I may be invisible, but you're transparent.

It's why it was and is important to pump the brakes on the Lgb without T push that was being made recently. Sacrificing the most vulnerable isn't just cowardice it's a failure of leadership.

This 100 percent. It's why it's so hard to place trans stories in many outlets that never took the NYT/Atlantic hard right turn. They don't want to actively contribute to sacrificing us, but they quietly want to see us sacrificed bc they think it will keep them safe.

Apathetic or fickle allies are almost as bad as enemies when it relates to social justice issues IMHO. It bares out a lot in this

I do think that a lot of demure white voters weren't turned off by (at worse) or were appealed to by the extreme racism and antisemitism of his campaign. So much so that they didn't factor for what happens when you torch society for to accomplish it.

there are a lot of reasons this late in the day, 5 billion dollars short realization that the insane racist tyrant might actually not be playing "5d chess" or waiting until the right moment to "become presidential"...but so many people chose to humor this over years while pretending it was new.

the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”

It'd be an improvement actually. Instead America voted for racism and magical strongman fixes that aren't ever going happen while he strips the country for parts.

Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.

Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

Anyone else have the feeling that Trump has already floated the idea of the Navy escorting tankers through Hormuz (to the Navy) and they told him no, but he can’t admit that the threat is not eliminated?

What happens when a mad king discovers that the war he launched is not going to go the way he envisioned it? Asking for a friend.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

I've been getting talked at about "EARNING MY VOTE" for months now. I guess turnabout is fair play.

how is this level of illiteracy possible? surely senior officers in the US military either know from self-education or learn from on-the-job training that ethnic identity, religious affiliation, and language fluency are different?

who thinks every Christian speaks Aramaic like Jesus did?

This is why the odds of the [Make a Desert and Call It] Peace Candidate loosing a nuclear weapon against Iran are higher than anyone is currently comfortable admitting

And he only won by 33 votes.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Good grief.

tl;dr version: A guy filed to run for TX HD-19 (a deep red district). The party backed another Dem in the primary. The first guy dropped out to run for Mayor instead...but apparently missed the deadline to withdraw.

Then he won the primary by a landslide anyway.

Watch this shit y'all:

Hey y'al. We need to help in this endeavor. Please repost at least

My daughter’s SNAP is a whopping $24 MONTH despite making less than 25k a year. She has a disability & doesn’t understand math at a grocery store because… she’s disabled. He can f all the way off. Why is the forward facing assumption always one based on demeaning & demoralizing & never on dignity?

Them lecturing us on harm reduction has been just-

Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism

Vote!!

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Get ready to learn to install solar panels, buddy

Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a ‘no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error

mike called it

And the people willing to shrug and try to get us to move on aren't making themselves look trustworthy either. People nonchalant about nazis and their tattoos are going to the same Nazi bar.
