Democrats should not pay any attention to hysterical Republican transphobia because solidarity is the correct and moral choice for a healthy democracy. But also, because now is the time to be a spiteful aggressive bastard. Because the people love it when it's in the service of justice.

I know this is about children, but I think adults need mirrors AND doors too. No matter the group they belong to. Because if you were raised right, you will crave both. And if you weren't raised right, you need what you were deprived of to heal you so you won't be a reactionary detriment to society.

Let me pull away from books to turn to toys. Black children desperately need black dolls. Y'know who else needs black dolls? White children. A mirror for one, a sliding door for another.

I write about democracy. I have been following the president's public comments about elections closely. At a recent rally, he told his followers to "cheat like hell." We've been looking for some grand plot at the top to interfere with the midterms. Suppose it's simpler than that. Pardons. Again.

It's more like, if someone says "The gun went off, and a person was shot," necessary facts are being left out of the narrative. You can and should regulate dangerous tools, and if someone provides dangerous tools, knowing of the danger, you should make them jointly responsible.

A thought exercise for transphobic Democrats: replace the "transgender" with "Jewish" in the ads and notice how uncomfortable you suddenly get. There is slightly more trans people in the U.S. (0.95%) than German Jews (0.75%) before the Holocaust. Can't you see how dangerous your slippery slope is?

This thread, I think, makes a good distinction. The conduct of the Trump administration is no longer surprising or shocking, but it still does, and should, shock the conscience: a phrase that refers not to the unexpectedness, but the brazen cruelty of the actions.

25 years ago, I was a visitor to Atlanta. The day before, I flew out of Logan Airport in Boston to a trade show at the Georgia World Congress Center. Same terminal as the hijackers. The presenter took the stage, shaken, and said that a plane hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was on fire.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
