Democrats have decided, for the second election, not to respond to Musk's Nazi-like propaganda against trans people. And that will probably work this time because of gas prices. But it might not. And even if it doesn't, why would you miss this chance to expose someone who wants to destroy you?

It’s so fucking frustrating they the world seems to be built on the idea a family is no more than 4 people. Booking hotels, etc. For what it’s worth, booking adjoining rooms with one adult per room has worked well for our 5-person family, but Disney is easily the best at this arrangement.

Win or lose, James Talarico's campaign is a major threat to the GOP, especially in the long term. Many evangelicals don't even know "liberal Christian" is a possibility. He is showing that it is. And the Christian right is *freaking out*. www.salon.com/2026/09/21/j...

We’re having different discussions. My overall point is that it’s both a strategic mistake to discard trans people, and a tactical mistake to engage conservatives using the talking points they bring. It would be like countering “pro-life” saying “we’re anti-life.” Don’t engage it, reframe it.

No, my line does not. But this isn’t some situation where bad-faith posturing rescues you. When the party that is the nominal “left” in our country tells trans people their rights are disposable, don’t be surprised when those voters disengage.

Again. While there is not a choice of whether to be governed, there is still a choice to lend support. People have different perspectives on whether the former is more important than the latter, but you don’t get to tell people they don’t still have they choice.

This isn’t really that hard. Voting _for_ someone is a show of support. Politics-brained people seem to get this idea in their head that individuals must support either one or the other and the actual choice is _whether_ to support someone or not.

Over on Xitter, Whiskey Pete's chief propagandist tried to rebut big WaPo story & in the process 1) confirmed the report described is real & highly classified (confirming it is itself a crime) and 2) claims that Whiskey Pete's top Generals tell him he's doing something really stupid all the time.
@SeanParnellASW
Publishing highly classified assessments from the Secretary’s orders book is a crime.
It’s a betrayal of the force.
And much of what they’re publishing is inaccurate.
Of course, we demand candid military advice. Non-concurs are standard. The Secretary sees them constantly. That’s how you run a real military.
We are in great shape around the world.
This story isn’t about readiness.
It’s TDS and PDS — they hate President Trump and Secretary Hegseth more than they love America.

"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

The city of Tempe, Arizona, says it is ending its Flock program
Tempe, AZ - The City of Tempe has turned off its Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) system and will end its contract with the company. The cameras are no longer collecting license plate data and will be removed by Flock. The City will not seek another company to replace the system.
While the cameras have been a useful tool for Tempe Police, helping officers solve crimes, recent cases involving the misuse of automated license plate reader systems in Arizona and nationwide have raised concerns about the risks that come with the technology.Tempe Police has found no misuse of its own Flock system. The department audits its searches each month, and no improper use has been identified.
"These cameras have helped our police officers do their jobs, and we don't discount that," said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods. "But the risk of misuse is too great. We have to be able to provide public safety in a way that maintains the trust of our community. For Tempe, that means taking these cameras down."
"Any law enforcement tool used by the City must not pose a risk of infringing on residents' civil liberties," said Tempe Councilmember Bobby Nichols. "We have a responsibility to ensure that these technolo- gies are only employed if they present a narrowly tailored solution to a compelling government interest. I'm grateful to the City staff for this quick action and responsiveness to constituents' concerns."Residents may continue to see Flock cameras in Tempe until the company removes its equipment. Data previously collected by the system is stored for 30 days and then automatically deleted unless it is connected to an ongoing case or investigation. In those cases, the data may be retained as needed for the investigation. No new license plate data is being collected now that the system has been turned off.
Ending the use of the Flock system will change how Tempe Police approaches some investigations. Officers will continue to use other investigative tools and law enforcement partnerships to prevent crime, solve cases and respond when the community needs
them.The decision follows steps Tempe took earlier this month in response to community concerns. On Aug. 10, the City stopped sharing its Flock data with other law enforcement agencies. Tempe Police also launched a public Transparency Portal so residents could see how the system was being used. The portal will be discontinued now that the Flock system has been turned off.
The City of Tempe remains fully committed to both community safety and transparency. Residents can continue to track Tempe's public safety performance through the City's Strategic Management Performance Measures.
