    We might actually have Republicans willing to vote on issues involving the Epstein files, and the reach and funding of ICE and these people are…(checks notes) are wasting time on something no republican will even look at.

    These people don’t want to do the work. They need to be primaried.

    I’m all for trans rights but right now this is just a fucking puppet show.

      Trans folks, especially teens and kids, need to see someone in power fighting for them. It’s necessary to have some hope to avoid suicide. So it is good in that regard

      However for myself, I do not trust the democrats to actually follow through on any trans protections. It feels disingenuous. Why didn’t they go to bat for us before the election? Why is newsom spouting anti-trans rhetoric? It feels like theater, remind the alphabet to not get too radicalized and actually throw off our oppressors

      I vehemently defend teans rights. Was kneed in the head by a cop at a protest for trans rights. But, I agree. Democunts are doing more identity politics **, rather than even attempt to stop thr fascism.

      ** trans rights are not identity politics. The selective weaponization of trans rights in this moment, is.
