This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.

In 1933.

it disgusts me the national democratic party barely pushes back at this attempt from the right to wind back LGBTQ rights decades after claiming to be the party of LGBTQ rights

if we were really concerned about the safety of children & women we'd do something to prevent sexual abuse committed by clergy in protestant and catholic churches instead. Of course that's not what any of this transphobic hysteria is about

this right-wing framing has become sticky but is ahistorical. one of the key projects of today’s right is evading debate: attacking mainstream media, demonizing academia & encouraging students to leave higher education and buying entire social platforms because they don’t like the conversation there

Trying to find a happy medium between not knowing anything that's happening in the world and being pissed off all the time

Yelling at me about being in A Liberal Echo Chamber is pretty funny. The first half of my life was in the Conservative Christian version of that. Why would I need to keep listening to them? There is never a situation when I don't already know what they think lol

Oddly, you never hear Fox News viewers criticized or even questioned for inhabiting a hermetically sealed bubble. It’s almost as if this entire canard is about the right’s ability to infect, infest, and dominate us.
