Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana

Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.

Something remarkable happened in Montana today. As has become routine, anti-trans bills were up for debate—the state has spent more than half of its legislative days this session pushing such bills through committees and the House floor, with Republicans largely voting in lockstep. But something changed.

A week ago, transgender Representative Zooey Zephyr delivered a powerful speech against a bill that would create a separate indecent exposure law for transgender people. Since then, momentum on the House floor slowed. Today, two of the most extreme bills targeting the transgender community came up for a vote. Transgender Representatives Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell gave impassioned speeches—this time, they broke through. In a stunning turn, 29 Republicans defected, killing both bills. One Republican even took the floor to deliver a scathing rebuke of the bill’s sponsor.

None of you reactionary animals really care about women, just like you don't care about children, and just like you don't care about citizens. Those are just convenient groups you hide behind to channel your hate.


@the cac mamba already slipped up and said we need to stop beating people over the head about race and sexual/sex issues. Every marginalized group is fair game to him.

He nor nap stand for anything, nap stands for what polls well for Democrats, literally his whole ideology is whatever the republicans don't attack lol. If republicans start attacking black history month he'd argue dems need to just bush black history month and we should teach our own history at home. They're glorified republicans. A year ago he was running around saying dems need to be TOUGHER on crime cause the post pandemic bumps , now it's transgender kids

Sabotaging the Dems Isn't the Flex You Think It Is.

The Leftists are going into their playbook to try to sabotage 2026 because of one day.

Of course, the majority report wants to crash out over trans issues

Explain the value in linking up with someone like Charlie Kirk. Don't side step it. Don't deflect. Just detail the benefit in this.

He could have sat down with Chris Christie and yall would cry foul. Democrats should sit down with the DEVIL and hold their own. I don’t give a fukk any more. These right wingers are peeling off independents and conservative contrarian democrats. We should be doing the same in the opposite direction.

Gotta run into that fire and show you can box it out. Kamala couldn’t do it. Biden couldn’t do it.

Dems can’t be p*ssy around their enemies.

Preaching to the choir hasn’t worked. It’s time for an aggressive and controversial media strategy.

@Pull Out The dikk is another loser, who can't name who he wants progressives to run in the 2028 primary

of course, i'm just assuming. i put him on ignore

@Pull Up the Roots You got Stephen A Smith sitting down with Bill O’Reilly and holding court.

Mayor Pete goes on Fox News.

Enough whining. Get dirty and box it out. Gain reps and show you aint scared to defend your ideas.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

You can’t be the governor of the biggest state in the country and be too scared to bounce ideas with a big time influential conservative.

The time for tucking your nuts is over. If you can’t handle it, you can’t lead. Period.

Just admit Newsom has political bravery you dont and keep it moving @Pull Up the Roots

actually, it's the exact opposite

you retards on the far left stand for nothing, because you just espouse whatever the far left tells you to, no matter whether you believe it or not. i make my own decisions on issues, without worrying about whether AOC thinks it's OK

it's like Pink MAGA's version of "owning the libs". except you have to win elections to own anything

they stand for EVERYTHING, ironically. It makes sense cause they can’t defend ANY of it and feel its beneath themselves to articulate why anyone should be persuaded by their stances.

You didn't answer the question. You just threw out empty tough-guy rhetoric without explaining the actual *value* of sitting down with someone like Charlie Kirk. You claim this is about boxing it out, but Kirk isn't an honest actor, and that's what you fools fail to understand. He is a propagandist who twists interactions to feed his audience lies and nothing more. Sitting with him doesn't win anyone over; it only legitimizes him. If you want to argue for an aggressive strategy, explain how doing *this* with people like that helps instead of just throwing out platitudes.

I like how last week it was "Dems shouldn't do or say anything" in the face of Trump destroying the country, but now it's time to do something, but only if it's to align yourself with some of the most vile bigots to attack transgender people. I fukking hate you people.

And the bold is super-laughable. What the fukk is a "conservative contrarian Democrat" anyway? That just seems like a fancy way of saying Republicans who like to LARP as Democrats. Chasing after people like that is a fool's errand. They don't want to be won over, they want to be pandered to while still voting GOP. But go ahead, keep wasting time trying to court people who will never show up for you. You're only going to end up turning off people who *are* open to voting for you.

I need this party to fukking die already.

He held his own and sat down with a firebrand.

I’d say 80% of incumbent democrats can’t do that.

You’re not going to beat him by ignoring him. Kirk is up there with Shapiro levels of influence.

I’m talking about congress.

if a state governor wants to raise his profile by doing media, thats not governing, thats promotion.

I’m open to hearing your suggestion.
