Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way.

It’s infuriating how many people claim to care about fictitious “child trafficking” conspiracies about trans people and Wayfair and Democrats but will miss, ignore, and distract from actual government agents kidnapping children in front of their very eyes

While also terrorizing communities, violently attacking people, violating rights. It's white supremacist violence porn so the MAGA crowd can feel something
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

He was already on the ground. This is government-sponsored sadism. That is, Trump-sponsored sadism.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

The anti-LGBTQ push intersected with narratives and people's beliefs about kids, schools, sports. Trans people *in general* may not move people much, but the intersections that Rs pushed, and Dems didn't counter, activated a wide range of topics people do care and have feelings about
She said she voted Republican for the first time which means that in the past LGBTQ stuff was not a deal breaker for her which means something turned it into a deal breaker for her and I think we should be VERY curious about the systemic issues which shaped that outcome

Dems seem to have a hard time playing on the field of values and morals. It's a lot of technocracy. Combating transphobia isn't a policy question: it's a moral one. And Dems keep falling on their faces because of it. There's no middle ground with those committed to maximal harm.
One of the reasons it’s a problem that Democrats keep ceding ground to transphobes is that it actually just helps conservatives get more votes by not contesting any of the transphobic shit that conservatives are using as a gateway message

They need all protestors to be paid operatives because they cannot abide the possibility that somewhere in the world, people sincerely believe in standing up for others. It isn’t enough that they’ve chased all moral virtue from their own hearts. They want a world where no virtue exists in anyone.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Great conversation that deconstructs reactionaries using liberal values for illiberal ends. The "free speech warriors" only ever wanted to entrench existing hierarchies and their place within it, then use that power to silence dissent. All to launder conservativism under the guise of "I'm liberal"
In this episode we rolled back the clock and did a full retrospective on the infamous Harper's Letter.
This conversation with @parkermolloy.com was so much fun and what a trip it was travelling back to seemingly simpler times in the discourse.

I find the "middle ground" language as just cover to shift the overton window. When bad faith actors push things further and further into illiberal, morally degraded territory, we can't cede ground. I don't have to find a "compromise" with harmful policies and ideologies.
Just because a lot of people are cruel, bigoted, and brainwashed doesn’t mean we have to find a “middle ground” with them or a “compromise” that satisfies some of their racist delusions. We just don’t.
