Hey, remember how us radical trans extremists were warning that you have to go on the attack against transphobic Dems immediately because otherwise other politicians will take the lack of consequences as permission and the bigotry will spread? Yeah...

mainstream american anti-war news outlets don't exist, anti-war republicans don't exist, no anti-war party exists, and libertarians aren't real. the sooner you internalize these facts the freer you will be

Holy shit, this ad! I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

Judging by a quick look at Twitter, the right has decided just to pretend that Eric Schmitt did not, in fact, just shoot himself in the dick and that he totally owned Jack Smith.

How are we supposed to compete with a party in the grips of rube goldberg-ass thinking? Okay, so maybe he was in Atlanta? Does that prove he met with Willis? And if he met with Willis does that prove something deeper? How do you reach these people?

Much of the $78 million in one-time spending the city council approved last year consisted of council adds. To paraphrase Bob Kettle, sometimes the council does need to make tough choices, and that's exactly what they didn't do last year when they piled on tons of new spending using one-time funds.

Maritza Rivera says she is DISAPPOINTED that Katie Wilson isn't refilling the council's district slush fund. Fun fact: if you want to fund that in the budget, you can do that - you just have to find cuts to offset that.

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."
