Astonishingly snide piece that once again reflects the gender and race biases inherent in this phalanx of self-styled "progressive" Sanders supporters. Saying women, POC and LGBTQ who were the actual folks at NN19 in Philly don't matter is just so elitist.
jacobinmag.com/2019/07/hahnem…
Do these folks even know any actual working class or poor people? Or that #Philly is THE poorest big city in America? Seems not, because 80% of America's working class are women and POC.
I did this investigation last year--nothing has changed.
damemagazine.com/2018/04/12/wom…
I spent a month researching and interviewing for this @damemagazine investigation into women and poverty. How many know that 1 in 8 women is living in poverty, or that 1 in 17 women lives on less than $2 a day: in America? In #Philly, it's 1 in 3.

What an absolutely grotesque and morally bankrupt thread 📌📌📌 Reducing the corruption and outright criminality of Trump to a distasteful handwave whilst pearl clutching over Kavanaugh typifies how the GOP sees itself as the party of maintaining str8 white male ascendancy.
1/
Bahnsen argues weakly, and without even a soupcon of evidentiary support, that progressive politics are the problem because of the Senate judiciary hearings on Bork and Kavanaugh--which is frankly just dull-witted. He basically blames "progressives" for Trump's ascendancy.
2/
But also, Bahsen ignores POC entirely and even dismisses crimes against white girls like the teenaged Christine Blasey Ford. Bahsen even sidesteps Clarence Thomas. Why note Kavanaugh and leave out Thomas/Hill? Lazy thinking and bad tropes.

Co-sign.

Raising the minimum wage will take millions of American women--80% of minimum wage workers--out of #poverty.
1 in 8 women lives in poverty due to low wages.
#RaiseTheWageAct would change so many lives.
Call your senators and tell them to vote against gendered poverty.
If you want to know who is making minimum wage in America and why, my investigation here explains it in detail. #RaiseTheWageAct won't just lift women out of poverty, it will also lift their kids, as many single mothers live on min wage jobs.
damemagazine.com/2018/04/12/wom…
The right claims no one was meant to live on #MinimumWage jobs. Yet that is happening all over America and it is creating a distinctly gendered poverty.
#RaiseTheWageAct will change millions of women's lives.

This whole thread may be too philosophically-politically in the weeds for many, and you might not want to read the speech, which is long, BUT someone should read this to Grandpa #Biden, because THIS is the future of the #GOP: Young, smart, committed nationalists/nativists.
1/
#Biden claims Trump is an aberration, that when he is president [sic], the #GOP will have this magical epiphany and will go back to being some kindly moderates that Biden remembers but who never actually existed with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt sans the war.
2/
Keep in mind that the most strident Trump supporters in the House and Senate this week were also the youngest.

This #Hawley speech is 100% Nazism from our own Senate. Unvarnished, but framed within an intellectualized style but that uses the standard anti-Semitic code words.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

1/n
CW: #Transphobia, #ConversionTherapy, #Zucker, #Religiously #driven #zealotry

2/n
So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing
to dig all those things out is because I have assessed the situation and decided I could not live with myself if even more people got hurt because of such a despicable person. I would like to state that, for all intents and purposes, proof is available but I cannot post it on

1/ I think some political journalists are fundamentally misreading leftward shifts in the Democratic party; namely, I think many are over-attributing any leftward shift to Bernie Sanders.
2/ There are at least two interacting factors here that many seem to be missing out on. The first is that the Democratic party has been shifting leftward for a decade now (if not longer). The second is the increased enfranchisement of folks who have been historically marginalized
3/ To be clear: when I say “leftward movement” or progressive change, I’m not necessarily talking about “leftist movement.” I’m talking more generally about strengthening of the social safety net, as well as, importantly advancing/enforcing social justice.

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...
