The votes initially haven’t been there for a lot of things (ending slavery, women’s right to vote, interracial marriage, bodily autonomy, same sex marriage, etc.) but we did the fucking thing anyways because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

I hope that she does not run again. Not with that loser energy. You impeach because he did the high crimes and misdemeanors, not because you have removal “in the bag”.

Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

theprint.inWho is Erika Hilton? Black trans politician was one of Lula’s loudest campaignersErika Hilton’s electoral triumph comes amid a hostile environment. Brazil has the highest number of reported murders of transgender people in the world, with 80 recorded in 2025.

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Eric Lipton. below, has led an effort over the past two years to document the destruction of environmental protections under Trump II. It has gone for the most part unnoticed compared to, well, many other things, probably because it’s happening far from the Oval Office. But it’s very important.

Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Not everyone to the left of you is a feckless, immature, naive grifter, just because you've graduated to Big City Job doesn't give you the right to talk down to everyone.

Josh, you mean to tell me, in the US, in Oct 2026…you couldn’t find ANY BETTER MESSAGE to spend your precious political dollars on…than to punch down on ~7 people, who have done *nothing* to harm you…while there are masked, armed militia out here *kidnapping people off the streets*?? REALLY?

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.

callook67 reposted

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

I swear to god someone asked me what MK2 VWs were worth last week and was like "only that much?" when I said good ones are low 5-digits. They're mass-produced automobiles from 40 years ago! They should be worth nothing except the pleasure of driving them! I paid $1000 for mine a decade ago!

The whole reason Radwood was ever fun to begin with is that it was a bunch of people doing home hacks with cars that were largely worth $5,000, with a couple of bedroom wall cars thrown in. The cars of the 00s are just used cars now! The average car on American roads is from 2012!

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Something I've tried to argue for a few years now is that a big part of the attraction of Elon Musk to his obsessive fans is that he is offering any kind of vision of a future that doesn't require some sort of uncomfortable compromise or total despair, and it doesn't matter if it's never fulfilled.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

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.

we aren't in sports! there's a million systemic things in front of us!! what you are supporting is saying that some kid in kansas can't play soccer with her friends. there is no epidemic of trans people dominating sports.

This was the goal with anti gay rights in the '00s and '90s, with anti integration in the '70s and '60s, and even anti communism/labor in the '50s and earlier. Wealthy bigots have one playbook and they've been using it for almost the entirety of living memory

Ramaswamy is doubling down on the ad starring Amy Acton's abusive mother defending Acton's rapist and calling her a liar about it at age 12 because Republican politicians and voters ideologically support the physical and sexual abuse of women and children by men, whom they see as their owners.
