"Gouged" is OUT! I started this book angry about all the ways corporations are ripping us off. I finished it hopeful, because once you know how they're doing it—you can start to fight back. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this. Now go read it.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

If you care about trans people it's way past time for you to get a lot fucking louder about it. They're trying to build a Fourth Reich upon our ashes and liberals still call us an issue and a distraction. They want to wipe us out. Act like you know it.

This morning, the New York Times said it believes deporting without being convicted of a crime is more legal than deporting based on speech. It’s also desperately assuring its readers they will be safe even though Trump is already exploring how to deport citizens. The NYT is run by fascists.
Extremely sloppy infographic from the new york times:

What Rights Do Immigrants Have?

Could ICE seek to deport you if you have not been convicted of a crime?

Citizen - no
Green-card holder - unlikely
Valid visa - unlikely
No valid visa - yes

Could ICE seek to deport you based on your speech?

Citizen - No
Green-card holder - No
Valid visa - No
No valid visa - Yes

It isn’t the “woke agenda” that’s killing Dems electorally, it’s the leadership of weaklings and fools like Schumer. McConnell would have gone to the mattresses on this—lost the battle but won the war—because politics is not about expressing concern and “going along,” it’s about wielding power.
