People born during WWII should not be legislators during WWIII.

I imagine major temperature fluctuations wreak havoc on the hvac.

Anti-terror spending ends up being used against Americans. That’s how police departments have so many armored vehicles and other resources that are designed for war.

Take control of the house, senate, and presidency. Admit Puerto Rico, DC, and other territories statehood (if those citizens want to become a state), expand the Supreme Court, get rid of Citizens United, legalize abortion w/o restrictions nationwide, then maybe.

If the only criticism Dems hear is from the Carville type, then they will move further and further to the right.

Opinion | North Carolina's elections offer more hope that 2026 is the year of the progressive Katelyn Burns: Progressive candidates in the pivotal swing state walloped several centrist incumbents who collaborated with Republicans on culture war issues.

For @ms.now I wrote about how progressive in the NC statehouse primary sent a warning to centrist Dems with a penchant for collaborating with Republicans on culture war issues like ICE and trans issues. www.ms.now/opinion/nort...

They killed schoolchildren, Chuck. Your “imploring” isn’t going to solve shit. Resign and let someone willing to fight against fascism take over.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

I’ve thought about using a unique email for every site I signup for so I know who sold my info to other sites. Minimal config with owning a domain.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.
