...all the animosity hurled towards trans ppl the last few days is completely misplaced. this is a *cisgender problem*: cis ppl need to decide whether you want us to be part of the anti-MAGA coalition or not. if you do, then call out the Dems pushing us out... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

Instead of telling us how well he does on his dementia tests, Trump should explain why his doctors keep making him take dementia tests.

When Democrats do well this fall, we’re going to see a lot of “strategists” trying to take credit for their approach. The trans panic people have been nothing but a drag on Democratic momentum and they need to fuck off into the sun

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

this guy has been a political actor since ~2015. theres never been a master plan. he just talks shit. the problem with our politics/media ecosystem is it rewards shit talk. but there's no ozymandias plan at play. trump isnt thinking any steps ahead. he just says shit.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

The racism that Abdul El-Sayed is facing from Republicans, the press, and even some Democrats is so disgusting.

If the racist trillionaire doesn’t like you, you’re doing something right

Nazi shit newrepublic.com/post/216912/...

The greatest challenge of our time isn’t to figure out how to get to Mars or become interstellar, but to figure out how to live sustainably on Earth.

Trump is an endless gutter full of racism

Not at all different from what’s happening in the U.S.

Hah hah it's funny because we are murderers

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it

“If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.” “Do you think Trump will apologize?” “When pigs fly, maybe.” 🐷 🐖 There were no reflecting pool vandals. Trump’s lies are endless.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the man ICE shot on Sunday, was sent to a detention center *with a bullet still in his back.* He was reportedly given no pain medication and only sent to a hospital after losing feeling in the left side of his body. ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds.

a lot freaks me out about AI but 0% of my anxiety is about AGI. i think this is the part that freaks me out the most right now -- the many many indications that no one is at the wheel and no adults are present

You should literally never believe a word Trump says.

They’d be the first on their knees.

If you are a fisherman in the Caribbean and are even suspected of having drugs on the boat, the Trump regime claims it has the “right” to automatically kill you. However, if you run one of the biggest drug rings in the US, you get a Trump pardon and then a speech at the GOP convention.

The other irony here is that Vance's right wing Catholicism/Christian Nationalism is much closer to sharia law (and a bigger threat to democracy) than anything in El Sayed's actual affordability platform. "Sharia law" is clearly just race baiting like Vance has a history of doing.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

The most dangerous person is the moron who thinks he knows everything with the ability to wreck the fortunes of a country and harm its people. We’ve had many bad presidents, but there was just nobody close to this bad.

Trump, Miller and the rest simply don’t care about these people. Their only worth, as they see it, are as fodder for their racist and nativistic demagoguery.

Incarcerating and deporting children is evil and morally bankrupt. Sending children to a place they don't know, away from their community, inflicting harm and trauma is not making anyone safer.

seems that way, even when facing fascism and the end of American democracy their priority is defeating a progressive. It's impossible to have enough contempt for these people.

"Trump hates America. He hates the values on which America was built. He hates democracy. He hates rule of law. He hates all of the things that are what we’re supposed to be about as a nation." Der Untergang paulkrugman.substack.com/p/der-unterg...

Your right to safety should not depend on the accident that is the place of your birth.

I have a new post that examines why much traditional Christian interpretation of the Hebrew Bible is wrong. skepticaltheologian.substack.com/p/the-illegi...

for-profit prisons are top 3 most evil things we do in this country and its exciting to see a dem senate candidate take this on. fuck geo group forever

Donald Trump is a crook. And he’s trying to steal American taxpayers blind. It will take the overwhelming turnout of American voters—who have eyes to see this theft—to stop this non-stop criminal operation.

Why do the dumbest people on earth conflate the propagation of the species with “everyone was fine and certainly no one never died of easily preventable or treatable diseases.”

Trump's one true area of expertise is cheating zeteo.com/p/cheating-i...

Murdoch media can be counted on for shameless propaganda.

The American press could probably make better sense of the world if it was not so dedicated to simply moving past the episode where we unilaterally decided to murder all the leaders of a country we were not, until that moment, at war with

RFK Jr is an example of someone who is so profoundly and incorrigibly ignorant that he confuses his inability to understand science and data with being smarter than the scientists. He's also addle-brained. The number of people influenced by him is a sad commentary on the gullibility of the public.

Here's how I put it in my piece yesterday. Not even slightly an exaggeration. newrepublic.com/article/2141...

Israel has rejected the Trump/“Board of Peace” plan for Gaza. Iran has rebuffed all US demands, and Hormuz remains closed. Can we not fall for “imminent deal!” or “peace plan!” again? Please! And treating the president as a child you overpraise to encourage steps towards good behavior has failed.

😬

Trump’s rug looks ridiculous.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
