What the fuck is wrong with this guy. I was just writing about this Reagan today and referenced the time he laughed it up with Richard Nixon in 1971, calling a UN delegation from Tanzania monkeys and laughing that they weren't wearing shoes.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

“Republicans attacking us keeps allies on alert, ready to resist. But when Democrats begin to adopt the same rhetoric, that resistance dissolves. Transphobia inside the party is not a treatable wound inflicted by the far right—it is a malignancy, slow-moving but devastating.”
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

The original plan for dinner means I'd have to start by caramelising onions.
I don't think I have that in me today.
I'd rather switch to something that takes under 2 hours to make.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.
