Boiling milk before use was just what you did. They had dedicated cookware for it. (Specially shaped to contain boil-overs, which milk is really prone to.) Household hygiene had SERIOUSLY high stakes back before hot running water & pasteurization. That's… like… why they taught home economics.

Desperately longing for the day when I can stop being a single issue voter. The single issue is human rights. How are we not past this shit yet.

If you can’t agree that other people have the right to exist, then yeah, I’m gonna say fuck you and boot your ass out the door. I have a very clear line in the sand, and it’s that we treat people as human beings, not as objects.

Was raised in Texas, fled to still hostile but blue pastures, I worked on campaigns, and I do climate I know what the alternative is and what feels like fighting entropy.

The ...plus? not sure what the right term is, but I've never seen a candidate who wasn't an incumbent (or the current pres) who everyone was sure about 3 years before and remained so. Like Chris Christie and Rick Santorum were at one point considered serious contenders.

i do appreciate though that in all the little threads here once you get people's opinions untangled it always comes down to that they like Gavin Newsom BECAUSE they are transphobic.

i truly want to know why people think that because a state governor's social media staff post a lot online that he's "the only one we got right now"

when those differing points of view regard whether trans people and homeless people deserve to be treated with humanity, yes. it does in fact make them a genuinely bad person.

"trans people are human beings" is not a "super crazy communist idea." "human beings should not go to prison because they can't afford their rent" is not a "super crazy communist idea."

and unlike Gavin Newsom I don't hate trans or homeless people, which is a hell of a lot more important than the difference between 39 million and 18,000.

The nyt witnessed bribery but chose to ignore it bc it didn’t fit its leaders’ anti-Mamdani vendetta. That’s not a one-off. Sulzberger, Kahn and Ryan have worked hand in glove w this administration and the radical right for years. The roots were evident in the disgraceful coverage of the ‘16 elex

As long as Sulzberger owns the New York Times, it will continue to peddle anti-trans hatred, mainstream bigotry, and frame coverage of Donald Trump to normalize and assist him. They made a choice. Now it's time for the rest of us to make one.

Same. I will actively campaign against Newsom from now until hell comes (meaning, heavens' forbid, he gets the nomination). Then, I will sit down, close my wallet, open my ballot, do what's absolutely necessary, and throw up as I vote for him in the general. I fucking HATE him and this timeline.

You can't put the cat back in the bag. Can you really imagine a large enough constituency that will only change their mind on voting for newsom because he backpedaled on civil rights? I can't. Certainly not enough to be worth trading the votes/enthusiasm of trans people and their allies.

I don't understand how they even think this pivot is a winning strategy lol. A pretty large chunk of politically active people (volunteers, staffers) are disgusted by shit like this and won't bend over backwards to help with a campaign for a guy like this.

If you're a cisgender american who agrees with Newsom and believes that trans people deserve respect then you won't have a problem with ending your own life at the age of 54. Cutting 25 years out of your life isn't a big deal, right? Life expectancy is 79. Shouldn't be a big ask of y'all.
