Self ID for trans folks is fine. Trans panic by centrist Dems just accedes to right wing moral panic. And obv if anyone is using self ID laws to be a creep (which, again, doesn't happen despite alleged instances) there's already rules and laws against it
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Nostalgia about neighbourhood retail is not a strategy - Spacing Toronto

Yes, even in “"'liberal'"” New York, prisoners can legally be paid as little as a dime an hour. Less than a dollar for eight hours of work.
There is a reason that people who want to abolish prisons are called abolitionists. Prisons are modern-day slavery.

It continues to boggle my mind that Gorsuch is such a fierce defender of Indigenous sovereignty but absolutely caves to his colleagues to dismantle protections for Black and Brown folks
Justice Gorsuch argues that the Supreme Court should overturn precedent that gives Congress near-absolute power over the internal affairs of tribes. Only Justice Thomas—who typically disagrees with Gorsuch on these issues—joins him. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

As I explained when Davis' lawyers filed this petition, there was virtually no chance that the Supreme Court would seriously consider her case. I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefell—but if there were, this case does not present a clean vehicle for doing so. slate.com/news-and-pol...

telling someone who’s health insurance premiums are going up 2000% that the republicans are now on record opposing healthcare and they promised to vote on it later so it’s really for the best that the senator won’t be moderately inconvenienced flying home in two weeks

With Cornyn MIA & still not voting, votes can still be changed. An effective leader would be burning up phone lines trying to flip one of the Dems who voted yes to kill this deal.

If you're live in Virginia rn for the love of God please call Tim Kaine's DC office rn!! (Vote is still open technically)
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.
