Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hopefully voters will primary and vote out every weak Dem senator who caved, plus the ones we are pretty sure used them for cover (Schumer, Gillibrand, etc.) our election joy didn’t even last a full week.

Excellent thread. I know I had some (bad) ideas about grammar and pronouns. However after getting to know some trans and nonbinary folks, my grammatical concerns stood revealed as irrelevant and completely unimportant compared to the well being of actual human beings.
tbh i think that the majority of americans are consciously neutral and unconcerned, but subconsciously negative and repulsed.
i also think that having trans people in their lives shifts this dramatically toward the positive very quickly, and the biggest problem is that we’re abstract to most.

this is also my read on the electorate
for instance I think it's likely that, as much as it is bullshit transphobia cooked up by bigots, the majority of people in this country don't want trans kids to play sports
but are they going to condition their vote on it? no, they don't care that much

Reading “Patriot,” Alexei Navalny’s autobiography, is especially chilling right now— the fact that the Trump regime is following the exact same playbook is unavoidable.

Well worth listening to.
The clearest, most on-point comment about the shutdown I’ve heard so far. Some angry rants make us smarter and sharper. This is one of them.

I oppose violence. Not just political violence, all violence. I believe that Charlie Kirk should be mourned with the same intensity, and to the same extent, that he mourned the murder of Melissa and Mark Hartman and the shootings of John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

I personally am a voter to whom that has always appealed. I loved Biden for being the adult in the room. But the time for that has *passed*. That ship has sailed and *sunk*. Democrats need to be the adult who has realized *THEIR CHILD IS IN DANGER*. Because the child predators are *IN THE HOUSE*.
real problem that democratic politicians fetishize being “responsible” and “the grown ups”

1/2 They’re not just making videos. They’re sounding the alarm.
Because the threat to American freedom isn’t just creeping in through politics—it’s marching in robes and crosses, cloaked in Christian nationalism, hell-bent on turning pulpits into pulpits of power.
This isn’t faith. It’s fanaticism
