You have no idea how he's gonna vote. He could vote exactly the same as Collins. You just don't know. All you do truly know is he is a liar. And you're willing to give a pass to a guy with a Nazi tattoo who treats women like garbage. OK then.

Platner very much is a discernible type, but it’s not “flawed but basically decent working class joe.” It’s “prep school creep with a sadistic streak and an ironclad confidence that it will never catch up to him.“

So many people insisted that Graham Platner was just a growing boy who couldn’t be held responsible for a Nazi tattoo and some bad behavior in relationships and the Democrats are so desperate to appeal to white men who they will never sway that they will tolerate this raggedy ass man.

If you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

The neoliberal tactic to destroy a movement: 1. Join support of said movement 2. Criticize the unifying policy of said movement 3. Spread the criticism through the pundit class 4. Run poll on policy following widespread propaganda 5. Point to poll as reason why policy must change 6. Leave movement

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time
John Booth, a 19-year-old apprentice who joined a Luddite attack on a textile mill in April 1812. He was injured, detained and died after being allegedly tortured to give up the identity of his fellow Luddites.
Booth's last words became a legend: "Can you keep a secret?" he whispered to the local priest, who attested that he could.
The dying Booth replied, "So can I."

It really cannot be emphasized enough that the Holocaust was modeled after the American campaign to displace and exterminate Indigenous people. This country drew up that blueprint.

Maybe this is my lifelong ODD, but in the face of an unwinnable battle, making the oppressor as miserable as possible while they force you to comply is far more satisfying than folding. Say it with me: FUCK YOU, MAKE ME. Isn’t that so much better than twisting yourself into knots and caving?

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.
As a fascist trend, the anti-gender movement supports ever strengthening forms of authoritarianism. Its tactics encourage state powers to intervene in university programs, to censor art and television programming, to forbid trans people their legal rights, to ban LGBTQI people from public spaces, to undermine reproductive freedom and the struggle against violence directed at women, children, and LGBTQI people. It threatens violence against those, including migrants, who have become cast as demonic forces and whose suppression or expulsion promises to restore a national order under duress.
