The only correct way to "triangulate" your position with trans people (or any marginalized group) is that "I don't understand everything about this or what these folks go through every day but nobody should be discriminated against or deprived of their constitutionally protected basic human rights"

If you abandon trans people, why should I reasonably expect that you won't abandon another vulnerable group or actively work to marginalize people like me because you want to placate your donors and "reach out to the other side of the aisle" that's agitating for televised pogroms?

Judging by the merits of his proposal, Graham Platner is helping Big Oil commit climate arson. America's gas and diesel taxes are already an order of magnitude smaller than every single developed country not named Russia or Canada. That's why there is no urgency in this country to decarbonize!

I really don't know what's worse:

that I'm not seeing this radicalization of the DC press corps reflected in their reporting, or that
Not even a shooting at the WHCD, "quiet, piggy", being used as a decoy on Air Force One, or the AP being banned from the Oval Office could move these people
