In the linked essay, I mention Nancy Mace's standard TERF question, asked most recently to Tim Walz: "What is a woman?" My answer is simple. A woman is not a what. A woman is a who. I want to expand a bit from the essay on what I think this matters. www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...

On the left, Jesse Watters denouncing Comey for saying Trump should be 86’d and claiming it was a death threat. On the right, Jesse Watters describing Terry Moran’s firing from ABC as him being… 86’d. To misquote a line from the right, you don’t hate [Fox] enough.

No sleep for ICE tonight as activists found their hotel again. Hotel managers have to decide whether that GSA per diem money is worth having their hotel completely surrounded 24/7 by protesters.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

Many years ago someone from NYC on Twitter explained Trump as the uniquely New York Society phenomenon of the "straight queen" and I didn't fully absorb what that meant until I saw this.

Tech billionaires capitulated to Donald Trump when he was elected. 100 days later, it’s blown up in their faces. From Zuckerberg to Musk to Bezos, each CEO has been left reeling as Trump’s policies wreak havoc on their businesses. Read @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s latest: zeteo.com/p/tech-billi...

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

This picture of Whitmer is a legitimately stunningly perfect depiction of the Democratic Party right now. A bunch of fucking cowards capitulating and complying. Secretly totally on board with fascism while hiding behind their labels and “lesser of two evils you have no choice but to vote for me”.

I mean, this is where you can really see the horror. Forget the legal question of what a judge can order. Sane, reasonable people who admit they've made a mistake work to fix it, all on their own, no judicial intervention necessary.

I had low expectations for this speech but something that it has actually done is to grab attention in a way that Democrats have really struggled to do in this environment put every Dem senator who is physically capable of this in rotation, maybe we can get Ossoff up next lots to talk about
