![A 5 panel comic page. Panel 1: a young man with curly dark hair and glasses types on a phone. Panel 2. We see his thumbs typing; the phone is a 2000’s-style slide out keyboard phone. 3. The text box on the screen, reading “hope ur [you’re] ok”. 4. The text gets deleted. 5. The young man lays back on his bed frustrated, as we see the rest of his bedroom, which includes a desk, a bay window, and several posters on one wall. The whole page is colored in an orange/blue duochrome palette.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yk2usouya5hlgrhg7htew3u6/bafkreihlrhfmme6uiws7b2vornau6s747yblxdidvxixju32ogvbgam7ge@jpeg)

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

You're right, it's my fault the elected Democratic senators folded. My anger at their lack of will to fight made them so sad that they lost their will to fight.
The defeatism on the left after we just had one of the most high profile primary upsets ever, is absolutely insane. The path forward is right there, we just saw a huge step work
Explains so much about why elected Dems roll over and surrender immediately. That's what most of the voter base does too.

Yes, and now everyone realizes we can't win with this team. Time to blow it up and rebuild. Tank for some picks.

The problem with “it’s not a choice” as the core of a defense, whether of being transgender or simply being fat, is the frequency of an implicit underlying “because nobody would ever want to be like this,” which is simply not true in either case.

I'm performatively liminal, which means I'm standing on a cliff going "OOOOH MAYBE I'LL JUMP, MAYBE I'M A REPRESENTATION OF CROSSING A THRESHOLD THAT CANNOT BE UNCROSSED, OOOOOOH"
Has “performative” become the new “liminal” in that it’s a term that is very useful but its misuse on social media is rendering it difficult to use

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

I would simply not piss off my base instead of telling my base to shut up after I pissed them off but hey I’m not a senator. (And this is one of the better senators!)
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #ChuckSchumer. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Chuckanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

sometimes i feel like the republican party is a big tornado that is coming to kill me. and the democratic party is the rickety shed that i'm hiding in. and i say "we should really fix this shed, because it's not doing much." and people say "what? why aren't you criticizing the tornado instead?!"

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:
Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.
