Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

There's just something gut wrenching about a man who comes from the first Republic founded by ex-enslaved people to end up fucking shackled in 2026.

every conservative politician is the worst person alive and every liberal politician is the worst non-conservative person alive we have to crawl through broken glass to elect someone who has the same basic pro-social mindset as an average food bank volunteer

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

one thing that's making me feel particularly insane lately is how there is no longer any limit to the amount of wrong you can be

international students are a lynchpin of the finances of many universities - they pay full-freight tuition and are not eligible for most types of financial aid - its hard not to read this as a particularly cruel and callous part of the right's attempt to defund and destroy America's universities.
