Exactly, by choice, especially after the brief BLM diversity push a few years ago. Country quite intentionally avoids non-white listeners and a music writer knows this.

Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

yeah. relatedly I’ve heard people on here several times rate masking as more important than vaccines, which is tantamount to soft vaccine denial. masks are fallible and most people are not ultra strict with how they wear them!

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

The New York Times has now run two prominently placed stories about Zohran Mamdani's comms department coordinating with unpaid influencers as if it is a huge scandal. Will they cover Trump using our tax dollars to buy literal campaign ads as if it is equivalent scandalous? If not why not?

This point, from my recent interview with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for TNR, is so crucial. Trans people are desperate for relief from the relentless Republican attacks impacting all of us. When Democrats move right, they signal relief may not be coming, and that engenders a lot of despair.

And so for Democrats to say, They have a point on some of this, it is engendering a lot of hopelessness and a lot of fear in the trans community, because we have been just trying to hold on, hoping that this time would end and we would be able to get back to where we were five years, six years ago. And what Democrats are signaling is, like, No, we’re going to keep things as they are, and maybe even make them worse.

Yuma Yamaguchi is absolutely slaying with the Goodbye Lara soundtrack. Atmospheric, texturally innovative, emotionally complex, one of the great anime soundtracks up there with Vinland Saga, Made in Abyss, and Houseki no Kuni. Makes me cry at least once a week.

As someone who has been covering transgender rights for years, let me be clear about something: When you see capitulation over sports, know that it NEVER stops at sports. And in fact, Turek illustrated this just yesterday when he embraced a federal ban on funding for all trans care.

A lot of people doing the "it's fine for a politician to say they don't support gender surgery for minors", who don't seem to know that the anti transgender movement is fighting hard to redefine "minor" SPECIFICALLY for trans people as 25 or 30 because "brains don't mature until then" nonsense
