In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

I would have more respect for these Democratic Senators if they just acknowledged Lindsey Graham was a duplicitous, war-crazed, sniveling liar who would say or do anything to keep himself close to the levers of power. We don’t need to do this decency dance every time one of these immoral fucks dies.

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.

Hey Maine, seems there’s no need to settle for a Schumer-picked elderly centrist OR a shady Nazi tattoo guy! Very progressive candidate also running to defeat the Republican who is concerned about Trump but not concerned enough not to vote for all his shit. Check out her platform, it’s good! ⬇️

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

If every other developed nation in the world can make universal healthcare work, maybe it's not the system that's complex, but our refusal to challenge big pharma and insurance giants.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Getting your defamation lawsuit struck under Rule 8 is roughly analogous to getting sent home early on the first day of school because you decided not to wear pants ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Lawsuits rarely get tossed under Rule 8. But then again, lawsuits rarely spend 85 meandering pages talking about things like the plaintiff’s “singular brilliance.”

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

The white washing of Charlie Kirk's life of hate by corporate media, Republicans, and even some Democrats is making me feel like I'm in the worst episode of The Twilight Zone. America is the best country for mediocre white conservative men who traffic in hate. Made into heroes in death.

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been. How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try. Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season. He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

As the Trump administration tries to remake society along apartheid lines, your vote to stop the assault, however unlikely, is absolutely essential.
