what was the one thing he said? i notice you forgot to mention that
If you’re willing to cancel Pete Buttigieg because you disagree with one thing he said, your level of intolerance is off the charts. We need to be able to disagree with others without writing them off.

Thinking tonight, I don't know why, about Lyndon Johnson's famously effective approach to securing votes as Majority Leader- a charismatic firehose so irresistible it was called The Treatment, in capital letters.

I will add for my Oregon friends that Sen. Merkley has come out against the CR, but Sen. Wyden has signaled support.

this keeps replaying in my head bc it's literally this easy to support trans people. the majority of these freaks have never actually experienced pushback and will straight up collapse when confronted. cis people get your heads right. this is your job
1. Finally some fight.
"Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly.
McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman."
Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled.

During a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Republican representative, Rep. Keith Self, called transgender congresswoman the "gentleman from Delaware." Dems pushed back.

Two completed bookbinding projects- a book of fairy tales for a friend who's not on Bluesky, and an old copy of Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm rebound using the double fan method. (Not mad to see the last of the fancy handmade paper, I used for the covers- it was a real pain to work with.)

This really is an incredible piece.
Friends, this piece by M. Gessen is a bracing, sobering read. We need to understand the era we are likely walking into. We have to ask ourselves what will be irrevokably lost. What are we willing to do to stop it?

This isn't baseball. Every pitch you don't swing at is going to hit an actual person.
It's electeds' jobs to defend your interests. You have an absolute right to demand they do a better job, and it's completely legitimate to threaten their political futures if they don't.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

I think it's important right now to make peace with what you can't change, whatever that looks like for you. But it's even more important to do what you can.
Call your reps. Make it clear that you expect them to oppose the administration on every front, starting with health care for trans kids.
