Even my home county???
Tarrant County is a lynchpin in the Republican party's control over Texas, which is a cornerstone of Republican power nationally.
This is a State Senate district just outside of Fort Worth that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. If Texas Dems can get their act together and pump even the slightest amount of real money into this race (admittedly a big if), it's winnable.

I made a little history video for you to play while you get ready to head out to your Halloween festivities. Come for the theory on why gay people love Halloween, stay for the history of the holiday as a site of queer resistance. 🎃

Just spent 45 minutes searching multiple books trying to find a photo I remembered seeing in one of them years ago, only to discover it was in the first book I checked. Except, there was no photo. The author described it so well I misremembered it as having a photo attached.

This is perhaps the best time to announce that that internet culture reporter has parted ways with Vox and is now open to freelancing, if anyone would like them to, oh, explain the increasing role memes and shitposts have played in extremist violence, for ex: www.vox.com/culture/2019...

Everyone can contribute something to the fight, but because certain actions tend to get all the coverage, it can be easy to feel shut out. So here's a thread of ways to help that do NOT include:
Going anywhere
Calling anyone
Writing anything
If you want to help, we want your help. Let's go....
