They want a person that makes the experiences and realities of disabled people, those who are of the LGBTQIA, etc. and those at the intersections of all that disappear again. Whether it is stated out loud or not, they also want that person to be white as proof that white can be "good."

I'm going to say it this way whether some people want to hear it out or not, it is clear that these people still want a white savior of their whiteness that gets them back to a feeling of normalcy. They want a person that makes the visible racism go away (while not actually stopping the problems).1/

The fact that the response to Hasan saying “I’ll vote third party over Gavin Newsom” is to try to harass/shame him into voting for Gavin (implicitly treating Gavin’s candidacy/views as inevitable) instead of saying “maybe we should change to convince him” is everything wrong with electoral politics.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

I’d much rather everyone dust off their Babylon 5 DVDs and find Delenn:

He was the best part of both the Super Bowl AND Happy Gilmore 2. Now THAT takes talent.

That’s two years in a row that the Super Bowl is a huge disaster for someone named Drake. Is this a new tradition?

Of course MAGA and Kid Rock fans would hate this halftime show. Those asses clearly belonged to grown women, not pre-teen girls.

I like that you take your time! Brevity and conciseness in and of themselves do not make something good.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

SCREENCRAFT WHAT IS "MA"? In an interview with film critic Roger Ebert from 2002, Ebert tells Miyazaki he appreciates what he calls "gratuitous motion" in his films, adding that, "Instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are," said Ebert. Miyazaki answered with, "We have a word for that in Japanese," he said. "It's called Ma. Emptiness. It's there intentionally."

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad.

Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO

YouTube video by Council of Geeks What the Epstein Files say about JK Rowling - and some words on what they don't

Ok, let's talk about what the Epstein files reveal about Rowling, but more importantly what they *don't* but people are saying they do regardless.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:

"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Also Atlantis.

That’s barely scratching the surface of how weird that game gets.

A conservative dark money group got a pro-ICE ballot measure on Colorado’s 2026 ballot yesterday. Hopes of using it to squeeze swing district Dems and juice GOP midterm turnout may backfire, given current events.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

And there’s only a 17% chance that they’re accidentally poisonous!

“We Are Facing a Tsunami of Hate”: Amid ICE Crackdown, Unions and Community Groups Call for Minnesota Shutdown in 10 Days Following the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces, a labor-community coalition is calling for residents to refuse to work, shop or go to school on Januar...

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Yep. They want to create a formal, legal basis for women being inherently biologically inferior.

But how else are they supposed to know if it’s safe to sexually harass you? Have some compassion.

And they did my boy Venusaur dirty too. Not looking great.

Animal Farm 2: The Animalpocalypse?

I was at a baseball game while out of town for work (team building, ugh) and this one odd guy kept bragging about how his can of beer was superior because my draft was more expensive per ounce. I got up and went to the bathroom, and when I came back he was drinking my beer. Same energy.

The best case, most generous reading of this is that you’re still rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic AFTER YOU’RE ALREADY BELOW WATER.
