The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

I was going to donate to Amy Acton today but decided not to because after giving to Al-Sayed I get 3-5 texts daily asking me to give him more money. I block but they still come in from different numbers. It is as if the GOP came up with the idea to punish small Dem donors with spam. 😔

Trump: "My decision on Russia is simple... Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran, compared to what they could be doing ... Zelenskyy is using refineries as a target, knowing attacks are seriously hurting ... He could have made better deal 2 years ago. His country is in shambles ..."

Workers told me the factory's machines kept failing in bizarre ways. Robots caught fire. The plant’s signature device cracked the steel artillery shells. Sometimes staff had to pound machines with sledgehammers to get them to work right. They still botched most shells.

capitolhunters@capitolhunters.bsky.social

Because we pretended that rot didn't exist, we never cleaned it out. It's still festering in Congress. That's why GOP lawmakers confirm all Trump's nominees, why no one stands to object. Because we taught them that complying was painless, and that we'd look away from treason. That needs to stop. 3/

It's the same reason universities complied as soon as Trump started issuing demands. Why didn't wealthy university presidents announce "I will step down rather than sign academic freedom away"? Because they'd lose their social world. People who need status to survive have no power to resist. 2/
