Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

What do you think her job was

Every ICE officer ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶w̶ should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶c̶r̶i̶m̶e̶s̶

Every day I wish she had run a better campaign

Honest question, when people say “Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were right about everything,” what are they referring to that isn’t the most obvious “bad stuff is gonna happen” stuff

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I refer you back to the question "can he convince me he's a man of the people"

Sounds like stuff that would be hard to navigate for an avowed capitalist.

What's an example of an unintended negative effect?

What do you mean "that works"? What wouldn't work about it.

Will he tax billionaires? Then no

Israel would never attack Iran without guarantee of US backing. They did lie by making it seem like they had no choice, but it was a shocking admission for them to say Israel was the actual threat to US bases.

Yes, but I do think it's a little more complicated than that. I find it interesting that 40 years worth of Presidents have tempered Israel's bloodlust for Iran, and for some reason Trump's *second* term is the admin that failed/capitulated. There's interesting implications to the timing, too.

Yeah, they said it. Rubio and Johnson. They forgot to lie.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

I think you need to understand why we are doing a war with Iran before this question can be answered correctly.

Who could have foreseen this

Sure.

The U.S. has been using and betraying the Kurds for decades, so I guess in this case he's accidentally going back to one of the most reliable playbooks. this might be too soon though lol

US: I'm attacking Iran because they have nuclear weapons World:Why don't you attack Russia? US: Are you crazy? They have nuclear weapons

This is what passes for journalism in the US now.

NBC: Why is attacking US military bases abroad justified?

Iran FM: Because they are attacking us. We are under attack.

it's like that whole "the democrats can't do anything, their hands are tied by the polls" schtick was always political malpractice or something

leaders need to LEAD people to SOMETHING

set some bold ass policy, as demoralized as voters are, as long as you actually try they ain't gonna hate you

i always forget that everyone with power is completely insane and steeped in delusion

I was in elementary school in 2003 and I didn’t buy the rhetoric then either

If he runs, should I vote for Newsom if I care about trans people
