for people who still had faith in electoralism, the way "Vote Blue No Matter Who" pragmatist™ Democrat leaders have mobilized against Zohran Mamdani versus Trump ought to be the last stop on that train
it's insane that for basically my entire adult life every election has been The Most Important Election and to save democracy we all have to abandon our principles and play nice with fascists and vote for a guy everybody hates. and now here we are and it turns out none of that saved democracy anyway

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

I’m no longer Christian as an active spiritual practice.
But Pope Francis was one of those who actually lived and worked by Jesus’s example for empathy and social justice.

not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

Transphobia is Misogyny
News: Diana Greene Foster, the MacArthur-winning author of the Turnaway Study, learned her NIH grant — funding a multi-year study on Dobbs' impact — has been pulled. She was told its bc the govt won't study "gender identity."
Her work has shaped our understanding of abortion bans' consequences.

Do Dems need to throw gays, lesbians, and trans people overboard to win elections?
No. What Dems need is to look towards our community, particularly the trans community, for the sort of courage and moral leadership and American values that can get them winning again.

There's a whole tier of Democratic politicians who think the way to solve fascism is to say stuff you would have said eight years ago, but with a curse word in it.
The path back to power for the Democratic Party is to be the party that gets shit done.

Cis people falling all over themselves praising Sarah McBride for "not letting Republicans use her as a distraction" is absolutely indicative of how they will respond to any efforts by trans people to preserve our rights.

I sometimes believe their are few coincidences
Today as we celebrate
the Reverend Martin Luther King
We must remember he too went to DC but with a wholly different and divine purpose
He filled that space with his goodness his immense love and that’s why he is celebrated
