Probably one of my bigger pet peeves is when something bad is happening here in the US (which yes, daily) and someone says “we” being collectively us. Let me be crystal clear: everything happening in this country currently ain’t got SHIT to do with me! I didn’t vote for this. ANY of the 3 times!

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

When the voters approve a map to help Democrats, it's nullified. When Republican legislators approve a map to help Republicans without going to the voters, it's allowed. The system is rigged to help the fascists.

More than anything, Republicans want Democrats to start to believe that it's hopeless so they won't bother to turn out. But the truth is that even the Virginia decision is not enough to prevent Democrats from taking the House if we have a wave election. But we have to have a wave election.

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
