Unless Dems run the usual playbook: "look forward, not back." Water under the bridge. Let's move on. But we'll write some sternly worded letters!

My first thought: how many of these "calming areas" are there? Because every single one of the motherf***ers who had anything to do with this belongs in one.

Text: The Florida facility’s staff referred to the enclosures as “calming areas.” Investigators said their use at the immigration detention center violated federal standards and did not align with 'standards for humane treatment.'”

Very telling that Google search results for "angie nixon official site" yield one sponsored result: the DSCC, with multiple lines of links. The DSCC is not supporting her, but will pretend to and take your money anyway. Apropos of nothing, Chuck Schumer is a dick.

It's clear that many religious people's conception of their god is something they've constructed for themselves, created in their own image (not the other way around). It's why as an atheist I have more in common with so many religious people, politically and morally, than I do with many atheists. 🤷‍♀️

Teen moms are shamed and held up as pariahs. Women who have "too many" kids, women who have "too few" kids, or no kids, or who wait "too long" to have kids are also shamed and held up as pariahs. No winning for girls or women, no matter what we do. Perfectly sensible to patriarchal conservatives.

"This political season, the major dynamic among Democrats is an “ideological” contest between the new “far left” and party moderates. I think it is less ideological than primordial."

It’s fun watching voices who attacked anyone who even expressed difficulty voting because they didn’t want to support genocide turn around and encourage people not to vote because they might lose a primary. Hopefully this vote blue no matter who nonsense has been exposed at this point.

The so-called "center" is so far off the right wing rails, establishment Dems are virtually indistinguishable from Ronald f***cking Reagan. That's where reducing "polarization" has landed us.
