it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:
Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Arbitrary power by unmerited racial right is superficially attractive to people who are deeply insecure. It would also do absolutely nothing to make them more secure, because they know at the end of the day that it is unmerited.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

This is tangential but a thing I've learned as a person who is related to Fox-brained Republicans: they really think they can steamroll and are ready for ~ arguments ~ but they truly do not know what to do with "Well, that's an awful thing to say and you should be ashamed, anyway, how's the pie"
I don’t think people like Mike Lee are used to coming face to face with the impact of their behavior
I can't help but think that there's also still a lot of very real PTSD around the fact that supporters of current GOP electeds came v close to killing Congressmembers on Jan 6—HUNTING specific D members—but those GOP electeds very performatively dismiss it & deride their colleagues' concerns.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
