I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Oh get fucked. Your colleagues fucking betrayed people and your response is "I get it, but I'm going to need you to get over it immediately"
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

Linehan is an even clearer example with his promotion of Andy Ngo's anti antifa blathering and his increasing anti-migrant stance.
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:

Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.

Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.

Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.
Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

The horrible deal has been struck but remember you can still jam Chuck Schumer's phone to tell his staff that he's an old loser who needs to retire.

If any of the Democrats who just ratfucked the poor turn up to your next No Kings rally, remember what they just did and what you currently feel about it and let them know.

So, so many (SO MANY) of your favs online or on tv are very quietly in the same desperate financial situations as loads of other Americans. The usual solution of getting a non-industry job to fill an industry employment gap is currently every bit as difficult as finding industry work

While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane.

“When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!
When Pete Buttigieg says he would take medicine that makes gay men straight. What do you think is Mr. Buttigieg's attitude towards gays, men and medicine?

One thing not being said - indeed, I think everyone misses this - but the requirement for the BBC to show impartiality and balance relates to the politics of *this* country, there’s no requirement to show some mythical balance globally, only to report the truth without fear or favour.

Beyond (and sometimes even replacing) the powers that they are granted by law, the real power that politicians hold is what the establishment allows them to hold. Trump gets away with a vast amount that Biden or Obama would never get away with because the establishment lets him.
