I want to wake up tomorrow to be an eight-year-old, non-verbal autistic child in 1969, holding a snow globe of Washington D.C., and having dreamt the last 57 years of the nation’s history.

Ditto, PS included. Iowans, your Dem candidate has just declared himself a loser. Just like Republican Ramaswamy in Ohio, for different reasons. Who are these people pandering to, and how can they imagine their actions are selling points?

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

It's easy to be left-wing when you're a decent human being who's open to learning. Stubborn, rigid, know-it-all dickbags don't seem to get this concept. They'd rather worship an ignorant, ill-mannered child-rapist and continue to lead shitty, pathetic lives.

Stick up for trans people and immigrants every time, all the time.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

I spoke a bit about Matthew Shepard over the weekend in person to some folks, but I didn't want to let the anniversary of his death — October 12, 1998 — pass by without giving a moment to him and his memory here.

I know I’ve done it myself (having a laugh about what is often referred to as the “Mar-A-Lago look”), so I’m one to talk, but the near-immediate proliferation of memes and AI-generated attacks on the appearance of Susan Dell is revolting.

She does not deserve to be used as a punchline due to her appearance, it’s nobody’s business but hers how that appearance manifested, or what her own feelings are, other than to know better than to trample them.

In a time when we’re expressing righteous anger about women’s autonomy and agency being violated non-stop, and about who is doing the violating, this is a thing that must end immediately.

The cool thing about this piece is that I wrote another piece about Missouri and whew boy. The RJ advocates in Missouri were NOT pleased with me. So I sat on it for a couple of days because my first instinct was to be defensive. Then I listened. Then I talked to Pam Merritt. And then I wrote this.

If Lauren Boebert's district here in Colorado can vote for a reproductive health amendment that permits abortion without it being tied to fetal viability, then any red district can—and you will never change my mind. We don't have to settle for crumbs. I wrote about it here.
