Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.
the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

extremely on brand for the atlantic to publish an essay denouncing bds for boycotting a handful of innocent israeli intellectuals, rather than denouncing israel for killing and displacing millions of innocent palestinians
"This world is full of walls that divide peoples, and of regimes that impose ideological purity tests on writers," Arash Azizi writes. "If writers are to use our collective powers, it should not be to add to them":
The Problem With Boycotting Israel
Writers should build bridges instead of walls.

NYC is on fire because Eric Adams took a hatchet to the Parks Department budget, firing 51 forestry specialists who remove the dead trees and invasive species most likely to ignite during dry periods.

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all?
I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

i'm trying to be much more intentional about the news sources i share. i just re-shared someone's post with an NYT link but realized a better version of the same story was definitely available on an independent, worker-owned site. so i undid the repost, and sharing the other link here:
