Rather than embracing candidates that spark grassroots enthusiasm and tap into the populist ferment of the American public, establishment Democrats are working to favor exactly the kind of uninspiring corporatists that dug the party’s current hole. trib.al/PzEickb

Work-shopping my eventual imaginary campaign message for running for something; "More than progressive: just a decent human being"
Joni Ernst ran for Senate vowing to combat sexual assault in the military. She won, and proceeded to do some work towards that goal. Then she supported a rapist for president and voted to confirm a rapist as Secretary of Defense, and with that legacy, retired.
ANYWAY this is what they deserve by valuing the DeBaTe and needing to include someone to be anti-trans in a Democratic party direction discussion over being informative.
I'm still wondering, did they agree to pay Matty money for his appearance and now eating that cost?
A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge. This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest. After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
Chatting with my closeted trans-man friend and I tell him an anecdote about me and my work bestie talking about cute boys and I show her his picture and she goes, "That's NOT a man!?" He is honestly VERY handsome.
Mine is Buizel and idk what to say about that XD
You had me a bit until "Have you ever thanked them?"
Well that was an speed run to detrans grifter/terf

I'm never going to get used to the name Jorge here in NW Minnesota apparently is pronounced "George"
Mack Yggdrasil??!!! (btw, great indie wrestler name to be taken)
FWIW, I feel the same way. I worry if I am not worried enough or too worried and I try and balance my fear with remembering I have resources to, hopefully, escape if things get worse, but also wanna live as if I'm not anxious it is absolutely going to get worse
Prayer cant stop the shooting after it's already happened, KKKaroline.
Sharing this (new-to-me) info as an important update. Of course, if the shooter had detransitioned, that will not make any dent in the wave of transphobia that has already been sparked, but it's important context: bsky.app/profile/cele...
I'd just like an election where Democrats aren't dangling the rights of one of their constituencies to try and convince bigots that aren't part of their coalition to vote for them.

I got too many family and friends that'd honestly ask if I could just DIY, or maybe give up being trans. If I have to face leaving without my family versus staying with them, I don't know what I'd do.
Being open about personal situation; I honestly don't know because it involves my family as well. Like, I'd say "When unable to get HRT", and I live about an hour from the Canadian line. But also, if I leave, does my family come with? What if my partner is unwilling to leave?
Pic from @karlbode.com BEHOLD @podsaveamerica.crooked.com your anti-trans poster boy now suggesting we give up vote by mail to "appease" Trump.
Partly because, and this is as much a problem with me being introverted as other things, community requires bonds of care and mutual respect, and feeling welcomed and valued. 5/5
And dont get me wrong: I've done mutual aid for another girl who needed her estradiol, I've been there to congratulate and give support to the couple trans people who decided I was safe enough to come out to. Community, though, and this is entirely a personal anecdote, was always elusive 4/
NGL, it was cis women I feel I got the most support from for being who I am. It was my wife, my therapist, and my coworkers. One I had a network of supportive cis women I could call friends did I have the space for my personal transness to flourish. 3/
Partly it was because we weren't friends for various reasons, another pat was because I didn't realize my transness "the right way" I grew up in places where, by my perception, trans community is really just you and 1-3 people within 50 miles of each other you maybe find out about online 2/
So, I have a more personal feeling about trans community, and an evolving one. My coming out was honestly WITHOUT support or acceptance from the very few trans people I knew of. 1/
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
NGL, sad thing is they either decided to go with using Lovett to defend trans people, or just use someone worse. I'd wonder if they were so inflexible because Matty is costing them to do this. I know he has high speaking engagement costs so maybe they're paying for him?
Damn, they really are going to force Trump learn who his nominees are
Well, last time they waded into the trans "debate" it was Bill Maher vs Lovett...

FR, the telling of that whole process was honestly illuminating for how PSA and such so their bookings and how this business works in general. It sucks they mangled it from what you originally wanted.
Polling shows Zohran Mamdani leading with Jewish voters in NYC’s mayoral race. But the New York Times keeps framing him as “alienating” the community—while ignoring polls that say otherwise. 📊 Read @ahjohnson.bsky.social’s breakdown.

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.
"at least Trump filled the concentration camps" says the GOP as they fill the concentration camps.
Republicans, meanwhile, pushed by the party, begin to make up more and more of jury pools as they actively TRY to be part of jury pools and avoid getting out of jury duty 4/4
Democrats see jury nullification as a way to escape having to take action to protect the rights of citizens but continue to stress they don't want partisanship in this part of the legal process. 3/
Meanwhile Republicans seize in promoting jury nullification for escaping accountability for criminal malfeasance and push their base to get into juries to deliver verdicts in support of republican defendants. 2/
The arc of US politics as through a supposed politicization of jury nullification; Seeing what jury nullification does, Democratic politicians huddle to say they support good use of jury nullification but ultimately also do support LEOs and Prosecutors and hope nullification is kept rare 1/

14 year olds: They can't possibly understand the consequences of transitioning but they should also be tried as adults for being evil.
JFC "leftists" shouldn't be messing with Ben Ryan or Singal let alone taking anything they write with any credulity.
Yes. You know, it’s possible to enjoy and appreciate Newsom going after Trump while also recognizing that he’s full of shit and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the ‘28 election.
Armed troops in the streets is not a distraction and Democratic leaders should say so open.substack.com/pub/amyfried...
NGL, I wonder how many Dem Congresscritters and staffers also believe DC is "overrun" by "crime"

Ok, posting through dysphoria. So, like, i wish there was just, like, a forced-fem ray that could just hit me and idk, like, suffuse me in gender euphoria. Or just someone tell me, "Nikki, Shut up and feel pretty 😘"

Space republic!? That just started wars before the empire! Lol Although, NGL, what is the record/trajectory for republics devolving into autocracy? Rome, France...
See I look at it as: Fuck is a one night stand. It's a taste of something. Marry, though, that's multiple fucks. And I'd rather be in a life long relationship with whatever flavor of space communism we each believe in (mine is wonderful!) than republican (the system) government.
Fuck - Republic Marry - Space Communism Kill - Autocracy

Unsurprising, there are conservative black people. Sure, I'll be sad he's homophobic but, yeah, not that surprising and for the reasons you stated.
This makes me want to purchase and then burn an American flag.
