It is always interesting to me how people never seem to demand evidence that cruelty will be good for "the economy" but no matter how.many studies of kinder things like UBI or housing first we do those who talk about "the economy" refuse to believe they are beneficial.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

The only way out for liberals, columnists, and the like is honesty and accountability, actually looking at the world around them and admitting what they've done, or embracing the fascism they've spent the last decade stoking. But honesty and accountability is a practice, not a death bed conversion

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

If Tanya Woo has friends, they should probably stage an intervention at this point.

Genuinely asking: is there an argument in favor of MGP beyond “she wins in a red district”? Like is there something folks like about her/her policy positions that I’m just missing?

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is. Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

"Call me crazy, but I think focusing on policies that actually work and help people, instead of those that don’t, makes for a pretty compelling pitch, 'leftist' or otherwise." Read @davidstoesz.bsky.social's op-ed for the latest Real Change online. www.realchangenews.org/news/2025/02...

Maybe a bit of a late bloomer butI think 32 is just about the right age to stop making bad decisions and get your life together. There’s hope for you Burien!
