Okay sobbing at the Swiftie video
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I heard organizers estimate the participants in Torrance at 7500 with lots more people still arriving. Not bad for a city that had a major fight to get Pride Month recognized the past couple of years.

Why I stopped listening and pledging back in 2016. This is who they've been for a long, long time, despite the good work of individual journalists.
NPR casting Trump as a normal president and normal Republican about to start a normal second term for a Republican president is a bad sign.
All those previous Republicans were reelected right after their first term, and hadn’t conspired to overthrow the Constitution.
The past isn’t precedent here.

Opinion | Democrats would get nothing for throwing trans Americans under the bus
In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.
