A Charm of Finches is the most important book I ever wrote. Steffen Finch is a psychologist who uses art therapy to counsel male victims of sexual assault. The audiobook is brilliantly narrated by @darreneliker.bsky.social. Please look and listen. And maybe learn. 🫶

I told y'all, turns out the career politicians actually know which issues to take a stand on and how to best formulate their message such that it causes maximum disarray among Republicans.

It’s quite an old feeling, you just happened to notice this time.

THEY’VE BEEN TAKING A STAND THIS WHOLE TIME, YOU JUST FINALLY DECIDED TO NOTICE BECAUSE THEY’RE DROPPING F BOMBS!

Are you groping for a strawman argument?

It’s not just the one thing. It’s the thing you picked.

Hope for the best, prepare for disappointment.

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

We used fascist and authoritarian and that didn’t seem to register either. What’s the word, then? Asshole? Is that the new Dem message? Donald Trump is an asshole?

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

Oh would you stop with this nonsense. They are not *begging* to do that. They’re pointing out Republican failings and keeping the focus on HC. You’re just pre-programmed to sneer at anything coming from Schumer or Jeffries, and you lump everyone else as “other Dems” and “a lot” without names.

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

I’m sorry, what’s your point here?

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

It’s like Napoleon invading Russia and then realizing “Hm, maybe we should’ve brought warmer clothing?”

Senate and House leadership say it’s about a lot of things. You just happened to pick that one.

Is that what you thought?

“Dems must consolidate the multi-pronged fight against a fascist regime into a single five-word message that encompasses every concern. This message must be everywhere doing everything all at once. It must also be in the five words of my choosing. I won’t tell you what they are. Good luck!”

And his need to QT me instead of continuing the linear conversation is quite telling.

“Everything will be fixed if Dems just say the right magic words” is a hell of a take.

Anthony Michael Kreis @anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 1h

Democrats do not have a singular theme that synthesizes the various issues they're advocating for/against. It's a call for effective branding to build a coalition.

This is not an unusual suggestion for a political party to develop.

Gaslighting? Methinks not. Folks need to breathe and engage.

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

I’m fucking l’exhausted. His original post passive-aggressively wonders why Dems aren’t running with the straightforward message they’re *actually* running with. Now he’s le gaslighting.

Arrested by whom?

Suanne Laqueur @suannelqr.bsky.social · 1h

Dems don’t have the authority to prosecute right now. You know this.
