as I often say, dems delenda est. I don't know if it's possible for us to TEA Party them at this point especially given my experiences with the AL dems, but damn am I up for it. Throw them all in the trash

i am constantly thinking about @juliagiantrat.bsky.social's "nephew principle" in that it's crucial to have a metaphorical nephew in your life who is fucking up their entire life in unfathomable ways so that no matter what you can always go Wow, At Least I'm Not Doing That. I'm Doing Okay In Life.

"the way I see it? People are thirsty as hell for a Diet version of republicans. With Democrats you get the horrid aftertaste, lessened impact, and you lose parts of yourself by drinking it. But, fewer calories, so who's to say if we're right or wrong"

"Your opponents are Nazis and pedophiles who believe in child abuse and rape as values, they've destroyed the economy, started pointless wars, have a Gestapo killing people, and are doing nearly everything they can to kill the planet" "Let's run on how we hate trans people almost as much as they do"

I think subconsciously people register that this is the move of a juiceless replacement level mook and people saying they won't vote for them touches that raw fear nerve

If it's the sound political strategy you claim to believe it is, what are you worried about, you'll more than make those lost votes up in disgusting centrists, right? Right? But you know deep down it doesn't work like that

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

putting this guy in the economic dirt would be the easiest thing in the world. all his money is based on either regulatory credit arbitrage or straight up government largesse. you could wipe him out with a stroke of a pen. you could also then jail him. and then deport him.

this is literally the first no regret move that would reap INSTANT benefits. low hanging fruit. day one you take this guy out back and put two in the back of his balance sheet and start the deportation proceedings. the rest of them will perk right up. this is easy, easy stuff

recently someone here posted some maps about the rollback of trans rights by state, and there were so many quote posts from bloodless quants going “ermmmm, all the bad states here are republican yet you criticize dems for being ~imperfect~” like god these people are in denial!

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Not probably. They ABSOLUTELY would have (and should have) because getting the word out to a skeptical public is an important part of making change

the fact that an intermediate CA in India that sells only into the Indian market, when compromised, can generate TLS certs for literally any website on the internet, that feels like a major trust boundary problem

After the firefighting is done (and a nap) we'll need to have a long, serious conversation about the state of non-browser non-platform X.509 verifiers. The Linux status quo is "a pile of PEM files behind a dumpster" and that's not an acceptable excuse for a root store in 2026.
