Here is how politics, in most cases, works: Rich and powerful interests, whether in fossil fuels, finance, big tech, media, meat, pharma or foreign governments, make a demand, and use their sophisticated tools to persuade a government to adopt it. The government adopts it. Please read whole🧵

The point about cops being able to just not go is so real. If a car invades the bike lane and hits you, and you even do call the cops, and they do deign to show up, in my experience they tend to treat you as you're sort of a nuisance making a fuss vs a motorist, who's a serious person.

"If you're evil, you're at least competent." Setting aside that this doesn't follow at all (there's lots of evil and incompetent people), this is so revealing of the way the right thinks about stuff. They think the only reason not to do the most cruel thing is a lack of either guts or capacity.

Officially fall starts about now, but I just don't agree. I think the seasons should start half way between the solstices and equinoxes. Winter is when the days are shortest, summer is when they're the longest. Late September isn't quite summer but it's not fall yet.

I just wish our government stood for anything at all other than trying to find new ways to terrorize more people is all. I wish it could do something good instead of bombing other countries, building concentration camps, and helping billionaires render everyone unemployable.

For one thing the "gender affirming care" thing is not a gotcha when it's referring to like lip fillers for cis women. For another, your boss forcing you to alter your body chemistry is not affirming! This is an outrageous wide scale violation of bodily autonomy not "gender affirming" anything.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I'll never vote for any democrat who's willing to throw trans people under the bus. First, I care about trans rights. Second, if they're willing to sacrifice trans people's rights in the hopes of winning, who *won't* they sell out? If you can't stand up for what's right you can't be trusted at all.

I need to stop saying words like "crazy" or "stupid" to describe illogical or nonsensical actions, but the thing is illogical or nonsensical don't quite capture what is meant by "that's a crazy idea" or "what a stupid thing to do." I need to find alternatives that work but it's not easy.

new Reddit troll post just hit and it’s a banger. PLEASE DOWNVOTE THESE WOMEN

The El Cerrito "Mean Girls" hijacking El Cerrito Social Media and Discussions Needs to Stop!
There are a few women hijacking El Cerrito social media. People refer to them as the "MEAN GIRLS." And these women need to stop their antics. The have commandeered the moderation process on sites like Nextdoor and Reddit. They ruthlessly attack others but then want anyone who is slightly critical of them removed, banned, whatever. They have silenced free speech and political discussion with their relentless attempts to control others. Several were Nextdoor moderators, and many people feel unfairly censored by the Mean Girls
They call political candidates for city council
"Nazi" and "Transphobic" or "4chan memelords." It's sickening
Then they write hit pieces on Oakland Review of Books and post them to Nextdoor and Reddit. Always claiming to be the victims, never the aggressors, but criticizing everyone around them.
Some have been appointed to city committees.
Others may try running for office.They use multiple Reddit "burner accounts" to try and downvote the people that they have pissed off in their relentless quest to create Chaos in El Cerrito.
Please downvote these women. See their multiple accounts and watch them try to attack others online.
We together as a community can put an end to this cyber nonsense.
Political Free Speech has its place in El Cerrito. The Mean Girls shouldn't be dictating whose posts remain and whos posts get deleted. They shouldn't be lobbying for library taxes and bike lanes and incumbents that put these young women into powerful positions within the city.
I have to wonder, who are they working for to be this invested in local government in their 30s? Most women this age are going to parties, and taking wine busses to Napa, while others are raising small children and just getting by at a stressful time in their lives. Most women this age are not giving speeches about social media at city council meetings on random Tuesdays or trying to raise their own taxes along with yours to buy a new library building at a BART station. What's in it for them?
