Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It's a pretty weak "establishment", if those three are it. Newsom is term-limited out, Bass is a likely loser in November, and Becerra is an empty suit. The assumption within the legal profession has always been that this was a nuisance suit, so the settlement was inevitable. 000

Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Yes. Just because you compete doesn’t mean everyone has to cheer you on. 200

Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Opportunities? No one is preventing trans boys or girls from playing sports, Ms. Tigerbunny. The opportunities are still there. 100
Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Pretty, pretty, pretty weak scaffolding for more substantive rights, like job discrimination. Since Talarico only opposes trans women involvement in women's sports if it endangers safety or creates unfairness, the overwhelming majority of trans children wouldn't even be effected. 220
Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026If it's a non-issue, or only an issue that pertains to a symbolic "right", then who cares what our stand is? Let's focus on something important, like immigrant children being kidnapped from their schools by masked agents, and not on trivialities that 90% of the public disagrees with us. 500
Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026How is that less of a "shared bond"? Fort Sumter and Pearl Harbor created no less of a shared bond among Americans, and part of that was based on the notion that a horrible group of people had attacked us. 000

Steve Smith @stheman.bsky.social · 18/08/2026The key is to get to 51 votes. If Michigan is needed, than we go all in for AES. If the Dems can do it without winning Michigan, then that's more money to spend on a marginal House race or a governor's mansion. 000
