I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Got yelled at this week for making statements that will supposedly alienate the average white male voter and what I want to emphasize is this: appealing to the average white male voter is not my aim and not my job.

Fighting fascism by praising the man who essentially started our march to fascism. Liberals are fundamentally unsuited for this moment in history. They're fine with fascism, so long as it is implemented with sufficient decorum.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Based on this last week of voting, at minimum there are 15 Democratic Senators who have no interest whatsoever in doing everything they can to stop fascism. I'm not posting this to be depressing, but to state the sober reality of how much work is being abdicated to us to fight fascism.

the final straw for Mick Foley was not the racist rhetoric, the anti-trans agenda, not the haunting deportations, not bombing random boats at sea, not supporting a genocidal colonist state, & not the billion of other dehumanizing statements and actions.

My favorite thing about the Mick Foley post from the other day is all the right wingers yesterday saying things like "Well, he has brain damage! Of COURSE he dumped Trump!", as if the inverse of that wouldn't be "The brain damaged guy can see the obvious and you can't".

I see why Newsom wants to be identified with Reagan, because just like Reagan, he’s abandoning LGBTQ people. Also he’s a neoliberal enabler of capitalist domination and control.

I bet ICE can’t even define “serious public safety threat”.
In my mind that is only a person with a gun threatening to kill those inside - and honestly that is normally just a young white Christian male citizen.
