i mean do i have to point out how wildly evil the reaction would be if palestine was getting billions in military funding and legions of palestinians with memeified shiba inu pfps, referring to themselves as "fellas", were doing "donation match/multipliers" openly and specifically for weapons

i want you to look at this persons job and the books they have written, and what they describe as "Actual communism" and see if you begin to understand why american voters are so misinformed and politically fickle

i genuinely cannot tell anymore if he is simply a pathological liar or has fully deluded himself. he openly ridiculed his own constituents while hiding from them for years. the idea that he didnt like politics but the only way he could "serve" was running for congress is absurd. good riddance!

i am kind of impressed at this point how consistently this guy is wrong in the most narrow and specific way possible. we have a decade of evidence showing that "trump bad" is an obvious side effect of a good campaign, while a campaign *based on* "trump bad" is doomed to failure

maine fun fact: our state minimum wage has been equal to or higher than the federal min wage all but two years, and has been higher than the federal minimum wage every year since 2002. since reaching $9, this means min wage workers in maine made $88.5k more pre-tax income in that span than fed min

one example of how weak even $15 is: idk if anyone has ever said "move to maine to make good money" and our minimum wage will break $15/hr on jan 1st, automatically, from a starting point of $9/hr in 2017

this is what i call "santa claus politics" bc it is:
1. largely harmless
2. impossible to take seriously once youve outgrown it
3. more embarrassing the older you get while still holding it
4. accidentally the premise for a really clever joke about PTSD

both are important but not gonna lie its pretty gross the immediate and coordinated fight that has occurred re: the marketplace subsidies vs the medicaid cuts.
and it wasnt chance, or timing; those subsidies are big $$ for private insurers. literally answered the calls of their corporate masters

would you be surprised if i told you some of the same very specific individuals are behind both of these groups
![In early 2022, WelcomePAC conducted a campaign to recruit "big tent" candidates for the Ohio House of Representatives in the state's Northeast region.[1][5][6] Later in the cycle, the group endorsed 17 state legislature candidates with a commitment to "building a big tent Democratic Party that welcomes in independents and moderate Republicans" in Ohio.[7] In July 2022, the Ohio Capitol Journal reported that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman had made contributions to WelcomePAC's endorsed state legislature candidates.[8]
In late 2022, WelcomePAC organized a series of press conferences throughout Ohio featuring local leaders with Republican backgrounds supporting Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan's campaign for Senate against Republican author and venture capitalist J.D. Vance.[9][10][11][12][13][14] The group also ran digital advertisements in the state, encouraging voters who had split their tickets between Republican Governor Mike DeWine and Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in 2018 to consider voting for Ryan in 2022.[15]
In late October 2022, the group announced an advertising campaign to persuade both moderate and Trump-aligned Republicans not to vote for J.D. Vance and encourage them to split their tickets in support of Tim Ryan.[16] The six-figure campaign consisted of print, radio, and digital ads.[16] Despite unexpectedly competitive poll numbers against Vance, Ryan received minimal support from national Democratic Party committees.[17][18] According to Dayton-based NBC News affiliate WDTN, WelcomePAC was the only national Democratic group to invest significantly in supporting Ryan's campaign.[19] In November 2022, Ryan lost the race for Senate.[20][21][22]
Activities in California's 41st congressional district
WelcomePAC supported Democrat Will Rollins against Republican Representative Ken Calvert in the 2022 race for California's 41st congressional district.[2][23][24] Rollins lost to Calvert in the November general election.[25][26]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nqahx7aa4uuiin7z3zxgl7e5/bafkreiaz4mi566iop7kdgucjmrueomallqgpyvftwpls3amjv443dlb6gq@jpeg)

a lot of the structure of swimming is similar to track, and an especially disgusting and tragic aspect the treatment of Lia Thomas is that *she was a nationally elite swimmer pre-transition* and is basically the "perfect" HRT success re: a consistent competitive level pre and post transition
![Thomas began swimming on the men's team at the University of Pennsylvania in 2017. During her freshman year, Thomas recorded a time of eight minutes and 57.55 seconds in the 1,000-yard freestyle that ranked as the sixth-fastest national men's time, and also recorded 500-yard freestyle and 1,650-yard freestyle times that ranked within the national top 100.[4] On the men's swim team in 2018–2019, Thomas finished second in the men's 500, 1,000, and 1,650-yard freestyle at the Ivy League championships as a sophomore in 2019.[4][3][13] During the 2018–2019 season, Thomas recorded the top UPenn men's team times in the 500 free, 1,000 free, and 1,650 free, but was the sixth best among UPenn men's team members in the 200 free.[14]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nqahx7aa4uuiin7z3zxgl7e5/bafkreig3lgp3y4hetjintspp7hsxur6ugzgd335aqp3xe4ztdjq5opk5qa@jpeg)
![The March 2022 NCAA championship was Thomas's last college swimming event.[31] By the conclusion of Thomas's swimming career at UPenn in 2022, her rank had moved from 65th on the men's team to 1st on the women's team in the 500-yard freestyle, and 554th on the men's team to fifth on the women's team in the 200-yard freestyle.[32][21] According to the swimming data website Swimcloud, Thomas was ranked 36th among female college swimmers in the United States for the 2021–2022 season,[23] and 46th among women swimmers nationally.[33] In March 2022, Sports Illustrated reported that Thomas applied for law school and planned to swim at the 2024 Summer Olympics trials.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nqahx7aa4uuiin7z3zxgl7e5/bafkreibcupolgg6f534janhz7xa4j5qm6r4tlot7opym5o57ydsza2expa@jpeg)

it has been 3 years and 7 months since this woman tied for 5th in a race and she has never even pretended to be interested in any career but grifting. these are the people with "legitimate concerns" about trans athletes.

my first interaction with this guy yrs ago when he angrily insisted, "I am not a lib" and my most recent interaction was discovering he blocked me without me ever knowing he was on here presumably by name searching himself. if hes not a lib, not on the left, what remains?
