In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.

We need to make sure more people learn about them.
Three Things in Trump’s Budget That Aren’t Getting Enough Attention
They might affect the bill’s fate… if more people learn about them and speak up.

The inability to have unqualified appreciation for anything is the defining characteristic of the left, and I love it...it's great, I think things are complicated. But I don't have unqualified appreciation for that instinct...I think it can also be harmful.

SO FUCK YEAH CONSTITUTION. NO KINGS.

This is why I still think that the internet, not the issues, are the root cause of this culture war. People (including journalists…who are people) imagine the loudest, angriest positions as default positions because those are the ones that get eyeballs in an ultra-competitive attention economy.
“Supporters of inclusion view those who hesitate or have questions as bigots.” that’s not fucking true. we keep explaining how transition and athletics works BECAUSE we believe people who don’t know will mostly come around once they do know! if we thought they were all bigots we wouldn’t try!!
NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position.

Supporters of the Holocaust considered Jews to be subhuman saboteurs of German society, too. So fucking what??

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.

This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.

Amber Glenn has absolutely been a revelation this season. Her ascent after a decade of potential both has been unexpected and makes total and complete sense now that it’s happening #GPFinal #GPFigure
