New Jersey Same Devil

tswift fans would find a great deal of peace if they could just accept that Taylor Swift produces art and art, by nature, is subject to criticism and analysis

gavin newsom is a scumbag and a coward and if the Democrats make him their nominee they will deserve every loss they are handed

i do just find it interesting that taylor devoted a song on her new album to beefing with a woman, but not the male misogynists constantly harassing her. it’s just Interesting

it is bad to deadname trans women, even the conservative ones

the correct way would just be to say Caitlyn Marie Jenner

bari weiss is inspiring. you can spend your whole life attacking the values that an industry is built upon and still be made head of one of its larger component companies via your political connections. the american dream!

free puerto rico btw. free puerto rico and pay it colonial reparations

many people, even other trans people, are inexplicably stymied by trans women because they refuse to consider them as women

taylor swift = liz lemon

complaining about being called Barbie is a tough sell

they’re calling it the most pro-pedophile administration in republican history. even worse than when they made a pedophile Speaker

unless we want to believe that the abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, etc. were all universally popular and beloved at their inceptions

if the Democratic Party can’t figure out how to make the objectively correct moral positions (anti-racism, feminism, trans rights, etc) popular, that seems more like a failure of the party than of those positions

oh??? bigoted cishet white male Dem politicians and strategists think the party needs to return its focus to bigoted cishet white males? wow how could they come up with such brilliant policy

even beyond self-interest, democrats running a candidate for president that is “willing to compromise” on trans rights tells me that they will run candidates willing to compromise with the right on anything. why would I vote for that?

i find it really funny when specifically cis liberals talk down to me about politics. i WISH i could be as tuned out as they think I am lmao

Harris promises to go tough on border security The vice president's forceful remarks came at a rally in Arizona.

or even (as Harris did on immigration) campaign on being TOUGHER than the fascists

a cartoon girl in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a bag Alt: a cartoon girl in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a football. from offscreen, a boy in a yellow shirt runs to kick it. At the last second, the girl moves the football, causing the boy to miss and fall on his back.

no, see, THIS time they’ll definitely do progressive, popular things, they promise!

we are currently living in the world where ostensibly progressive movements are decoupled from political theory, and it has produced “progressives” that are as reactionary as the right

im really sorry but you gotta find a way to engage with political theory and history. you owe it to yourself and to the movement. you are not somehow less able to engage with theory than the farmers and laborers who staged revolutions across the globe by reading and disseminating communist texts

centrists really hate it when you remember them saying “fine leftists we can win without appealing to your demands” in the run up to the 2024 election

I remember telling centrists in 2015 that “the imperfect candidate is owed your vote because otherwise we’ll descend into fascism” was a strategy with a very limited shelf life if they didn’t materially push back against said fascism

you don’t really hear about cops being near fentanyl and having panic attacks anymore

“progressive issues perform poorly in rural areas” is a lie btw, centrist Dems just don’t want to pass progressive policies

fascinated by trans men and trans mascs who say that they can use transmisogyny because they get mistaken for trans women and face oppression while also believing that trans women have it easier overall

there’s a nascent queer/trans MRA movement forming btw

I think that if the anti-sex scene folks don’t want to be lumped in with cultural conservatives, they need different rhetoric than the homeschooling families I grew up around

the biggest failure of the phrase “male socialization” is that most of its most ardent defenders would not say that this tiktok (where a trans man excitedly uses a gendered slur to insult someone) qualifies as an example of it

I do find the specific liberal insistence that ICE raids wouldn’t be a thing if Harris had won, given that she literally campaigned on having tougher border and immigration policies than Trump

I think a republican could convince Ezra Klein of just about anything. Just a complete and utter mark. Half of the NYT budget is wasted by him on Find The Ball Under The Cup games he gets lured into on the street
