@gluesenkampperez.house.gov this is how you run for office and support your constituents. I know you don't care about trans people in your district but when one group can lose rights, any group can lose rights.

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report

You can see it in the way cis "allies" have almost fully adopted the framework in the comment threads at this point. I've been trying to say it all along that this is where we would head if we did not hold firm on our values. We must hold firm still moving forward.

I am struggling with my vote in November. I'm in her district and she does not represent me at all. I would never vote for Braun but morally, I don't know that I can vote for her. I understand the House leadership is at stake but that doesn't absolve her of past votes. She does not represent me.

I live in Lewis County. Google Murphy for sheriff. The sheriff race here has been wild. He was fired and is still running for office. The lawyers that represent several towns are related and have run the county for a while but one just stormed out of Winlock. And problems with the coroner. And more!

The area is very purple but there is a very loud Republican base. The local politicians are so corrupt it's almost jaw-dropping. We just haven't had a strong democratic candidate. Brent Hennrich ran a pretty good campaign but has his own baggage and couldn't pull it off.

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.

I grew up in western Kentucky. One day I was playing with a neighborhood kid and we found a hoodie in a puddle. My friend picked it up and said let's drag it around through the mud and pretend it's a catholic. As a 10 year old Catholic kid I was dumbfounded. My first exposure to overt prejudices.
