This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I called my husband from the hotel and told him about the convo, and he said "well it's really simple. if you love your partner, you want to do things that make them happy or even just make their life easier. I don't understand why other husbands wouldn't be doing these things!"

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.
If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.
Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

In 2009 I thought it was the right decision not to focus on the crimes of the Bush administration, and to let the country move on. That was clearly a mistake. The next administration needs to make prosecuting every person who was involved in this shit a top priority, right up there with prosecuting

Most parents have to explain to kids that they can't marry their own mommy or daddy or the dog. Children don't know ANYTHING about how romantic relationships work, if they end up thinking gay people can't exist that's because you're a shit parent.

Anyone who perceives Kirk as “civil” or as “doing politics the right way” is betraying their comfort with the ablative world Kirk worked so hard to create, secure in their belief that the grinding wheel will never touch *their* skin.
One wonders where that belief arises from.

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”
If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.
