been seeing social media platforms do this a lot lately: they'll switch up the UI or do frequent redesigns for ads/sponsored content specifically. with the intention of making you watch ads for longer without you realizing. tiktok and instagram specifically.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

You can't be branding large numbers of accounts as "rude" and defaulting to hiding their posts, suspending people aggressively on tenuous interpretations of posts, and then with the other side of your mouth "well if you're so bothered about transphobia you're welcome to Do Your Own Moderation"

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

Yup. I also find it gross to play the "just trying to win <insert state here>" shit because what I'm tired of isn't left right or whatever what I'm tired of is people running for office to follow and not lead. 'I'll go where the wind blows'. I can't vote for that anymore. Principles matter.

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. It's time to treat career arsonists with the contempt they've earned instead of imagining a fake world where they're reasonable interlocutors

'attack a minority who typically vote for us, piss off our own base, & just hope we attract more voters across the aisle than we lose' is a risky galaxy-brain tactic to try when there's 'record high fuel prices' sitting right there. but they know this, of course. they simply don't want progress

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

truly the heart of the argument from everyone who's defending transphobic Dem candidates is the implicit idea that anti-trans policies are a winning position electorally. there simply isn't any data to support this! how are you so certain it will win more votes than it loses? it's all vibes to them.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
