The narrative that Americans are divided on abortion is a lie to hide just how undemocratic bans are—and convince lawmakers to take weaker stances on abortion. ~70% of Deep South voters oppose abortion bans. I wrote about the implications of this:

Another source familiar with the campaign said, “I don’t even think it’s disdain for Maine so much as it’s just disdain for, more generally, people. They want to run this campaign through numbers and spreadsheets. And wherever a campaign is connecting with people or doing anything quirky or unique, they’re like, ‘This is bad and weird.’”

Here’s the truth: We can protect Social Security and even expand benefits if everyone paid their fair share! @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social
A post from Senator Elizabeth Warren. The text says, "A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share."

“The truth is, nobody wants to cut Social Security benefits except for a handful of Republicans & the billionaires on Wall Street who tell them what to do. That’s why it’s no surprise that this farce of a hearing was all for the benefit of billionaire donor Harlan Crow.” Read Alex’s new op-ed here:

As I was saying.
A screenshot of a thread of three posts by Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) discussing Democratic Party politics and transgender rights.
First post (2/4):
"The push to abandon trans people within the Democratic party has not been organic. It's been funded from the very top by the wealthy donors and consultants. Base voters on the other hand have punished candidates for attempting to abandon trans people. But the money won't be deterred."
Second post (3/4):
"They're constantly putting money into think tanks, media publications, and friendly substack grifters like Matthew Yglesias to get the Dem professional class to agree to abandon trans people. They've been banging that drum for 2 years now nonstop saying it's trans people's fault."
Third post (4/4):
"That's what this is about. It's them following the lead of Labour andopening the door to force the Dem platform to officially abandon trans rights for at least a generation.
You don't hate the donors and the consultant class enough."

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

So when libs say, you need to do incremental progress like gay marriage, it completely ignores the rollbacks that have happened in 5 years. It is every aspect of trans life from where we use the bathroom, how we are addressed, what our IDs say, to even censorship on discussions about our existence.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.
