yeah i unfortunately saw the screenshot circulating cropped like this. the use of “protected classes” makes it seem like it’s talking about nondiscrimination cases in a place where trans people have applicable nondiscrimination law

this is a great piece from Joe!
Groundwork DSAIn a new piece, Groundwork Co-Chair Joe W. argues that socialists of all tendencies should embrace the sections of DSA's new platform that advocate for constitutional reform and the expansion of direct democracy - despite the performative shock of the establishment media class.

i deeply appreciate this and feel similarly about the struggle against occupation and genocide in Palestine. if a U.S. politician is willing to look past the atrocities we fund abroad, there’s nothing stopping them from selling out vulnerable constituents at home
ashley 🌹trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

i’ve had my disagreements with Markey—including over his refusal to go beyond “block the bombs” & commit to a total arms embargo on Israel—but there is a massive gap between him and Moulton. if you’re voting in the dem primary, Markey is the obvious choice

Another difference between Seth Moulton - only one of them has shown up at Trans Night of Remembrance. Only one of them has shown any consideration of trans folks as a constituency to be courted and reached out to, rather than dismissed, insulted, and demeaned.

Manisha KrishnanAuthors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...
this has to be the way. the elites in the political & media establishment have decided trans people don’t belong in their society. it’s time for the working class to show them it’s our society instead

more and more unions are realizing that socialists have labor’s back and can fire up union members, unlike the democratic party status quo

Last time I wrote about Rep. Decker, it was about the 130 different lobbyists who donated to her campaign. This time I'm diving into the time she repeatedly lied to the public, and explaining _why_ she did it: the way she views her job as a public official. letschangecambridge.us/articles/dec...

this is tangential but i can’t be the only one who reads AES as “actually existing socialism” every time at first glance
Parker MolloyThe Stevens campaign's whole insistence that she's more of a Michigander than AES is clearly just racism, especially since the two of them were literally born in the same city.

so DHS agents seized an anti cop city organizer, took his phone with no warrant or evidence of wrongdoing, and now the trump admin is charging him with federal crimes for not letting them look through the phone they stole
Zack WhittakerNew, by me: The Justice Department is prosecuting an American for allegedly providing U.S. border agents with a "duress" passcode that wiped the contents of his phone when they entered it. We've confirmed the phone was running GrapheneOS. Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260724...
