PLEASE READ: You might see a headline that the Trump admin has resumed the sucide hotline (988) for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. At face value, that sounds good, but it's probably very bad. Here's why (THREAD):

This type of dude is always comparing online discourse he doesn't like to being *burned at this stake*, because (of course) this "issue" has never affected his real life in any way whatsoever.

As heating oil prices hit record highs, Mainers are eyeing winter with growing trepidation
At the Farmington Fair, western Maine residents said they're taking a hit from higher prices, and some are worried how they'll make it through winter.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

During my ride this morning, as a friend and I were going up a hill, one asshole repeatedly honked at the driver directly behind us who was waiting for a safe time to pass. It was maybe 30 seconds? So many drivers turn into impatient toddlers the second a bike is in front of them.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Humoring conservatives & acting like they make good points over the last 30 years brought us here. You never have to listen to them for the rest of our lives.

I know it goes without saying but as the right wing media-political complex runs from Trump we should remember that they played a leading role in--and gleefully profited from--enabling and promoting him. Accomplices trying to get off a sinking ship, trying to salvage what's left of their reputation

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

What’s most frustrating, and what we are working to try to get the Dem cmtes to understand, is that they don’t understand how or why trans attacks (and ones on immigrants) work. It’s all status threat. Besides the casual cruelty, ads like this make the problem worse. We can even measure it.
