My 80 year old dad is so upset about the way protestors are being attacked so we got into a conversation about defunding the police & I sent him this piece by @prisonculture.bsky.social. Realized others might want to revisit it too. www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/o...

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

Apparently I have runners knee, obviously the week it finally snows enough to get the xc skis out
