No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

it is evil.
i know a lot of my fellow liberals dont like to use that word. but im happy to use it when the shoe fits. these kids need to be protected, not attacked. going after them for craven political purposes -- any purpose -- is evil. and those who do so should burn in hell for all eternity.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Incredibly angry about this every day.

The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.

Susie Wiles sounds the alarm on gas prices White House aides and Cabinet officials are coming under intense pressure to reverse the spike in energy prices caused by the start of the war in the Middle East.

a saying that stuck with me from the minute i heard it seems very applicable right now:

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

i personally think congress would be far better if we had more people who went to the university of hard knocks than the ivy leagues.

another person i frequently see liberals pull this talking point with is sean hannity. sorry but of all the horrific things about hannity - racism, pro torture, open lying - his lack of a college education is literally not on the list.

i hate when liberals pull shit like that. i know part of it is because its a sensitive topic for me but you'd think we would have less credentialism when the two worst presidents of the last 50 years went to fucking yale and wharton.

The insistence on blaming *everything* that goes wrong on leftists minimizes the impact of legitimate criticism. It is also its own form of MAGA fascism (a convenient scapegoat for all society's ills).

Leftists aren't why Fetterman trounced Conor Lamb almost 2 to 1.

MAGA truly believes the rest of the world is populated by NPCs & therefore they can just romp through a level playing as if just for fun with no consequences.
