I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

I am *deeply* tired of the sort of gibbering thinkythunk who blithely posits that people who use social media don't live in the actual fucking world, and so must have a certain amount of tension and conflict in their feeds. Dealing with wearying shitbuckets is not virtuous. It just makes one tired.

Election night coverage makes more sense when you realize it's the equivalent of watching a basketball game with all the made shots shown in random order

"Shouldn't Trump have to be convicted of insurrection first before being disqualified?" You hear this objection often, but it's wrong.
Why Section 3 Disqualification Doesn't Require a Prior Criminal Conviction on Charges of Insurrectio...
The reason is a combination of the general structure of our legal system and the original meaning of Section 3.

I would like to pose some hypothetical questions to the insurrection-deniers: Is there anything Trump could have done that *would* have unambiguously constituted insurrection — anything that you’d acknowledge *does* require disqualifying him? 1/
