Hi
@MattWalshBlog
, this isn’t you wishing death on trans people is it? You need to come out and denounce this kind of rhetoric or we can only assume that you support it.
@AnaKasparian
I really don’t understand why you’re still tweeting about this. How many times a day are you being referred to as “birthing person” in real life?
Knowing the intense scrutiny & hate trans people are facing rn, along w/the hundreds of anti-trans bills, couldn’t you just not?
@MattWalshBlog
This is nonsense. There is nothing evil about being trans. Yes, some trans people do bad things, but that is not an inherent characteristic of transgender people.
What exactly is inherently evil about being transgender
@MattWalshBlog
? Your rhetoric is dangerous.
@apb_710
The cherry on top is she’s a transphobe. 🍒 Not entirely shocking, but she faces zero repercussions for posting transphobic shit on her social media.
#EndQualifiedImmunity
An unhoused, trans friend had to turn down a job because it was outside the curfew hours of Project Roomkey. This is one of the many reasons why someone experiencing homelessness may reject the offer of restrictive, temporary housing in Los Angeles.
@MattWalshBlog
They put one trans person on a beer can and you’re losing your mind making claims that it’s proof of trans people being the most privileged group in the history of the world. Calm down and breathe, maybe have a beer.
Undercover LAPD just violently arrested two protesters and a bystander as we were leaving the Free Palestine March. Wouldn’t communicate what they were being charged with. Moments later a swarm of cops ran in and brutally and violently treated those they were arresting. They…
Incredibly disappointed in the CA State Assembly. We had a chance to have universal healthcare in California, and they blew it. We only needed 41 of 56 Dems to vote yes and they ran the clock. The bill is dead.

@MattWalshBlog
So you’re viewing this as a political attack rather than what it is -commit a crime, pay the consequences. Whatever happened to the “Law and Order” y’all claim to care so much about?
@MattWalshBlog
The actual narcissism lies in expecting your loved ones to live their lives according to you.
Let people live how they want to live so long as they’re not actively harming others.
This is so shameful
@Dodgers
-we DO NOT cave to homophobia and transphobia in LA. I will not be attending this event since we’re not all welcome. I stand with the Sisters, who have done incredible advocacy work for decades.
@benshapiro
4-year olds aren’t medically transitioning. Socially perhaps, and that’s their prerogative, but puberty blockers, HRT, & surgeries occur after puberty onset. If we’re talking about circumcision or intersex genital mutilation, that happens to infants & is indeed nonconsensual.
Pride is a protest,
#Pride
should be free. Instead of
@lapride
charging $85 +service fees (which is inaccessible to so many folks in our historically, financially-marginalized community) they should be organizing to protest the 300+ anti-LGBTQIA bills introduced this year alone.
@MattWalshBlog
You call for genocide in the name of saving children yet you don’t give a damn about victims of systemic church abuse and gun violence. Eradicating trans people will not save the kids, but your fascist ideology will be the conduit for the fall of the US.
Nancy Pelosi has been in office since I was 1.
Adam Schiff has been in office since I was 14.
I’m 35 now, and it’s abundantly clear to me that we need fresh, new leadership that will keep us out of war, fight for universal healthcare, and actually address the climate crisis.
Looks like we might be advancing to the November General Election after all! NYT is reporting 77% of precincts reporting, but NBC is reporting 99%! This would be the first time the 11-term incumbent faces a challenger from the left. ✊✊
@RepMTG
It’s disgusting that your bill allows for and encourages genital mutilation of intersex children, while using trans people as pawns in your fear-mongering power grab. Shame on you

Hi Matt, you’ve likely been using “they” singular as a gender-neutral pronoun your entire life.
Eg: You’re in a public place, find someone’s phone, and return it to customer service.
“Hi, someone left their phone, I hope they come back for it.”
It’s not hard to comprehend.
Love that the US will be accepting 100,000 refugees from Ukraine. Now do the same for Yemen, Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, Palestine, Myanmar, Syria, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Venezuela, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. All refugees deserve refuge.
@MattWalshBlog
So you agree, we should end the nonconsensual practices of circumcision and mutilation of intersex children?
Btw, gender-affirming surgeries are limited to teens, not young children, and those instances are rare and require parental & doctor consent.
WATCH: “If we can spend nearly a trillion dollars on the military - we can spend money on things like M4A, the GND, tuition free college & a lot of things we actually need here in this country.”

I would venture to say hundreds of anti-trans bills moving through state & federal legislatures, and calls for eradication, are more than “the slightest pushback.”

Trans people don’t believe they’re God.
We believe we shouldn’t be dictated by yours.
Freedom of Religion also means Freedom from Religion.
@MattWalshBlog
Pssssst. Happy families with same-sex couples and trans people exist. Often even after one person transitions. It must be shocking for you to learn this.
@JoyVBehar
Yes, so tell me why 4 different states are only allowing Biden as the Democratic Primary Election candidate when at least two other qualified Democrats are running?
Regardless of final results, I am extremely proud of what our little leftist campaign has accomplished with so little. We had 0.1% of the funding resources as the incumbent but we’ve made a huge crack in the establishment.
@MayorOfLA
How can you say “never again” when the
@MayorOfLA
2020-2021 budget includes a $154 million increase for LAPD pay while making cuts to housing, jobs, and homelessness programs?
I’m running for Congress in 2024.
CA-30 deserves a community-centered, people-powered representative who rejects corporate influence and fights for policies that benefit all of us.
LET’S GO!!
In 2020, we lost our primary election by less than 1%.
When we win the June 7 primary election, it will be historic bc it will be:
-The 1st time a trans/non-binary person advances to a GE for US House.
-The 1st time Adam Schiff faces a challenger from the left in 20+ years.
@RepMTG
“It calls for the protection of trans people’s rights, namely housing, medical care, safety, and economic security rights.”
WOW!!…housing, healthcare, safety, AND economic security?!
…so “dangerous” 🙄🙄🙄
At the Glendale School Board meeting to speak for LGBTQIA+ folks rn and we’ve been informed by GPD that we cannot leave the building. Someone said there was a stabbing, but unconfirmed rn.
Ok since we’re talking about the Real Friends of Weho, I was their real life server & on-screen server in a scene that they didn’t pay me for, and production only left me 15% after spending two hours with them and giving up all my other tables. 🫠 (the guys were nice tho)
Just witnessed LAPD go through a gate onto private property and detain someone without a warrant in Echo Park. They physically forced him out and into a cop car. I stayed with the family who said LAPD has been harassing them for years

