Democrats too often create a villain-less politics, and it’s a reason why many people don’t trust them.
My kingdom for a Democrat who runs on “You know how Medicaid stopped covering her nursing home last year and you went bankrupt trying to pay out of pocket? I’m going to punish the people who did that to you.”
The one thing we’ve learned is that cruelty is sexy and we should have promised to rain hell on Trump.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

the us admin is hurtling us towards authoritarian rule so one tv show seems pointless, but it does suck that somehow BOTH queer shipper groups for 911 are pretty miserable this hiatus. that’s due to the show’s choices + its thoughtless and cynical media strategy re: queer fans

This is what consumes me. 1) NBC News today. 2) Masha Gessen, 2016. His enablers kept acting like it was just a big fucking joke, despite all of history telling us it was not.

Yeah, I’m an ex-Soviet and I’m seeing the exact poisonous cynicism, apathy and meanness that wrecked my childhood. It’s so striking and unnerving. Propaganda works! And It works best on people convinced they’re too smart to fall for it, like many Americans.

Universal Basic Income saves lives. It is a life-saving policy.
A study of over 7 million people from 2000-2019 across 37 countries found a significant impact of cash transfers on all-cause mortality. Women's deaths fell by 20%. Deaths of kids under age 5 fell by 8%. The greater the amount and universality, the greater the impact.

I remain convinced that if you resort to convenient bigotry to win votes, the people whose votes you gained will eventually vote for a more sincere bigot, while the people you abandoned will never trust you again.
These are the people telling the Democrats that abandoning trans rights is the way to win over voters.
Has joining the anti-trans UK consensus done them any good? Hmm, it really doesn't seem like voters give politicians a reward for anti-trans policies.

"Labour’s support from voters “has fallen away sharply” with a more rapid decline in its popularity than has ever been seen for a new government – after the party came to power with a smaller proportion of the vote than any previous majority government."

wild how you can even see this in 911 fandom. such as in some recent podcasts
everyone anywhere near the mainstream feels the way the wind is blowing and is looking for an excuse to move rightward to improve their standings in what comes next

that Ryan interview has pretty much closed the door on Buddie. someone who's making their personal brand about being conservative and Christian simply won't accept a queer storyline - it doesn't fit. and I do wonder more now if he will leave the show, bc that interview did not seem aimed at 911 fans

i'm getting so tired of this line, clearly from publicity, that the 911 cast would be "fine if [Buddie] happened." clearly Ryan would not be fine bc he's now saying "Eddie is straight" instead. it's a confusing/bad approach having different messages out there. if there are no plans, just say that

the fact that we were robbed of eddie and tommy being michael and bobby 2.0 is also cruel and unusual punishment as outlined and prohibited by the 8th amendment
