This seems analogous in some ways to the moral and legal arguments surrounding the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. We need the next Congress to make abortion rights legal in all 50 states.

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC News headline "Young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death after HPV jab"

Adding to this: not just higher education but all education. Pre-k-12 needs an overhaul and a new guiding vision now that NCLB has gone bust.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

There's been a lot of understandable anger from the trans community at Talarico's comments. There's also been pushback along the lines of "it's like Obama and gay marriage, Paxton is worse." @radtranslib.bsky.social understands the stakes better than anyone and knows we need Talarico to win.

Giving the game away. MAHA is just capitalist greed. It's sad that the only thing they can think of to do with the extra time and energy they are getting from this alleged healthier lifestyle is to put more hours in at the office.

Jacobin's definition of working class is basically the same as the Republican Party's. And it's defined that way for much the same reason--to get a sample that has the maximum level of hostility toward liberals.

Of course they did. Everyone knew they would. Abolish ICE, prosecute those responsible, and prevent these human rights violations from ever happening again.

I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Maybe Talrico has had a genuine change of heart. But if he or his advisors think you need to shift right on trans issues in order to win Texas, I would just point to Andy Beshear in Kentucky, who remains the most popular Dem governor in the U.S. time.com/article/2026...

RFK Jr. is not a principled critic of the agrochemical industry. With him, it's hard to say where the Dunning-Kruger effect ends and plain corruption begins. The fact that MAHA still regards him with cultish devotion means that the movement cannot and should not be taken seriously.

whether it's mail ballots, the godforsaken ballroom, or one of Trump's other lawless schemes, the GOP justices have the same move: shield Trump from substantive review by keeping lower courts mired in procedural BS, thus prolonging lawbreaking as long as possible ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Interesting to look at this in Alabama; no surprise these numbers are low in the four major cities and the Black Belt, but Trump is also negative in Tuscaloosa and Auburn and not especially strong in Shelby or Limestone counties, two fast-growing and traditionally Republican areas.
