INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

The additional benefits of choosing Team We Do Not Throw People Under Buses is that this is also the side that has fun, creates excellent cultural production, dresses well, and has luminous skin. I have no idea why one would choose the alternative.

this is one of the better descriptions of contemporary dem party politics - and dem voters are extremely propagandized (?) into this thinking.... it's always "not yet" and never "now."

Fun fact: all of the resistance to nationalized healthcare in America is grounded in this kind of sentiment. Additionally, all of the resistance to other public welfare programs is also grounded in this sentiment. If it would provide a measurable benefit to Black people, white people will sink it.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Folks keep saying liberals/progressives must reach out to young men. I hear that, but it's not that simple. Men need to reach out to men, but many men doing that now have problematic views and are doing harm. So, men have to do a lot of work and unlearning before the reaching out even begins. /1

So fun fact - people on the left are working with young men. Like I got a whole ass partner who spends all his time doing that. People just sorta ignore that because it doesn't make for good headlines, and also people like saying we need to bring back the subjugation of women.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

An entire party full of weaponized incompetence and folks are yelling at the people they represent for asking them to fight back. The conditioning we've all experienced from kindergarten through now is what's kicking our asses. Following the rules even after the rule book has been thrown out. Wild.

If there was ever a time to try to create a viable third party, now is it. Cause this iteration of the Democratic Party isn't even a joke anymore. It's just sad. And I'm surprised that anyone vaguely progressive wants to be included in that feckless group.
