Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

Yes. And these people won't acknowledge that they helped prop him up to fail even if he is elected because he believes in nothing.

I think one of the best arguments we can make publicly against Newsom to his fans is that he is the least likely candidate to actually prosecute anyone in the Trump admin. The most likely to pull a Biden and lets all move forward.

According to the last poll i saw, Stratton was the only one who stood a chance against Krishnamoorthi. RK has been running ads for months during the news hour so I'm not surprised he is ahead. My parents hadn't even heard of anyone else until I told them.

In our modern information environment it's often hard to know what's true but a shortcut that will never fail you is: this government is lying until proven otherwise. An accusation against them of corruption, sadism, criminality, is probably true

He really is the weakest senator there is. Two people have been murdered, there’s been no accountability, and he believes the Senate is powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: β€œWe will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Minneapolis activists press local leaders to respond to federal surge Minneapolis activists say state leaders have failed to act as federal agents arrest protesters and residents during an ongoing federal surge.

β€œAll along the way, the community has stepped up with our whistles, with our cell phones and with our bodies to defend our neighbors,” Communities United Against Police Brutality president Michelle Gross said.

β€œBut what do we see from our public officials? They have utterly failed us.”

Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees? Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.

I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Maybe the rebut to Newsom fans is that he is the least likely to prosecute Trump after being sworn in. It will be Biden all over again.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.

This is a huge deal. After years of leading in fundraising, Dem small donors are (rightly) pissed off at the spam texts and emails, as well as at congressional leadership. Meanwhile, GOP billionaire money is hitting record levels. Perfect storm.
