I’ll also say, vis a vis Obama and The Gays pre-Obgerfell, that community was not then under threat from a political pogrom like trans people are today

I’m not proposing an Olympics of oppression but I will say that if I were an immigrant citizen and the Democratic contender was aping JD Vance/Trump “they’re eating the dogs of the people that live there” type rhetoric about my community I think I could be excused for not giving them my vote

Like I think the rest of us should be pragmatic in our voting but if you’re being unpersoned by the “good” candidate I think you get a pass and can give vent to whatever righteous fury you want on the internets

Trans people are a small minority and they’re bearing the full brunt of an international campaign of psychotic demonization right now and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone trans for refusing to vote for the lesser evil that is perfectly happy to underbus them in pursuit of power

That tendency usually makes exceptions for an ill-defined “The People” or “The working class” that does not have any complicity in America’s sins and needs only to be led to the ideological promised land by the vanguard, which is also not complicit

Always amazed to see my fellow AMERICANS making this argument. How much blood is on our hands and how culpable are we the mostly disengaged and apathetic citizenry for the past century-and-a-half of quasi-imperial exploits (to say nothing of the domestic horrors)?

Certainly the pro-Russian administration has locked down all communications from HHS and fired every civil servant they think might be disloyal to the regime. I could see leaks in other scenarios but it’s unlikely here

We all remember how the right simply memory holed Dubya and came roaring back with the only-partially-astroturfed Tea Party. But the future, as Strummer said, is unwritten

I wouldn't worry about Rahm. He's going nowhere. I worry about the fact that Jeffries and Schumer are in leadership positions because a majority of their caucuses wanted them there.

The consultocracy’s obsession with winning Trump voters is nothing more than an opening gambit at quashing any movement towards progressive positions with a view to 2029.

WI-01 is pretty purple so this shouldn't be a surprise, but... if you engineered the perfect Republican candidate for that district in a lab -- empty-suit yes man with nice guy "sensible moderate" vibes -- you couldn't do better than Steil. If he's in trouble...

Ah yes, like when my Viking ancestors pillaged England it was cool beans because the English were like “We’re all pallid here,” and when AEthelred the Unready ethnically cleansed some of their their descendants out of existence they were like “No hard feelings, my brother in melanin deprivation”

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

After 2008 most in Washington were eager to memory-hole Bush and the neocon braintrust — the Republicans for obvious reasons, the Dems because they wanted to move on and couldn’t imagine how Republicans might, in their fuzzy, media-manipulating way, put that stink on them

Kenosha Kid, Antifa Supersoldier, 101st Wine Dads Division @matthewmarnold.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

But she and the rest of the cowardly/neocon-curious Dems that voted for it were not the ones that took us to war, and it’s very difficult for me to imagine even those assholes using 9/11 as a pretext to go into Iraq (what?) and get us into an open-ended occupation of Afghanistan

Kenosha Kid, Antifa Supersoldier, 101st Wine Dads Division @matthewmarnold.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah, I mean, that vote was, at best, an act of grave and consequential cowardice and cynicism. She probably thought the war was a great idea, too, even if she had to know the rationale was horseshit. She was besties with John McCain and fully bought into the neocon worldview of a quasi-imperial US

It would be awfully interesting if big urban state politicos like AES and AOC were able to make a run at kneecapping Big Ag and the healthcare cartels. They’d have to persuade a lot of their timid colleagues to go along, particularly in the plains, MN, CA, NY/NJ, NC, etc.

A thing the whole center-left-to-left coalition has never really reckoned with is how the right, with not-insubstantial mainstream media assistance, managed to pin the blame for the Iraq War humiliation on the Democrats, and in particular Hillary Clinton.

Right but that’s GenX journalists and politicos. GenZ is TikTok, maybe Instagram. The morning after the 2016 election my boss at a very minor data analytics company went “Ah, Cambridge Analytica.” That wasn’t algorithmic manipulation, just next-generation targeting information. But yeah, I wonder.
