They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights.

Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

Nope. But that is why I mention trades, swaps and giving across different parts of the entire thread.

Do the best you can. We all have our limitations, and that’s okay.

More suggestions are down thread—please read them all!

Etsy: The issue with Etsy is the platform’s unwillingness to take down merch about “Alligator Alcatraz” that celebrated violence towards anyone imprisoned there, among other issues (the site has a huge problem with overseas companies copying small creators’ creations and selling them on there).

Do what you can. There are more suggestions down thread.

The rest of the thread has more suggestions, too.
