Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

We have a Nazi-influenced government, a president who admires and cribs from Hitler, and a fascist movement in control.
Each of us still gets to be whoever we want to be against that backdrop, but that IS the backdrop, let's be clear.

it is amazing how many idiots genuinely seem to believe that the GOP actually want women’s sports to exist in any form
The end game of this was always "we have to end women's sports to protect cis women from trans women."
I hammer at this periodically, but the fear-mongering here isn't just about anti-trans rhetoric, but about promoting an image of cis women as delicate flowers.

America is such a shithole country, and it’s about to get even worse
An unhoused woman in *active labor*—her water had just broken—was ticketed by Louisville police for sleeping outside.
What a cruel, cruel country.

It appears that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me to my sad but essential reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible, and importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.

A bit embarrassing honestly that so many people think it's okay to amplify what lunatics such as RFK happen to be (perhaps) correct about. Oh, he believes in a good night's sleep?! We can work with that! Please.
No. RFK Jr has dedicated the past two decades of his life to making it more likely that children will die of preventable illnesses.
The only "good stuff" he believes is that Americans should eat better and exercise more, something every institution of public health already promotes constantly.

Harris had an opportunity to appeal to the RFK voters who just want healthy food and she blew it.
By blowing RFK off entirely, it invited people to assume that Harris opposed RFK's entire agenda, even the good stuff.

Sen. Joe Manchin told me tonight he gets why Biden pardoned his son.
He says Biden should pardon Trump too.
“I thought it would have been a little better move if he’d have pardoned Trump too,” he said. “Let's let bygones be bygones, put the past behind us. Let's move forward.”

Hot take, I think the party deeply invested in gender-conservative ideology and the legal enforcement of cissexism and male-supremacy is actually for-real invested in enshrining patriarchy.

Gender politics is not a "sideshow" to conservative, especially fascist politics. It's the core.

Saying "this is a distraction" in response to anti-trans attacks without actually pushing back on the attacks is exactly what Kamala Harris did in response to anti-trans attacks during her campaign. That sure worked out well! 🙃
Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

We’ve all spent eight years trying to “understand” conservatives and I think we’ve gotten everything we want out of that exercise. There’s no depth to their convictions, either a howling pit of hatred and fear or a shameless pursuit of power. We can close the book, there’s nothing more to learn.

One of Jim Crow's signature features was punctilious insistence on compliance with the law when doing so subjugated Black Americans. I don't think it's hyperbolic to see echoes of that in the rejection of a ballot amendment for failure to properly submit a "paid canvasser training certification."
