To be fair I still view Talarico as an ally for us in the LGBTQ+ community. Some people don't see how he carefully chose his words.
Sand & Turek are transphobic and I get it much more over them than I do with Talarico.
Hell even Cuellar voted for Trumps immigration policies. I hate him so much. However he's still better than a Republican. I hate it here I really do but that's how elections work. I've never seen a Republican be better on these issues than a Democrat. So vote Democrat. Participate in primaries. Etc.
I need people to understand the reason why I get so obsessive over primaries during primary season is so that we beat conservative democrats.
Primaries are for the purity tests, general elections we vote blue for harm reduction reasons as progressives.
The last election where people protested their vote because a candidate held views that were unfavorable... We got Trump.
I get it, Turek and Sand have questionable views on trans people but even they are more movable on the issues than the Republican are.
I mean come on.
I encourage all Iowan Democrats to vote third party, or refuse to vote at all this November.
@turek4iowa and @RobSandIA are not fit to run under the democratic banner until they apologize for their transphobic and bigoted comments.
to those that has ever said that I don’t believe in women, here’s your reminder that I’ve believed Rihanna since 2009. since I was 9 years old. and I just turned 26. I’ve believed her for 17 years now. I’ve supported her for 17 years now.
and I will never forget what Chris did to her, and I will never understand how the man still has a career. and I will also never understand anyone that still supports this fucking piece of shit.
so if you’re reading this, you follow me and you’re a fan of Chris Brown… please get the fuck lost and never come back.
There's currently a lawsuit playing out in court over the Medicaid changes in the big beautiful bill.
If we are successful here it may save millions of people of losing their Medicaid.
ken paxton asked texas for a list of everyone who changed the sex on their driver's license. james talarico said sports should be "safe and fair." the best thing for trans rights this year is beating paxton
@marinathekat3 Call your Department of human services or whoever administers these benefits. They helped me get this exemption when I didn't think I'd qualify one either because I'm still fighting for disability with social security with an attorney.
@KoolHandLuka No it's my State not Trump.
The human services were like you show in the system as someone with a disability and aren't able to work. So she made sure it applied for my individual case.
Chris Brown’s two-decade R&B legacy receives a historic honor as Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett presents him with an official entry in the U.S. Congressional Record.
The recognition honors his career, musical impact and contributions to the genre.

Paxton wants trans people dead.
Talarico isn't even against trans sports as long as safety and fairness is protected. He was very careful with his wording. Same with the surgery question. It was calculative & specific to appease the right but while not abandoning trans minors completely.
The Fox interview was also very edited and clipped.
Talarico is debating Ken Paxton and I wonder how he will answer the question live.
People with small brains say that you have to campaign the same in Texas as you would in Michigan or California.
People who have nuance and know how campaigns work know you don't campaign the same in one State or district by district.
So obtuse.
