We supported Harris and she barely mentioned us. Gavin offers no safety. And i for one am fine with burning along with the centrists this time. They should have codified shit. I have HAD nothing to lose. I wonder if those who want me to be quiet can say the same? 😂😂😂

What's going to happen when iCE kidnaps soccer players from African and South American nations competing at the World Cup simply because ICE has a habit of profiling. Simply put, if the teams decide to go for a walk in between games, will they be picked up? Mark my words, this will be a reality.

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

This is precisely the sickness right here: "The Democratic Party should make fan fiction podcasts say 'woman' again." How? Why? Do right-wing podcasts ever say anything untoward that Republicans should address? Everything goes back to the myth that Dems are responsible for petty aesthetic gripes

It's clear from the full memo that Third Way has completely bought in to far-right myth that Democratic overreach is what's causing Republican radicalization. I agree that Dems shouldn't say "inseminated person" but that because it's a fringe made-up term! www.thirdway.org/memo/was-it-...

Can we reflect on how elected Democrats haven't said "latinx" since 2021 and yet I still see two articles a week telling them to stop? The evidence doesn't indicate that Dems using SJW jargon is a real problem — it's something the far right says to justify their actions.
Michael Hobbes (@michaelhobbes.bsky.social) reposted
I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'? The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!

If you actually watch Gavin Newsom's podcast I think you will lose any faith you have misplaced in him. I'm sorry! He capitulates repeatedly to the conservative provocateur B-team. I don't think he can do combative discourse well enough in person and I suspect he does not write his own tweets
