Honestly this is the whole thing. While there are some professional bigots who will never change, I truly think a ton of everyday people who have been brainwashed by the hate campaign against trans folks would stop after meeting and learning from real trans folks. That's why they wanna silence us.

Trump is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. We don’t need to dress it up, we don’t need to link it to big explainers why that’s bad. Everyone knows that breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution is bad.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

It’s extremely alarming that Trump openly defying a court order is being covered as “Trump decides to not follow it” and not “Trump illegally defies court.” Or in the Washington Post’s case, not even mentioned at all

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about the value in these events, is that they are connecting moments for people. And…they’re free. There’s very few free things to do in America. We should do more.

Inequality breeds contempt from the wealthy for the poor. Because they aren’t connected to the struggle. There’s no knowledge of the adage, “there but for the grace of God go I.”

We cannot preemptively and "pragmatically" kick our more vulnerable allies off of the plane. The end result will be having to face the fascists later on anyway but with a significantly diminished coalition. www.welcometohellworld.com/dumping-weig...

Disastrous, entirely predictable result of zero Dems in my lifetime saying clearly and consistently that the right is lying to you so they can keep taking all the money for themselves.

If Democrats don’t protect norms and intuitions, no one else will. You can’t count on Senator Ted Cruz to defend free and fair elections, or Speaker Mike Johnson to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights. And it’s unlikely Senator Susan Collins, despite her… www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

It's funny how the Harris campaign really did try to do Popularism and Abundance Liberalism, and it worked! Just not enough to defy the environment so she still lost. So everyone has instead invented a Harris Campaign that only exists in their head (from left and right)

Chomsky/Herman’s Manufacturing Consent. If I were a r-wing op I’d be laughing my head off at the way r-wing created and set off a loop btwn polls and major media: R-wing releases talking point, media adopts it, polls show majority favor talking point, major media reports on the poll, rinse/repeat.
