I'm sorry the Secret Service screwed up and that we have such shitty gun laws in America thanks to Republicans but none of this makes a lie of the objective fact that Donald Trump is a threat to whatever remains of democracy in America.

Project 2025 is a nearly 1000-page step-by-step playbook that would turn America into an authoritarian nightmare and shred our freedoms. Trump can try to distance himself from it but it was put together by more than 20 officials he appointed in his first term. Don't be fooled.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The nominees are set, and everyone needs to grow up and realize what the President does: set policy, hire people to implement that policy, and nominate judges. That's what I'm voting for: more Mayor Petes and no Alitos.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Criminalizing a simple, easy, personal tool for public health is absurd and incredibly harmful. Masking whenever, wherever, for whatever reason, should be a completely normal and accepted part of life in a society.
