I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for

infuriating that anyone took the non-interventionist bullshit from this crew seriously
When I said last year that the average American MAGA supporter closely resembles a Russian vatnik in both mindset and ideology, I meant it seriously.

the continued whitewashing of her actions because she made a few statements that are the bare minimum for supporting trans people as any politician is gross

Putting my radical take out there that if you participated in bullying Parker Malloy, a trans journalist with a long history of queer advocacy off this site, for the reason that she asked "why" on a pic putting tits on a chibi character on a game marketed to children, you're kind of a shit person

Because people seem to need to be reminded: just because you curse a crappy elected Democrat, doesn't mean you're advocating either staying home, or letting the Republican win.
And if you don't vote in Democratic primary elections, you should start.

I specifically said "in the upcoming Democratic primary". You know what primaries are, right? It's when you choose to vote against one Democrat, by voting for a different Democrat.

There's a rising faction of the legal academy that stays quiet when their MAGAdemic colleagues produce fraudulent psuedo-scholarship in service to the cruelest aspects of Trump's agenda ... then leap in to police the discourse when their progressive colleagues criticize those MAGAdemics too bluntly.

Like I understand that both leftists (et al) and liberals (and centrists) are both against fascism and hate Trump. Good. It's that the liberals want to do the same shit they've been doing for 40 years that clearly doesn't work, and then call leftists traitors and trump supporters and idiots about it
