Purple Regression, if you will.

Oh! And before you hinge your lil fingers to tap out a “well, akchully,” please know that this isn’t up for debate. My blocking finger stays ready.

This “purple revolution” thing isn’t a revolution. It’s just white people doing the same things they do every few years in the name of preserving whiteness without acknowledging that they’re just fine with locking arms with bigots (which makes them bigots, too, but they ain’t ready for that convo).

They’re gonna have to argue with their mommas at this point.

But that girl has always been racist, so why it’s news now is beyond me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m gonna be blunt and say there is almost never gonna be a useful conversation had just by white men in our current discourse

Hell if it’s just men it’s suspect. Same for white women

They aren’t the root of the targeting, and they will never admit having aided it

To be fair, Ezra Klein is wrong about most things, not only abortion, but @jessicavalenti.bsky.social is always right. Winning an abortion initiative in AZ, a swing state that’s actually red, proves abortion is a winning issue across the political spectrum. jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...
