Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.

I'm gonna need politicians running for office to stop asking for my vote without telling me how they're gonna punish the people responsible for all this and how they're gonna be different than the last Dem administration

The last time Trump lost the Presidency and tried to overturn the results, we also voted in unprecedented numbers but nothing happened to the people behind J6 because Biden & Co were too scared to jail Trump. The People did their job, Jon. This is about what you guys in power didn't do.

This is such a perfect example of how the courts are no match for Trump's authoritarian decrees. You can't un-chop down a tree that took 100 years to grow where it stood. Once it's down, it's too late for the "law" to apply. Same thing goes for the East Wing, the Kennedy Center, USAID, etc.

I just don't care about any ~law enforcement~ story coming out of this administration because the idea of this man enforcing laws is preposterous on its face. We're talking about an arsonist doing fire code inspections. You're a sucker if you engage with any of it in good faith

This is simply not generating either the volume or tone of scandal coverage that effectively ended Joe Biden's presidency when he was unable to produce a surgically-clean implementation of Donald Trump's totally unplanned & poorly timed withdrawal from Afghanistan: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

every time the media gets to ask Abdul El-Sayed a question they ask him to answer for something Hasan Piker said because they once did an event together. Yet the media never asks Republican candidates to answer for Elon Musk, the #1 Republican fundraiser this cycle and of all time. It's odd!

The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

Musk is trying to help the regime steal the midterms by spreading lies and misinformation. Democrats and progressive organizations need to treat X like a fascist propaganda network—because it is. X will be part of their campaign to deny the results and refuse to seat duly elected representatives.

This isn't a case of abusing some loophole or misusing discretionary authority. The law is unambiguous and he's breaking it, simple as that. If Congress isn't going to do anything about breaking the law that already exists, passing another law to make it double-illegal accomplishes nothing.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

The right wing crash out over asian students celebrating at a UT football game reveals that all along the true goal of reactionary colorblindness was never “meritocracy” but resegregation. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Color-blind meritocracy was, for many years, a successful rhetorical strategy for undermining antidiscrimination law and excluding Black people from selective schools and prominent positions. That’s why so many former segregationists seemed to suddenly embrace the concept in the 1970s. For them, resegregation—not color-blindness—was always the goal. As long as the success of some immigrants could be used to paint Black students as undeserving, color-blind meritocracy was good. But now many on the right see a new problem: too many Asian Americans in elite spaces. Their success, therefore, must be portrayed as a sinister theft of real (white) Americans’ birthright.

The declining “social trust” that the administration warned against is, of course, not the fault of these students. The problem is bigots like Bo French who cannot accept into their community people who do not share their race and religion, and those who monetize or otherwise profit from that bigotry by spreading it through social media. Like the proverbial child who kills their parents and asks for mercy as an orphan, they are responsible for the problem they are decrying.

IN RETROSPECT, it was the correct read about Washington football that when the head coach kinda sorta tried to leave and the starting QB 100% did try to leave and had to be legally threatened to stay, it was a sign that something was rotten in Denmark
