while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

This is definitely some much needed comfort!
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Regular reminder that the “reptilian” people masquerading as human conspiracy theory is antisemitism and when they say reptilian they mean Jew who is a non-human that secretly controls the world.
It's hard to tell if Clay Higgins earnestly believes in the reptilian conspiracy theory (that powerful people are actually giant reptiles wearing human suits) or if this is just petty trolling, but it's so fucking weird that this is where we're at as a country

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

For the wealth class to continue hoarding and consolidating resources it requires fascism.
The wealth class owns all corporate media, so the coverage normalizes fascism while vilifying even the most moderate reform or change.
That’s it. That’s the game.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I cannot stress enough, fuck this dead-eyed bigoted opportunist. This media whitewashing of Newsom's own campaigns of hate are exactly how we got Trump.
Gavin Newsom: "This is a tough time. A lot of anxiety, a lot of stress ... and Democrats frankly have had a difficult time pushing back. There's sort of this weakness that dominates our brand, and I think what people appreciate is that we're willing to fight not only symbolically but substantively"

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

They are seceding from

- from the West
- from our democracy, rule of law and Constitutional order
We are staying true to America. They are betraying it.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

Let me see if I understand this.
Unemployment is at its highest rate in four years. The U.S. *lost* jobs last month, ending one of the longest economic expansions in our history. And there's no sign of the labor market rebounding.
Did I get all that? This is the Trump economy?

New data shows that for every millionaire who got a Trump tax cut, four Americans will lose their health insurance.
Republican Megabill’s Tax Cuts for Millionaires Are Financed by Taking Health Insurance From 4.7 Million People | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
The tax cuts for millionaires in the law — averaging $80,000 per household — will cost the same as the health care cuts that will take health insurance away from 4.7 million people by 2034.

If you support a candidate who has been willing to throw trans people under the bus and say it’s because you “want to win elections” you’re sending a pretty signal to trans people what you think of them.
Not to mention continuing this “pragmatic” bullshit also isn’t going to win you elections.
