You’re probably cool, but I’m always a little pissed off. Surprisingly uncynical about voting blue.

A theory — the unelected clerics on the court aren’t necessarily destroying the constitution for a Trump presidency, but rather to act as a preemptive hedge for things we’ve yet to find out about his previous administration and they want to pre-exonerate him for doing them.

This is true. It’s also because the GOP are sociopaths and Dems aren’t unified about the real threat.

I’d be a lot more concerned that Biden should step down if Access Hollywood did any lasting damage to Trump, who got a pretty similar response from his party.

They want us dead

It’s not just that 70 percent think this is an incomprehensibly bad ruling — it’s the 30 percent who like it. They can never, ever, ever get close to power again.

let the cry become a roar, man

This is the only way forward

anyway, is everyone good and mad now? fucking stay that way for the next five months, there will be more aggressions and indignities and insults to come. staying mad as hell about it is how we won in 2020 and it's how we'll win in 2024.

I’m told by very knowledgeable lefties Biden didn’t even try on student debt relief. They are just as ignorant as any MAGA idiot.

Breaking: Two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri have sided with several Republican-led states and partially blocked the Biden administration from moving forward with a key student debt relief initiative that would cost billions of dollars.

The Biden-Harris administration continues to be excellent on climate and the environment, and I would excitedly vote for them even if the alternative wasn't Trump. Several of my former environmental science students got jobs in this program and they're really excited 🧪🌎

Friends, the “People’s CDC” is not a reliable source of information, nor are they a good faith actor. Neither FDA nor CDC want to restrict access to the fall booster for the 2024-2025 Covid season. Their claim otherwise is fear-mongering bullshit.

Without IVF, I would not be a father. When the Southern Baptists condemn IVF, they are saying that the wish my child did not exist. The Southern Baptist church has been on the wrong side of history since its inception.

For various reasons, I follow UK politics a very little bit, more than any other country’s other than this one, but not deeply— and while I remain grimly bemused at the country’s tri-partisan, headlong dive into nothingness, the Tories seem like the stereotype of every twit from every British show.

Once again, I beg people to know what is happening so when they say “well, what has Biden done for healthcare or the rights of marginalized Americans” they might actually not need to say it. Biden is our most progressive President on LGBTQ+ issues ever, and it’s not close.

"The current antipathy for Joe Biden is getting in the way of smart media strategy and smart organizing. When the President of the United States says that healthcare bans targeting trans youth are against the morals and values of our country, we need to give him full credit."

Right wing elites conspired to delay the chances of Trump being tied on federal charges so he could dismiss them if he wins. Insanely corrupt. This trial went forward because it was not subject to the whims of a Trumpist attack on the rule of law led by “respectable” conservatives.

This is an excellent perspective

there is something so profoundly radicalizing about the AI bullshit--not that it's a scam (that seems standard for new tech these days), but that the push has been towards the kind of work that people _want_ to do, solely because it represents the kind of talent and humanity tech bros can't control.

In checking for news about this policy, I came across this summary of the ways Trump in his second term is openly planning to roll back LGBTQ+ rights in every area. Please help us stop this.

WEEK 93 of Trump: Oct 22-28, 2018. Trump announces he plans to direct the federal government to define gender as immutable and fixed at birth, causing alarm among the transgender community and condemnation from scientists worldwide. Trump’s Project 2025 reprises this promise for his second term.

Transgender advocates decry Trump administration proposal to define gender as fixed at birthwww.latimes.com L.A.'s LGBTQ community reacts to word that the federal government may soon define gender as a fixed biological condition determined by a person's sex organs at birth.

Hahahah. This is one of those “conservatism is laws that protect the in-group and bind the out group kind of things.” The arrest or even the murder of a black man by a cop doesn’t usually get into body camera policy. Especially if the black guy ran over the cop and dragged his ass.
