Somehow I got on a list of TX republican voters & now I get regular text messages that Gina Hinojosa voted to use my tax $ to help children transition. In real life, I live in the northeast. But my husband's dirt bike buddies are super concerned about protecting women's sports (so they say).

I hope that even if Dem leadership falls back on status quo fecklessness (likely), the members representing districts traumatized by Trump's storm troopers will not let this go. We need to keep hammering all of our Reps to abolish DHS & start over.

The party of bigotry and bloodlust is flexing, knowing that there’s at least a chance that they can plow through the laws of the land and the righteous among us, to consolidate their deranged, fascistic desires. But I think there’s at least a chance that we can bury these dastardly fucks for good.

We've loved on the 2 cats at a local hardware store since they were kittens. We look forward to going there to see them & make a point to patronize the store for things we could easily get elsewhere. It's not hard to quantify the impact they have on that store's bottom line.

I think we need a more targeted term than small business owner. The family who owns multiple car dealerships that they inherited from their father is in a different class from the folks who started a bakery last year & work their asses off to make amazing sourdough bread.

Agree re:tension. Harry says the monarchy is toxic but doesn't say it should be abolished. Does he believe his family is anointed by God to hold a position of privilege that's passed down through the bloodline? Frustrating because he gets close to the underlying problem w/royalty & stops short.

I know, kind of funny that some SB residents don't want to pay for flood mitigation for other SB residents after they were turned down by the state & FEMA. They were fine with the rest of us paying for it though.

Beach access is controlled by private beach clubs or homeowners who build walkways over the sea wall & post No Trespassing signs. Public access is very limited. Also, SB has a crappy attitude toward cyclists. So yeah, no more public $ for wealthy homeowners who want private beaches.

Exactly, go up to Hartshorne Woods Park Rocky Point area that overlooks Sea Bright to understand why it constantly floods. It's a tiny strip of overdeveloped land between the ocean & the inlet. No amount of tax payer funded mitigation that will change that. Almost the entire beach is private.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

When I began riding my bike on the gravel roads surrounding Trump's golf club in Bedminster, I got a sense of what obscene wealth looks like. These are massive estates on unpaved roads (to keep down on traffic). I've seen plenty of wealthy NJ suburbs but this is Downton Abbey level aristocracy.

I make this observation as an atheist. The reason James Talarico has a puncher's chance against Ken Paxton is because of how clearly the contrast of his character and message calls the witness of self-confessed Christians in Texas into question. www.reddit.com/r/FortWorth/...

As @brandyjensen.bsky.social once wrote, "Too often these days I find myself in the position of defending someone I think is annoying from someone I know is dangerous." I can work with annoying. I don't have to like them. I can't work with fascists. Democrats should have a laser focus on fascists.

I live in that district part time but don't vote there. The district includes the posh Berkshires plus a few rural hill towns with a motley crew of aging hippies & redneck MAGA types. The guy who plows for us in winter has a Whalen sign in his yard. Will be interesting to watch.

He's great at framing the issues. I love watching him break through the chaos with clear, concise, emotionally powerful language. We definitely need that from the Dems. Whether he would be a great administrator is still unknown. Good to have him in the fight.

The “excesses” of “woke”, to the extent that any exist, have been comparatively trivial.
