Sorry but you can’t actually bully me into submission, I am fueled by autism and correctness.

Also, I fundamentally disagree with the “throwing trans ppl under the bus” framework. That would be banning trans ppl in sports, which he didn’t call for.
He said leave it to the leagues.
Are you asking dems to force a vote on a federal trans sports *mandate*?
Bc, uhh…

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

Did anyone read the article?
"he continued, again reiterating his belief that those questions 'should be handled by communities and by sports leagues, not politicians.'"
He is not even talking about banning trans women in sports. This outrage feels astroturfed.

This is so disproportionate. Responding like this to political rhetoric designed for a totally different audience is so self-defeating. I really don’t think you even understood what Pete was saying.

The Fracturing of Modern Society
When I was growing up in South Carolina in the 80s and 90s, there were three options for the nightly evening news: Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, and Peter Jennings.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Remember when we all agreed the most effective way to manipulate Trump was with flattery and favor?
And where did this idea that they owe the dems anything come from?

I learned I was autistic through TikTok and it was as if I’d found the answer to a question I’d been asking my entire life. This, in part, gave me the confidence to start posting myself and it went better than I ever thought it would
I learned so much about my autism on tiktok and it became a place where people were openly and vibrantly autistic, unmasking, showing their supports and their successes. It was incredibly cool to be in a space that was just a bunch of people loving their autistic lives and sharing them.

Many people’s condescension around the looming TikTok ban reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how the app works, just how effective it was at connecting communities, and the good it has done for other people.

Biden gave it lip service without actually doing anything to change the legality of it. Biden handed them this layup, it’s humiliating
Yup. Biden said they won't enforce it, that they're leaving it to Trump regardless of what the law says. This is the Chinese government disseminating pro-Trump propaganda on U.S. soil.
