The Aristocrats! This is how craven, calculated, and dedicated the GOP is to amassing power, money, and inflicting harm. Paxton is vile & bad for Texas, and she supports him because it will boost HER political aspirations.

When Trump posted a video of the Obamas as apes the NYT claimed "it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware" that he posted it
NYT: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."

“My cousin’s brother-in-law knows a guy who works at the pentagon, he said…” Variations on a “personal connection” is how the right weaponizes disinfo thru social media These ppl were bigots already, then they got “proof” for their beliefs, & their “justified” actions destroy our communities

Like I truly don’t understand how you could have been anywhere in the vicinity of Springfield Ohio even before the election and thought that he’d only go after “criminals.” Trump, Vance, and CO werent subtle in the slightest. I can only really conclude this was a lie the median voter told themselves

And they don’t even speak of any of the harms of contracting measles (many life long!), they purposely also minimize the severity of measles by only counting death. Blindness, hearing loss, encephalitis, miscarriages…anti-vaxxers hide all other devastating impacts under the rug.

The "health freedom” movement is run by health authoritarians. They want to impose their anti-vaccine agenda on you, to threaten and intimidate scientists, and to let parents treat their children as disposable objects. This needs to be opposed, not appeased. My latest.

“Health Freedom” Leaders are Health Authoritarians
"The centerpiece of the MAHA and health freedom agenda has been removal of mRNA shots."

MAGA's peak of masculinity, the strong man, then manliest of the men, looks fucking awful. His greasepaint is so messily applied and hilariously dark. This is your guy? Really? 🤡 And what is going on with Zuck's eyes here? Is that a wrinkly white halo of bad concealer?

I remember when I was young that my folks had a 12.5% mortgage that they refinanced to 8.75%(!) The only reason I remember because they were so excited they told us kids, and it was a really big deal and we had a special dinner. 8.75%, a really big deal!

That shouldn't disqualify, but do you want to give a signal of "don't really care" when you're in a huge # of applicants? When you're starting out & have no body of work to stand on, how you choose to present yourself stands out When you DO have a body of work, that's when this no longer matters

But it gets ship of thesesused from “I want her to fight more visibly” to “she doesn’t fight,” and then “she has never done anything for us.” And then mindlessly repeated by other trans women who should not be attacking their own like this.

She helped get legal protections enacted, sponsored legislation against the trans panic defense, and worked against federal attacks on trans healthcare. Those are concrete contributions.

Mamdani refuses to condemn Trump's banning the press from the White House. He's effectively breaking the press' picket line. Mamdani said he's willing to let Trump rename Penn Station after himself, because he wants Trump's money. This is a lot of things, but it sure as hell is not domination.

That part. The more that it appears there could be a Blue Wave, the more "not good enough" messaging is going to be boosted in the final weeks before the election GOP & Leftists want Dems to lose; so it's all hands on deck to get the left (& "allies") angry enough to stay home "to prove a point"
