At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Good words here. When Rs break with Trump on an issue like this let’s encourage it.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

Getting cited by a judge for the proposition that SCOTUS is just chaotically throwing around unhinged ideas is definitely a major “achievement unlocked” moment. My envy is so green you’d think I was a leprechaun.

this is the most accurate and succinct way I have ever read someone sum up the Myth of White Upward Mobility that many people our age (older millennials) grew up with. our grandparents lived through the depression, yes, but they were not "self-made".

Something we all should remember, as we talk about worst case scenarios and ways to plan for and survive them: It's very much worth remembering that we collectively can and will survive them. And, we will build something beautiful on the ashes of their corrupt and childish violence.

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

I missed this earlier today: one of Michigan’s two Republican justices announced her retirement today. Gretchen Whitmer will appoint her replacement. That will likely bring Democrats’ majority on this key court to 6-1.

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net