Single-payer healthcare could actually be a reality in CA! AB1400 passed the appropriations committee today & is moving to the floor despite insurance companies pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ lobbying against it. Call your CA assemblymember to demand they vote yes on AB1400.
It just keeps getting worse for poor people in LA. Can’t afford rent. Can’t sleep in a park. Can’t sleep in a car. Now introducing: Can’t have a bike.

Corporate influence, lobbyists, and the politicians who take their money ruined it for 40 million people. Time for an overhaul of our elected representatives.
With more than 7,000+ votes than Kennedy it’s become apparent that we are advancing to the General Election and we are declaring victory!
@CNN
&
@nytimes
called the race last week, but we wanted one additional election results update to be certain. 🧵
We’re now even more secure in the 2nd place position with a 6,100+ vote lead over Kennedy. The race has not been called yet, but it’s becoming apparent that we’ll be challenging Schiff from the left in the General Election! Please consider volunteering with us or donating!

I spoke with a delegation of LGBTQ+ advocates from Vietnam less than 48 hours ago, and I can’t shake what one of them said about the US:

parents, PLEASE check your children’s halloween candy this year. i just opened my son’s snickers and there was a drag queen running for Congress inside. i feel sick
The silence from supposed left-wing politicians and LGBTQIA+ allies on the “eradicate transgenderism” video and the 450+ anti-LGBTQIA+ bills moving through the US, is disheartening at best. Please stand with us when we need you. (We need you now.)
#TransRightsAreHumanRights
We don’t need “access” to healthcare, we already have access. The problem is healthcare is too expensive for too many people. We need universal healthcare, no strings attached. A congressperson with pharmaceutical stocks (👇) will not fight for that. I will.
Everyone deserves quality health care.
That's why I'm an original cosponsor of the Health Equity and Accountability Act, which includes large parts of my bills to root out biases and expand access to lifesaving care.
Let's make our health care system work for everyone.
@RepAdamSchiff
On any given night there are tens of thousands of people experiencing homelessness in our very own district, with double digit % increases every year. What have you done to alleviate homelessness in CA-30
@RepAdamSchiff
?
Do not use unhoused people to virtue-signal about Trump.
@JoeBiden
We don’t need “reducing healthcare costs” we need Universal Healthcare. We can afford it, and y’all can make it happen, but for some reason you won’t.
The latest election results update puts us firmly in second place with a lead over Kennedy of more than 3,000 votes! Now’s a good time to kindly ask you to consider donating to our campaign. We’re going to need more corporate-free dollars to take on Raytheon & Lockheed Martin.
This is absolutely infuriating. Please read this story, but be warned it keeps getting worse as you read it. Another example of police brutality in LA County. All over an air freshener.
Remember when California almost had universal healthcare this year, and we only needed 41 of 56 CA Democrats to vote yes, but they ran the clock and the bill died? I do.
Wow,
@AnaKasparian
really has a bad take on this. Ana, have you actually ever been to a temporary housing project? I’m certain YOU wouldn’t want to stay in a place that only allows YOU to leave from 10am-10pm, only allows you to bring 2 bags of belongings, no guests or pets Etc.
While TYT-investor Jeffrey Katzenberg was lobbying the LA City Council to pass an anti-camping ordinance targeting LA's homeless, Ana Kasparian was ranting against homeless camps for creating "crime" and "open air drug markets."
(Thank you again
@dianebullock
for finding this).
If I had $4,000,000,000 and I claimed to want to alleviate homelessness, then I would use my $4,000,000,000 to alleviate homelessness without the power grab.
Thank you to every one who supported our campaign. I’m sorry we didn’t win this time. We fell short of advancing by only 1,114 votes, against establishment figures, in a primary election with more than 180,000 votes cast. I am extremely proud of all we accomplished.

People can’t afford healthcare, housing, education, or even food on the table, and yet your elected officials are wasting time and resources on coming for drag queens and trans people.

Narcan really does save lives. I’ve relayed this story before, but it’s worth sharing again. A few years ago I was leaving a public pool in LA with a friend when we saw a man pulling a limp body out of the passenger seat of his car. 🧵
@MattWalshBlog
Trans people, as a whole, do not want violence. This is not systemic. If you want systemic patterns of domestic terror, look no further than your own kind, Matt, especially when speaking about implicit encouragement.
Imagine how much space 40,000 posters of Palestinians would take up. Or almost 2,000,000 displaced Palestinians because their homes have been blown up or threatened. 🍉
#CeasefireNow
In my front office I have displayed the posters of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas.
They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home.
If elected to Congress, the first piece of legislation I will introduce is a sweeping federal bill to protect the rights of all LGBTQIA+ people in the United States that I call The Protect LGBTQIA+ People Act.
Last night I spoke w/someone who works for LA County Animal Control and what he had to share was heartbreaking and eye opening. He told me he personally handles about 35-40 calls per day from people experiencing (or about to experience) homelessness seeking help for their pets.🧵
