"I grew up in Wisconsin, in a town so small we had no stoplights," writes @charlesjensen.bsky.social. "It was isolated intellectually and culturally. The nearest bookstore and movie theater were almost 20 miles away... What my hometown did have was a library" pen.org/no-small-tow... #BannedBooksWeek

I wonder if they have internalized MAGA so far into their psyche that they are literally incapable of *not* believing him...because to do so would mean that their entire sense of self is a fraud and our brains won't admit that willingly? Or maybe they've just made peace that he's their ride or die?

MN's Democratic Party says they knocked on 63,000 doors this past weekend and that thus far they've knocked on 1.7 million this year. The DFL Party Chair is Richard Carlbom who led the Minnesotans United For All Families campaign that was the largest grassroots campaign in MN history.

The Trump administration wanted NYC to explicitly turn away trans veterans from a shelter so NYC was forced to turn down funding for it because it would violate city and state law. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

This is an eye-opening new report, including which states have the highest rates of violence (NOT what you'd expect). This was also a special conversation for me because I've been using/citing Dr. Meyer's work for years. To get to talk with him for the first time really meant a lot.

He doesn't support a blanket ban, but wants a case by case ban. In turn, that will empower Moms for Liberty to run candidates for school boards who do the very thing he purports to hate: bully trans kids. It's a nonsensical position masquerading as logic.
