@duckworth.senate.gov you're urging Democrats to Not Impeach Anybody If They Win Majority? www.c-span.org/clip/public-... I agree with the 'get back to work' part but disagree with not holding Trump accountable.

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

Question: Anybody out there a lawyer who can review a video draft in the next 3 days to confirm we're clear on libel/defamation? (I've got a guy who normally does it! But his availability vs my production timeline aren't matching up this week.)

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I think the main thing for me about the WHCD is that if you voluntarily attend this particular one, that means you are making a choice to hang out with murderers and pedophiles, and that, quite simply, makes you a bad person.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Because a lot of people might be talking about journalistic ethics this holiday weekend, I want to put out there how my editor at the NYT does anon sourcing for our stories. If something is stated and attributed to an unnamed person, she wants us to have at least three people verify it.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
