I feel like I'm done blaming democratic consultants for the candidates going anti-trans. If that's your choice when the polls look like this, you're not pivoting to bigotry for expediency. You're doing it for love of the game. Or you're an idiot. Those feel like the two options.

a poll of top problems facing the country. #1 is inflation at 44%, #2 is Gov Corruption at 36% and #4 is the War with Iran at 21%

Shared with me by @jjindc.bsky.social, in the Denver Post. Dana Miller, you rock. Flight attendants know what’s up.

Immigrants shackled for
DIA flights are at risk
It was good to see Denver International Airport's commitment to safety demonstrated by its full-scale emergency exercise Aug. 19. 1 was a flight attendant for close to 30 years and I am glad to see the exercise included realtime role-playing, not relying solely on simulated training scenarios.
I wonder if DEN included the consideration that Immigration and Customs Enforcement charters fly in and out of the airport frequently.
These ICE flights contain passengers who are shack-led. They are restrained by leg irons and handcuffs attached to a waist chain and stay shackled throughout the flights. The restraints prevent them from reaching for an oxygen mask if there is a decompression, and in the event of a water emergency, donning personal life vests would be nigh impossible.
It seems to me that specialized training would be necessary for first responders and firefighting crews. Evacuations and rescues of an aircraft full of shackled passengers could make a horrifying situation much worse.

p.s. "The National Panhellenic Conference, which governs the country’s 26 major sororities, maintains that sisters can’t swig booze in sorority houses — even as the fraternity down the street throws a keg party," sending the women into enemy territory to drink. Prohibition should be on frat houses.

I did not know his story, either, and the depiction of who he was long before his final moments just shattered me. It costs nothing to be compassionate and I wish it felt more ample in these times

He had been rehearsing for that lobby his whole life. When Cardinal John O’Connor barred the gay Catholic group Dignity from archdiocesan churches in 1986, Judge welcomed its AIDS ministry into St. Francis of Assisi on West 31st Street, a Franciscan church outside the cardinal’s control, and he later ran the parish’s own AIDS program.

Patients with the disease were treated as lepers in those years, and he sat at their bedsides when many others would not. One dying man asked him, “Do you think God hates me?” Judge picked him up and kissed him, then rocked him in his arms without saying a word.

I mean this with all kindness- if you are not actually in danger, stewing over fear is not going to lead to you having a safer, freer or more beautiful life. It is going to make you a mark for conmen. If you do have multigenerational trauma, like so many of us do, the answer is trying to treat it

I also can't tell the full story yet, but when Gloria Steinem was a co-chair of the Women's March, language supporting sex workers vanished from the march platform—but it was put back. Between the lines: sex workers won that fight, over Gloria's objections. The story as I could report it:

I can't believe the amount of recent history revisionism in the UK. Response to Polish immigration was so severe that it successfully led to Brexit. BREXIT. And tanked British economy. This happened last decade, you can just Google it.

Post on X Remember in early 2000s thousands of Polish men immigrated over to UK cause their economy crashed but no one said fuck all cause they came to work, minded their own buisness an left our kids alone.....

Response Most Poles who emigrated to the UK in the early 2000s remember something completely different and photo of xenophobic graffiti
