WSJ, right on time. So predictable just when consumers getting crushed. I'm sure tomorrow no doubt we'll get "Hurry for Higher Gas Prices!"...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social For all of us waiting for that light in the turnnel, Strength in Numbers has Dems at 99% to win House [!!] and NYT Sienna has Dems ahead or tied in all five battleground states as Rep's pull advertising from Whatley in NCar as a lost cause. Can you spell B-L-U-E-W-A-V-E?

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social With Reps in battleground states running on trans issues, CNN poll finds once again that it runs dead last in voters' concerns after elections, crime, tariffs, etc. Good for them for finally positing a question other pollsters still ignore. [Live screen grab]

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Great graphic for how the predator class of Musk, Trump, Thiel, Bezos, Epstein, and Zuckerfuck see the world you and I live in.

Denise Norris up with a big statement on "Survival Under Siege," including that she will support if nec. backsliders like Newsom and Talarico if it means defeating white Christian nationalists. I tend to agree -- all harms are not the same. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=2...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Pop quiz: What's wrong with this graphic? Trump's worried about GAC, Canada, and ballrooms while China is creating the future of manufacturing for generations to come. This is what you get with Red Meat Policymaking.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Could the NYT in ANY way have picked a darker, scarier picture of last night's FL Dem Senate Primary Angie Dixon than this??? I thought it was a still from a new horror movie at first. Maybe "Attack of the Living Dead Democratic Socialist." Way to demonize, Sulzberger.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Amazing to see this in Texas of all places. Who would have thought an openly pro-trans Dem would outraise one of the country's most rabidly anti-trans Rep demagogues by over 1,000% in the reddest states?!!? Other Dems take note.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Axios Only one third/33% of Americans approve of the Supreme Court--one point lower than Trump's approval rating. Under the extremist decisions The Christian Nationalist Six it has cratered to nearly half of just twenty years ago. www.axios.com/2026/07/29/s...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social According to sources inside the White House not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, Trump strongly considered-- but ultimately rejected -- rocking the purple shirt look Andrew Tate wore when he was arrested for his DC speech at the Correspondents' Assn Dinner.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social From Strength In Number: Trump's SAVE Act would overwhelmingly disenfranchise voters who are Black, low-income, low education and/or independent or Democratic. Reps would be affected the least.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social The last person to inhabit an iron lung due to childhood polio has died at age 78. Anti-vaxxers forget when dread diseases like polio swept the country before there was a vaccine, consigning thousands of children to live in them to stay alive.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [NYT cont] Meanwhile, NYT coverage of trans issues from a human and civil rights perspective collapsed as it was quickly replaced by coverage framing trans issues as a medical problem and as culture war issue. 3/3

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [NYT cont] Meanwhile trans people, who had often spoken for themselves in NYT articles [as with every other minority] began disappearing from trans coverage until it was dominated by cis-opponents speaking about them. 2/3

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Just found this while doing some housecleaning: in 1997 GenderPAC got a half dozen Members of Congress to sign a landmark letter to Atty Gnl Janet Reno denouncing hate crimes against transgender Americans. Yes things are awful right now but yes things DO get better.
