After scrolling my discover feed, I'm feeling the need to repost this reminder:
Dan in March: Fuck anti-trans Democrats. Dan in August: it's problematic but the trans gotta go whaddya gonna do amiright 🤷🏻♂️
yeeeeah a guy who dated a 19 year old while in his 30s has ZERO business saying trans people shouldn't transistion until they're 25. i mean NO ONE has any business saying that. but ESPECIALLY that guy.
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
The people who are calling for better Democratic candidates are just trying to tell you all that you don't HAVE to choose between a shit sandwich and a maggot pie. Just because the corporate media has been putting someone on teevee doesn't make them your only choice.
The thing that keeps me coming back to the Newsom stuff is that Democrats who object to our saying we'd never vote for him are refusing to treat us as ordinary voters who need to be won over, like any other demographic.
Glad i left years ago
you misspelled "I will be holding public hearings immediately on RFK Jr.'s mismanagement of HHS, and even though we do not have the power of the majority, these hearings will be televised live and Republicans are welcome to join if they care about Americans' health even a tiny bit"
We keep telling you about Gavin. This is who he really is.
FML, this guy's gonna make me believe isn't he
I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
i had 70+ events so i can't breathe without one
ok, because i'm afraid i'd forget it and at 10 o clock i'd be wide awake waiting for the office to open at 7
i'm in a resmed support group on facebook and read cpap posts all the time and i STILL don't bring my machine to work....
oh he sleeps at work every day, but he's never used the cpap before at work. Also my reservoir tank is larger than his so I win (Seriously I dont get why the resmed 11 tank is so small compared to the 10)
Co-worker walking around showing everyone his new CPAP machine. I really don't understand people.
oh my god he thinks we use the heart to think
he tried to get both jobs and wound up with neither. i'm reminded of Aesop's fable with the dog and the bone and his reflection.
But enough about Gavin Newsom.
This fucking dude. Declares homelessness a crime, hates trans people, dabs in crypto memecoins, sends cops to occupy cities, posts AI slop about himself, shares worldview with the likes of Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.
a lot of folks live in captured areas & that’s beyond shitty. i know the above may not bear fruit for you. i also know there are always people doing something, even in captured spaces. if you’re able, that feels much better & does less harm than screaming into app of trans folks.
Actually, no, trans people do not "have the same rights as [you] do." I explained this already, but you decided to jump in with misogynistic slurs.
Clap outs have happened at other agencies since the start of the second Trump administration to show respect and admiration for true leaders as they depart agency buildings. They are a lovely gesture, but do not carry the same risks as a walk out.
how to lose my business
Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.
Somehow I feel like this is all Ronald Reagan’s fault.
Odd — meaning not odd at all — that the Senate rules they now feel they need to change were not at all a problem to them when they poleaxed Merrick Garland. Recall too that when Democrats has the majority and could have nuked the filibuster they didn't because The Institution and all that...
He deserves neither job. He has a poor lack of ethics and judgement.
This is the resist lib hero?
More than this is that they have been actively antagonistic.
Protest against genocide is not antisemitism. what a waste of money.
(Pardon my yelling) THE PRESIDENT IS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF ONLY OVER THE MILITARY, NOT OVER THE NATION. IT’S MERELY ONE OF THE OFFICE’S MANY ROLES, AND CONSTANTLY USING C-I-C AS SHORTHAND REINFORCES THE PREZ-AS-KING/CEO ERROR THAT GOT US HERE.
Everybody poops.
This is extremely funny
Then why are you partnering with AI companies? Why are you taking their money to bring AI into classrooms? I’ve been a union member since I was five. AI companies have stolen my work. This is a workers’ rights issue.
do they realize that what Newsom is doing NOW is aiding Trump into this bleak future they imagine? do they even care?
I guess you support Kristi Noem then. healthy.
"But they get millions of views!" the nazis had millions of supporters, NPR.
It’s worse. Yglesias knows how democracy works, but doesn’t like it. He’s playing the centrist in a time when the centrist’s role seems clearly to be to help the right shove fascism down the throats of the rest of the country.
*THIS* is your guys fucking hero?
Daily Wire reporter is asking this question. They are itching to lock up every trans person in the US and eradicate us.
