staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

Warren firing back and saying the ability of working people to afford to live in New York is what makes it a vibrant, workable city is EXACTLY the kind of defense of this city I want to see Democrats make.
ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'

FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?

WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.

Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

How do you use social media to job search—do you find opportunities that way, or vet organizations? Have you run into scams, or ghost jobs? How do you know what viral job-search advice to take? I'm looking to chat with early-career workers for a Teen Vogue column: email in bio; Signal rstauff.20

my main takeaway from the sotu is that republicans are so mad it's not socially acceptable to hate gay people any more so they've decided to focus all of that energy into being anti-trans instead

one negative to bluesky so far has been the uptick in the amount of posts talking about "democratic strategists" i've seen.

"democrats should do THIS"

"why are democratic strategists NOT doing XYZ"

"here's what democratic strategists are telling top democrats"

This is unironically good advice, if you've been putting off a Covid or flu shot for some reason, or really any immunization, now's a great time to see your doctor or stroll over to CVS
Get caught up on vaccinations asap

This is 100% why the "weird" attack line was so powerful: all these right-wing weirdos want is to be considered the default.
