As in 2016 this is Kamala’s to lose.
Yes, it should be a landslide against Trump.
But it isn’t.
And any explanation that doesn’t place that squarely at the feet of Dems and their campaign is just denial.
Moving center is/was a failed strategy.
Punching left is/was a failed strategy.

"Liberals" and "Centrists" who ensured Trump's return are attacking people who BEGGED Biden/Harris to offer a bold alternative to fascism and genocide. They're GLOATING about the looming horrors. Rotten to the core, mirrors of their MAGA partners.

Since I was like three it was screamingly obvious to me that I was a cis het dude. It’s absurd to me that people act like trans/gnc/nb folks wouldn’t have that same insight while mine would be privileged just because it conforms to the assumptions that were made when I was born

So, our boy Jordan is having his final phone banking session this weekend. All one has to do is sign up with the QR code and you get assigned a group of people to call. Would be a bummer if people took advantage of the system.

The earliest known reference to Israel is approximately 50 years prior on the Merneptah Stele (c 1208 BCE) with the hieroglyphs for *ysrỉꜣr. The determinative for "foreign peoples" is the same.
If one wanted to ask the tiresome question of who was there first, the answer from hieroglyphs is "both".

the nonbinary kid who was murdered died in a more extreme version of something that happened to me in the ‘90s (being hit by a girl in the bathroom at school for being queer; she tried to smash my head into the sink). it is absolutely heartbreaking that they’re gone
