Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.
This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.

We go to sleep in a better country than we woke up in. Thank you to everyone who worked for these coast-to-coast victories, for this utter repudiation of Trumpism, for economic justice and a country for all of us, not for white supremacy.

The GOP and Tr*mp are withholding SNAP funds on purpose to get you to buckle. They are starving Americans. It is supremely cruel and it is already backfiring on them. It would be the worst possible move to concede and throw American lives away when you're winning at defending them.

If you're a Dem Senator and the issue here is SNAP: organize mutual aid and support and elevate ongoing mutual aid efforts so we all feed each other while you hold out for 20 million Americans' health insurance. 51,000 American lives are on the line every year. Do not fail us.

Dems love to fold when they have a winning hand. I know the establishment DC huddle Dems have failed us many times already this year. They're doing ONE thing right and listening to progressives, the play is working, and they're thinking of conceding? Absofuckinglutely not. Grow a spine. Save lives.

It's time to call your Dem Senators and remind them that all that stands btwn the regime and the lives of 51,000 Americans a year is them holding the line.

If they cave they show they have learned nothing. You make a power move, then be powerful. Don't cave. Your bite needs teeth. Hold the line.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

We had elections during Covid. During the Civil War. During the World Wars. There is no mechanism for suspending elections in the United States. Don't let these fascist fucks tell you otherwise.
🚨Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake "national emergency" to hijack elections.

One operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and mandate state election rules.

Independent, state-run elections are the last firewall between democracy and authoritarian rule.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.
"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't
there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!
