Democrats say the midterms are about the price of gas, food, and healthcare. Republicans say the midterms are about a trans kid who once played high school sports. Donald Trump says the midterms are about a gold-embossed arch and ballroom. Weary voters just want peace and quiet.

It was our first essay feedback lesson of the year today—and I added two reminders this time around before we got into the weeds of how they did, growth area trends, etc. ⓵ The goal is growth ⓶ Your score doesn't define you (Lots of nodding when I went over these, btw)
2 reminders for students before getting feedback

I wish people who "just have questions" about trans issues would spend even five minutes just *trying* to research trans issues. Because the inevitable conclusion I get from 95% of people who do this is that all they really want is their internal discomfort with trans people validated.

God almighty Once again, I am begging Dems not to freaking throw trans kids under the bus in the hope of pleasing those mythical “centrist” voters (time.com/7296246/tran...) & once again I am tapping the freaking sign about trans athlete’s & women’s sports (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41633803/)
Groundbreaking study finds no evidence that trans athletes are “a threat” to women’s sports

We need to protect Social Security for the next generation.
The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

Remember, after the Allies defeated Nazism, the very first person they hung for inciting genocide was Julius Streicher, the multimillionaire owner of a popular propaganda newspaper that chose "the Jews are our misfortune" as its slogan. I don't see how that language is different from Lyman Stone's.

Frost: It’s too dangerous for you to visit Haiti for a day. Yet, they want to expel 350,000 people from this country. It is deeply racist, and part of this bigger project that Trump has of essentially expelling Black and brown people from this nation. And this is part of that.
