and this is just the people who will actually admit they feel this way

also, yet another admission that β€œidentity politics” definitely doesn’t include my identity and probably not yours. just theirs.

Hearing Trump speak is often like hearing the voices of enslavers echoing down the centuries.

Prominent national Democrats ask Josh Kraft to stop using names, likenesses in unauthorized fund-raising push - The Boston Globe Political and campaign finance experts called the Kraft campaign’s recent fundraising blitz unorthodox, or even potentially misleading for donors.

this is now the 2nd time Kraft’s team has gaffed and pointed the blame elsewhere - first a fundraiser invite that had the NYC skyline, not Boston & now emails purporting to be from Adam Schiff and other dems who haven’t endorsed him. he wants to lead this city?

as @jamieriley.bsky.social or @joeygulino.bsky.social can tell you, I love an em dash and can sometimes write longer sentences but not only is this insanely long, it’s a hot ass mess of pablum.

Texas governor threatens Democrats who left state to prevent congressional map vote – US politics live Greg Abbott says he will try to remove Democrats unless they return to allow vote to take place on redrawing the US House map to favour Republicans

Do you know which state has the largest number of Black residents?

TEXAS (nearly 4 million)

Trump’s demand that TX redistrict & the Republican legislature’s acquiescence is an attack on Black representation. Stand with Texas Dems.

the pearl-clutching because Noah stared him down is foolish - track, esp short sprints, are the ultimate 1v1. don’t want a stare down, don’t get walked down like Kenny did. simple.

in HS I wore a shirt to every meet that said β€œyou can’t beat what you can’t catch” *on the back* (rip eastbay).

Loving would be fun…would mean my parents’ marriage is negated, at least federally such as that matters

even more scary, that’s basically how women’s health care is right now - varies from state to state. you’re right…nothing says β€˜small government’ like being in couples’ beds and people’s uteruses

we all knew this was coming because Clarence Thomas basically sent an engraved invitation for it in his Dobbs concurrence but still, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this and everyone that’s ever voted for Mango Mussolini.

a- these people’s obsession with trans women and genitalia is disgusting

b- its a short walk from this and making the same threat about federal funds and Black people in bathrooms within
