Seems important. If only we had a free press in major media markets, this would be big.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Hope both the State and City of New York get some injunctions filed soon. Maybe we could convince @democracydocket.com to start a branch office for trans rights. Nobody fights harder or wins more than they do! And what about @aclu.org ?

PREACH! We are and have always been a nation founded by the wealthy, governed by the wealthy, for the benefit of the wealthy, with enough goodies tossed to the rest of us to keep us pacified. Our current form of government cannot support any more than token egalitarianism. #FALTSC

The only thing they're persuading voters is they'll back down and fold to whatever fascist nonsense Republicans come up with, abandoning the real people affected by it to abuse, terror, deprivation, exclusion, and death.

Because most people don't have a clear understanding of how government works, and more importantly, why it is now ceasing to work, we do need to explain some of the more salient causes so that we don't carry them forward into a new society. #FALTSC

A Venn diagram labeled "U.S. Constitution" illustrating that the overlap between "Fear of the Masses" and "Fear of Strong Central Government" produces "Government of the Wealthy, by the Wealthy, for the Wealthy."

Happy Constitution Day! As many already know, our Constitution has been in declining health for some time. I don't believe the patient is going to recover, and I don't think it's worth reviving. The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can begin to hope, dream, think, and plan for a new system.

Someday in the not-too-distant future, we will have have new form of government in America that more successfully fulfills the egalitarian promise of our Declaration of Independence. It's time to begin thinking about how that government will work, and I know of no better place to start than this.

Who will vote for Talarico only if he betrays trans people? If trans people are so unimportant to you that our issues and our rights don't matter, aren't you also saying you don't need our votes? But if you do need our votes, you should not shit on us, should you? You can't have it both ways.

I don't think we should be judgemental about this, it makes me sad. It's not that Gen Z don't want to party, but pervasive surveillance culture and the destruction of third spaces have made it impossible. I wish we'd built a world where they were safe to have fun.

Though the reasons are different in the US, we have similar problems. I believe that a truly participatory and egalitarian form of government, free from domination by monied interests, will only be possible if we throw out what we have now. A kind of revolution, to fulfill the promise of equality.

Frondescent @frondescent.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Even the Founders knew monied interests were poison to democracy. It's pathetic how little the rich have to spend to make sure these taxes are not implemented. But they've also managed to make the rest of us forget, over and over again, this fundamental truth.

Just a brilliant essay. Inspiring, even if you see nothing you haven't seen before. But that's the time we're in: all the notions and ideals we need have been with us since the founding. Now it is time to invent a new nation that unequivocally lives up to them.

Gary Miller, city council member in Danville, VA. This should be the model for all politics, local and national. Nothing more, nothing less. Why, after 250 years of "progress" toward a more perfect union, is Dr. Miller the exception rather than the rule?

It’s lovely seeing fans around the world enjoying US culture. But they haven’t been lied to. Like all countries, fun things exist alongside horrible things. The true lesson is that the US is a far better place when it is engaged with the world, not when it shuts itself away.

To say that the Congress is a check upon the President presupposes two things: 1. That the President is not to be trusted without being looked after; or in other words, that a thirst for absolute power is the natural disease of the Presidency.

If only the wealthy can protect their rights in court, that is not an egalitarian society. Democracy is a meaningless concept if only the wealthy have any chance in the legal system. Everyone deserves equal protection not only of, but also from the law. I'd rate our current system a 2 out of 10.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
