Transphobia is designed by the right to drive a wedge bw Democratic constituencies to undermine women’s health care rights, racial equity, voting rights and climate science. It’s “magic” one of the main architects of the strategy brashly says. But if there ever was a spell, it’s wearing off

Also this bright spot in VT: “VT will ask voters to amend its constitution to state explicitly that the state shall not deny equal treatment under the law on account of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or national origin”

Remembering how the main character in The Newsroom called the NEA “a loser.” Aaron Sorkin deliberately made him a “Republican” who hated the Tea Party and spoke “truth” to his liberal audience. Fuck that. Arts funding is an expression of national aspiration. It’s important to fund more than war.

Ironically, Dr. Pierre Kory’s defense rested on a law anti-vaxxers, including CHD, have railed against

So, my wife and I got food from one of our favorite takeout places. When we got home, we found they’d written bible verses written on the containers. I’m a secular (atheist) Jew. My wife is agnostic. I am okay with people of faith wanting to talk to me about it, but this felt like an intrusion.

The conservative movement is a national death cult and it’s time to say so. It has destabilized and weakened America. We have mass shootings, medical bankruptcy, historic wealth inequality, a crumbling democracy, and out of control climate change—and a government unwilling to do anything about it.

If he did this before the election, it might be different. But framing it as a “if we win, we’ll do it” is bullshit and everyone knows it. The GOP controls a trifecta. They could do it now. They won’t because—as I just said—it’s bullshit and everyone knows it.
