I’m not defending the Jon Lovett take, but to be fair, he was essentially describing himself.
Now that I think of it, the comfort certain people have with antisemitic iconography is very much connected to gender panic. “Neurotic, effete wordcel with an expensive diploma and IBS” is a very specific stereotype to be contrasted with “masculine, blue collar tribune of the volk.”
(discourse would also be better if people could separate their obvious anxieties about their own masculinity from their political decision making but that’s a separate conversation)

I suppose this is why they felt the need to recruit Janet Mills. All cops are bastards, though. Not sure what to tell you.
A Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts seen by CNN. https://cnn.it/47sXon6

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.
A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

I said this when he was sworn in for this term, but the parents of SpEd children whose funding is at risk of cuts are 100% going to be braying for blood if and when that money disappears. This is literally a matter of life & death for them. This *absolutely* risks political violence.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

Yes, trans people are shutting down the government because they want everyone to be trans. That is definitely what’s happening. No doubt about it.
Trump: “They want to have transgender for everybody. These people are crazy, the Democrats. So if it has to shut down, it’ll have to shut down. But they’re the ones that are shutting down the government.”
