenderism” as a “disease” and condemned what he called predators pushing it onto children. A block quote follows: “Transgenderism is not only a disease, it’s a dark distortion of natural order and God-ordained gender,” Gill told The Dallas Express. He continued, “This woke, weird ideology is mutilating children and being shoved down their throats by predators in education and media. Those who further entrap the young and vulnerable should face consequences.”

Also the work: erasing culture and replacing it with slop. It’s a fascist project, full stop.

These kinds of fictions were already showing up in classrooms by then. The Houston Independent School District required educators in some schools flagged as underperforming to use district-provided teaching materials generated partly with AI. One worksheet asked students to compare AI-generated imitations of Harlem Renaissance art in which the faces of Black-appearing characters were distorted, prompting a backlash among some community members. (A spokesman for the district said that the AI creations weren’t so different from real Harlem Renaissance art with abstract faces and that teachers could flag problematic AI-generated material.)

If they're so confident they don't need LGBT people & certainly not need us enough to even ask their elected officials to stop antagonizing us, which is the bare minimum effort, they could at least leave us alone & shut the fuck up about it.

Is defund the police a Democratic party policy, yes or no

So if the centrist dems will still vote for the dem, there is not really a problem as for left-leaning republicans, every one of those we lose can be made up for by activating a voter who exists

you're wrong about far left policies turning voters off. unwavering support of Israel turns voters off but that was never abandoned.

What turns off voters are right wing extremists pretending to “centrists” like you.

but like who ran on "defund the police" and do you expect individual activists who show up at protests or post online to be perfectly on-message and if they are not is this somehow the party's fault because the party fucking *hated* that slogan, didn't use it, didn't run it it

And to all the people doubting me, here’s a far right propaganda video posted by a far right Republican that does not at all make the point I’m trying to make

at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!

It does not seem good that a sizable portion of the political and media elite would rather cook their brains on a white nationalist website than have to engage with criticism from the left.

Literally this exact same comment directed at a Jewish person would be correctly considered to be gutter anti-Semitism, yet somehow when aimed at a Muslim it’s OK

Pretty sure the same people who think they can threaten Muslims with meat would also lose their shit if you told them there's no actual war on Christmas
