Things can get better but they are not going to get better on their own. We have to accept that we are responsible for making things better, and that may include sacrifice. I am willing to accept that sacrifice, and while I am still figuring out what that means, I am willing to find the #GoodTrouble

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

It’s amazing watching a campaign be warned by their allies they were about to self immolate, proceed to self immolate with extreme vigor, and then proceed to continue to pour gasoline on themselves as they burned.

It’s really not that hard to say this. It is a morally clear and persuasive answer to such questions.

Kyle Pitts scores a touchdown, trucks a mic operator, then he and Drake London make sure she's OK and on her feet before celebrating. cool as hell

Played terrible on all sides of the ball. Caught 0 breaks. Minnesota is a bad team that Iowa let beat them. Eat Arby’s.

The best evidence in favor of a Dem landslide is this--Republicans are stuck in the low 40s in the generic ballot while Dem numbers just keep creeping up. Dems are winning the late deciders, the low attention folks that pay attention at the end. Republicans aren't

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

the state's attorney, who is running uncontested, is named "Goodenough"

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Dem and Unaf raw ballots are +60% versus 2022, Rep are down 9%. That is *massive* and does not account for any persuasion. 15.6% of Dems who voted in 2022 have voted already, that was 9.1% in the last cycle. Reps are 6.7% vs 7.4%. Low Rep turnout led by recent R registrants.

This is completely insane surrender mentality. You do it to make them explain their decisions in a public forum. Your answer is to not use their platform, but that is a meaningless gesture unless you can convince a majority to do the same. Use it to undermine their entire corporate model.

Incredibly instructive context to view the interaction through. The Christian nationalist agenda (which Al-Sayed gives Tommy PLENTY of opportunity to walk out of) is effectively allergic to constitutionality. Treat them as anti-American and make them prove otherwise!

I think the “transgender” issue and GOP success in 2024 are not connected in a meaningful way and 100% learned the wrong lesson. It’s basically the same thing that happened with what Trump did in Venezuela where he learned the wrong lesson and that led to disaster in Iran

Crime has seen historic drops over the past 5 years continuing a trend that started a couple decades ago

It’s not ideal, but it turns out you ‘can’ actually vote harder, and *this* is how you make change happen

"The Scaramucci" is dead -- long live "the Zacharia"!

I think there is a danger in taking a stage publicly stunt designed to trick people into thinking this is a real thing cars will be able to do, and not criticizing it as clear effort at market manipulation

“Show some gratitude” is perhaps the most racist dog whistle ever and as a white dude it makes me want to *redacted for legal reasons*

God, these people are so soft. Just the whiniest lil babies. This is what it looks like when you have not actually tested your positions in the “marketplace place of ideas” and surround yourself with sycophants. (It’s also amazing how these people meltdown if you just laugh at them)
