Let’s talk about this insulting notion that Dems should “moderate” on issues regarding vulnerable communities and “wokeness”
People having rights, protections, and access to accurate information isn’t “Leftist.” Our paradigm is intentionally misleading

And this is why moral panics are *really* dangerous and the media and politicians should know far better.

Pick your comrades up, dust them off, give them a hug. There’s work to do.
Folks, it is not helpful to rush to label the doomposters as GOP psy-ops.
A lot of folks are rightfully scared and need some help and encouragement to pull themselves out and orient towards action.

Turns out Nancy Mace hired a legislative director who drunkenly broke into a woman's home and passed out in her bed. She called the cops and had him arrested when she came home and found him.
So much for protecting women.
