Feels like the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix to me. All that's needed now is NASCAR finding a BS way to give a Penske or Hendrick car the win.

If there’s a next time, I hope people back the person & the party actually fighting for them instead of crying that it wasn’t enough or fast enough. Progressive means making progress. Getting it done, but it takes time.
Hold folk’s feet to the fire, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

He listened. He delivered. And the support wasn’t there. Meanwhile, Trump—who won’t lift a damn finger for student debt—gets a free pass.

Biden built a forgiveness program—Republicans sued to kill it. Where was the “feet to the fire” crowd? No pushback on Republicans. No credit for Biden. Even when he forgave millions while being sued, the same people who swore they wouldn’t vote for him unless he acted? Silent.

Yet, we never hear Bernie or Warren take responsibility for not solving the student loan crisis—but they sure as hell campaign on it. Funny how no one threatens them if they don’t get it done.

Even some Dem politicians jumped on the bandwagon, tweeting, “Today would be a great day to forgive student loans,” just to score points. But real progress means structural reform, not one-time forgiveness for a single group. That takes legislation, not an executive order.

Sex, and sex work in particular, is the stone they sharpen their legal knives on.
Legislators know that few people will stand up and defend porn or sex work more broadly, and it allows them to pass bills that they can then use to harass, intimidate and jail other forms of expression.

Sexual rights are human rights, and if you won't defend the right to consensual sexual expression, you can't adequately defend consent, gender expression, sexuality, reproductive care, and a whole lotta speech.
Throwing "sex" under the bus is complying in advance with Christian Nationalism.

"Pornography" is a dog-whistle, same as "DEI" and "woke" — a pretext for broad censorship and repression of issues related sex and gender.
Unfortunately, too many on the left take it at face value ... and distance themselves from fights. We need much broader awareness and our allies to fight back.
