Hi! I miss so many of you!
If you are on Threads, will you let me know? I am trying out that space and it is feeling like a better fit for me. It feels like the good parts of old Twitter in a way that I have not been able to replicate here.

A really worthwhile thread.
OK here is the disgust framework analysis of Gavin.
Gavin is 100% playing into and trying to take advantage of disgust politics.
The two groups he has most blatantly "broken with the left on" are trans people and unhoused people.
His strategy seems to depend on disgust.

So uh, anybody want to buy a weaving?

if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.
