I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

Four panel meme, entitled no one: blank, children around the age of four. In the first two panels the child is running along having a swell time. In the third panel the child asks, “why do you exist?” In the fourth, the child experiences egregious existential crisis

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

Julie Rei Goldstein @julierei.bsky.social · Jul 15

On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

Yes, completely agree. Inundate the public sphere with so much garbage that the best ideas literally cannot rise to the top, thus delegitimizing *all* speech. The only way to stop this is to shut the fuck up, talk privately, and agree on standards delineating worthwhile opinions from not.

Daniel Duke Windsor, PhD 🏳️‍🌈 @thedukewindsor.bsky.social · 24d

if you think you need to say something about current events on social media right now, no the fuck you don't.

i cannot stress this enough: no. the fuck. you don't.

shut the fuck up online and connect with people on private channels.

Empowering everyone to communicate openly is great in theory but in practice that freedom rarely comes with awareness of social, financial, and political consequences.
