Newsom is now the nation’s most prominent Trump Democrat — a governor aggressively using his power to empower & enrich Trump’s billionaires. If a Dem candidate successfully spotlights this in the 2028 presidential primary, they will have a shot to defeat him & win the nomination

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

Cis lib: no, no, no. You don't get it. You have to vote for the transphobic Democrat because otherwise bad policies would affect ME and not just you.

Transphobia is a losing strategy. If you’re telling trans people to eat shit for the cause you either know this and want cover for your own transphobia or you don’t know this and think it’s morally acceptable to mark some bodies and lives for death in the name of expediency. Fix your hearts or die.

That’s part of why this is so frustrating - liberals want the *credit* for being trans inclusive while saying and doing transphobic things because they have it in their head that they’re the “good guys” so any action they take is good.

Jon Husted’s staffer took part in “Nazi military exercises” & had a “Tales from Rhodesia” Spotify playlist. The fact that significant swathes of the media ignore the multiple major Republican campaign staffers outed as Neo-Nazis (to focus on Hasan Piker instead) is journalistic malpractice.

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

The first novel written by a Black woman in North America disappeared for over a century until its rediscovery in the 1980s. First published 167yrs ago today, on September 5, 1859, Harriet Wilson's "Our Nig" did not sell well because she highlighted the hypocrisy of the North during slavery
book:

Our Nig; or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black by Harriet E. Wilson.

The first novel released in 1859 by a Black woman in North America that disappeared from print for over a century

if centrists didn't want to be put in a situation where the democrats have to reform the electoral system and judiciary within the first two years of the next president's term, perhaps they should have done it when it wasn't an emergency. if we do not do it, we will die under worse than Jim Crow.

It would be cool if the FBI would actually do something useful for a change and start investigating the lynchings of Black people that are becoming an epidemic across the South. The world's purported preeminent law enforcement agency sitting on its hands as this happens makes me physically ill.

Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

You're making the lives of Trans individuals harder through your Transphobia. "I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids’ health and safety." That includes supporting Trans kids by affirming their gender through allowing them to play on the team they identify with.

What annoys me about takes like Billy's here is how damn stupid they are when their entire premise is granted. Say purely for the sake of argument, he's correct that libs are silly for humoring trans people and we're all just ugly crossdressers. HOW IS THAT THE SAME AS TRYING TO RIG A U.S. ELECTION?

I wish this "speed cameras are cash grabs" trope would die. We have recent studied in the U.S. showing that after an initial surge in ticketing, fines decline as behavior changes and people speed less.
As I’m not a fan of them I’m all for leaving Cash Generating Camera’s off the list, wait sorry “Speed Camera’s”. Bike Lanes like c’mon in urban areas they work pretty well if planned out properly.

It got muddled b/c it was mostly seen as incidental to getting at Trump himself, but Graham didn't just vaguely lean on Raffensperger. He told him to falsify the tally by not counting ballots. Straight-up criminal election fraud no different from telling a poll worker to go dump votes in the trash.