I don’t wanna hear shit about shit about your opinions on trans women or trans people as a whole based off an obviously heinous crime. You see anyone using this an excuse to hurt trans women - you shut that shit down. The actions of one do not reflect on the many. Simple as.
the majority of americans dont give a shit about how people choose to live their life. it's a non issue the politicians are forcing on us. LET PEOPLE BE WHO THEY ARE. I will never vote for someone who doesn't believe that.
can't wait for him to turn all those trumpy memes on candidates more progressive than him.
Was listening to Forum on NPR driving home last night and they were doing a full segment on Newsom and his responses to Trump both on social and in action and the trans rights stuff came up only once (and from a listener!) and zero mention of his treatment of homeless people and their belongings
We have more than enough time and opportunity to not nominate newsom, who is a gross piece of shit. Defending newsom as the only presidential option in 2025 is mental illness
Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.
what's the slam here? most of us have been hired by stupid people at one point or another.
shit i spelled her name wrong.
funeral or no, she will always be Ashley "FAFO" Babbitt to me
she is one of my favorites. she didnt vote for him 3 times.
Technically Ashli Babbitt is the least annoying Trump supporter
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
Why did someone respond with "Fiona Apple has mental health issues." So? What a weird thing to say
I don't. the voices in my head tell me so.
restraints placed on them by who now? Congress? those motherfuckers? um ok
Do you want Minority Report? Because this is how you get Minority Report
time to fatten the little guy up until he's morbidly obese
“Please vaccinate my toddler. He smokes two packs a day.”
If you're a billionaire the literal least you can do is donate money to charity. Come on now.
Gavin Newsom, run in the Republican presidential primary if your going to sacrifice trans rights and homeless people for conservative votes. Flop on your face there and not in the general election after betraying your base.
just like maga mom used to make
Her name is now Taylor Swurt. It's canon now.
The shooter was trans. The shooter was a fan of Brenton Tarrant and Anders Breivik. One of these pieces of information hit the press and one of them didn't.
hence the Cracker in the logo
Isn’t Cracker Barrel’s real problem that they serve bad food?
I keep saying this.
They like fascism, they just don’t like Trump
they went with Make America Gavin Again for the G.
I got there with Pete Buttigieg years ago. His stans were everywhere. Fortunately I'm not high profile enough for the Newsom mob.
This is an insane thing to post in response to me saying that I'd like to have human rights. bsky.app/profile/stra...
My requirements for any Democrat running for president are simple: 1. Undo/reverse every single anti-trans policy the Trump administration has implemented. 2. Pledge not to further restrict trans people's rights. 3. Support the passage of the Equality Act and make it a priority.
I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!
I wonder if these pro-Newsom ghouls who flood my replies realize that all they're doing is making my stance against Newsom even firmer.
Dem voters/base - to Democratic Congressional Leadership - everyday.
"Noooooo don't talk about the factual history of events in a way that showcases why we're where we are today and how it's all been openly built up to allow for this even through the onset of Neoliberalism"
it really feels like a betrayal that the journalism industry essentially shifted overnight from "we have two rules: don't lie, and don't plagiarize" to "oh hell, just use the plagiarism machine to make shit up"
Enough about fucking Taylor Swift. FFS, she's just an oligarch who can sing in tune. Don't center that shit!
As a trans woman, I suppose I am a one-issue voter, if the 'issue' you're referring to is not being outlawed in society. 🤷♀️
This
for many years I've seen one party as evil and the other as complicit. I'm becoming more of a both parties are evil guy.
Democrats: Well the people must have wanted 2025 so we'll compromise.
if anything it will make project 2025 the status quo, and prevent project 2029? meh.
Electing democrats doesn’t mean undoing project 2025.
not every social media is clear cut as Nazi Twitter
it's gone???
#BlueMagaCult gonna #BlueMaga 🤦♀️🙄🤷♂️🤡💩
But I can’t ignore what brought him to power and that he was allowed to come back again. The greed of the Dems to not want to help when they had the chance. What did Biden do to help bring back Roe v Wade?
Yes. This!
heads
yea this dude 100% just wants to be in charge of the fascism
you can't make soval happen
the only people who think this have never driven home in 5 o clock traffic in 110 degree weather.
