I'm listening to the audio of this w/goal of finishing it tomorrow. I highly recommend it. What we, together, pulled off is astonishing on many levels. What these boys went through, in service not to themselves but to freedom & humanity - words fail. www.simonandschuster.com/books/When-t...

Mark my words: today will be revealed as a pivot point in the relationship between Trump and Vance. It’ll be recognized as the first moment when Vance did significant bet hedging with his silence and Trump noticed and it became A Thing between them over time.

I have no idea what this is specifically about but I feel compelled to register my agreement.

My unpopular opinion is that I think most folks are vastly overestimating the competence of Vance because he doesn’t constantly present to the world as a profane cognitive merry-go-round. Take Vance seriously, but stop giving him so much credit. He’s mediocre. He doesn’t deserve that respect.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, did you see this? More evidence of cognitive deterioration. If you know anyone who's done a lot of research on this topic, pass it along.

Your periodic reminder that the Democratic Party assiduously avoided trans issues in 2024. I was there. There was not a two-sided conversation on trans issues. There was the GOP with their bullhorn versus Democrats largely pretending we don’t exist.

Harvey Milk served our nation in the Navy, and removing his name from this ship is another bigoted attack on the LGBTQ+ community, and especially LGBTQ+ service members. It's shameful.

"Trans issues are too complicated to talk about publicly." Lawmakers will drill into details on foreign policy and the economy that make voters' eyes glaze over in boredom, but somehow, trans equality is complicated? No, it's not. The data and science are there. Just admit you're chickenshit.

when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter. either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.

These people are very sorely mistaken if they think I'm gonna be anything other than my authentic self. The shit I had to go through just to get this point makes anything else pale in comparison. The notion that their sabre-rattling should give me pause is laughable.

More polling just dropped -- by a pretty huge margin Americans think that having international students at US universities is good for the country, not bad -- 56% to 14% (+42) and for 18-29 YOs, nearly 1/2 say international students are "very good"

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The literal FEMA Director not knowing there's a hurricane season oddly fits with the whole "queers cause hurricanes" evangelical nonsense. They probably hired him fully expecting to prevent hurricanes by purging LGBTQ folks from the federal government.
