If it's Newsom vs JD Vance in the 2028 general election (God forbid!), then, yeah, I'll pick the one who isn't Vance. But it's fucking 2026! Do I have to resign myself to a choice between shitty and much shittier already? Or are you saying Newsom is inevitable, like Andrew Cuomo last year in NYC?
Answer me this:
You have to choose between Gavin Newsom and Trump or some MAGA chump. No other options. If you're really saying that you wouldn't vote for Newsom in that situation, you're not smart enough do what's best for all Americans. Especially trans people.
You need to think strategically.

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start:

Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?
State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

"without witness, without reward" is a really good principle to follow.
whether it's action, kindness, providing aid, or charity, you can do a lot of good in this world without seeking the validation that comes from the number on your post going up.

A lot of people on social media who insist you advertise every act of resistance you do aren't about actually resisting. They're about being SEEN resisting. And those are two very different things.

These are amazing exchanges. A Times reporter hypes Trump’s deranged NYT interview by complaining about the access they got from Joe Biden and then when faced with what he’s admitting, he pretends he’s not saying what he’s saying.
