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.
regardless of whether you think the polls are right, the polls are wrong in favor of republicans, the polls are wrong in favor of democrats, or you just want all of us to shut up about polls, I hope we can all agree on one thing
show up and vote to put these dipshits in an electoral dumpster
I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning
People hate that stupid ballroom. I keep on encouraging Congress to sue as a representative body to tear it down. Sometimes, you take the easy win, Dems.
A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.
NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report.
Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.
This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:
Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election.
This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side.
But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX
yes, lay the groundwork for investigations with teeth targeting the Republican billionaire media conglomerates in 2029
oh they’ll bias coverage against you in 2028? what else is new, how’s that working out for them in 2026
this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years
televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein
make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it
There's so much else wrong with this stupid lawsuit but on this specific point: despite being "busy" with "lives" and "jobs," Alaskans were able to spell M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I when they reelected her to the Senate as a write-in candidate in 2010 after she lost the GOP primary.
Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan?
JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.
Trump: I'm gonna fuck the flag.
Vance (later, after being asked if Trump is going to fuck the flag): President Trump loves making jokes and respects America.
Trump (that night): I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right here on this stage.

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
Yes. My median scenario is Trump rants, it becomes their talking point, DOJ probably files some more junk suits like these, but then not much else happens. There's real risk of worse, some full push to go insane on Jan 3, but more likely it doesn't get that far, and also that would still fail.
It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead

There are so many different credible allegations about Donald Trump being a rapist, you can almost understand how The New York Times missed the new charges here, but uh, this is supposed to be The New York Times.

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election.
It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.
CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.
the reason a bunch of us think we might get a serious polling error in favor of dems this cycle is that a lot of polls, when you look at LV screens, are going “we think the shape of the electorate is going to look like 2022 or even redder in terms of who actually votes”
does that sound credible?

i cannot believe i've been driven to post about internal DSA politics (do i hate myself?) but lives are on the line. LA cannot afford another term of karen bass with her cops gleefully throwing away homeless people's dentures & cops beating grandmas. Mayors have POWER over domestic policy.
This right here was the most damning part of the report; Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell to signal to her the following: (1) we know that there is material related to Jane; (2) we know that you have information related to Jane; and (3) we will move you to a minimum security prison.
Much easier for the media to lock in on faux Cheesecake Factory outrage than a House Dem report indicating Todd Blanche basically told Ghislaine Maxwell "stop talking" when she was about to discuss a girl that could more closely tie Trump to Epstein
Turns out the global march of fascism was also defeated by the actual most powerful force in politics, which is thermostatic public opinion go brrrrrrrrr

my comment on the national DSA trying to torpedo nithya at the last minute: fuck off, be a serious political organization, what the hell are you doing
this choice is not close
who should be the mayor of LA is not an academic question. it is a real one that will determine the lives of people who will live under the power of that mayor. There are Angelenos who's lives will be literally thrown in a garbage can and burned if karen bass wins.
