Did you see this??? An entire 50 PERCENT of Democratic voters under 30 want the party to MOVE TO THE LEFT on transgender issues. Comparing with other issues polled, it's second only to healthcare as an issue younger voters want to see the party move left on.

"Getting a Nazi tattoo when he was drunk 20 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Blaming rape victims for being drunk 10 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Calling people f*g**** 5 yrs ago is OK; he's grown since then." "Cheating on his wife 2 yrs ago is OK 'cus he's grown since then."

he was praising a far-right podcast and appearing on it *after the Nazi tattoo was exposed*

I should not have to know this much about any man from Maine

i think this is accurate and worth thinking about. A D vs D governor's race would all-but guarantee a wipeout of Rs in all the competitive House seats in CA and in a bunch of other swingy downballot races

One reason Republicans have had lots of political success in recent years (i.e., control of all three branches of government, the majority of governors and most state legislatures) is because their movement is underpinned by the threat of state and state-sponsored violence.

10,000 democrats march down main street and everyone knows they'll go home at 5pm 100 republicans march down main street and there's a non-zero chance they'll take over city hall

Like I was saying

whatever the republican candidate says is always "front and center" in any given american political race.

no shade intended to anyone’s taste in these matters but it would be cool if everyone worked their stuff out in slightly less destructive ways

Lies, damned lies, and statistics as they say. I'm also curious about what has a balance means. I pay off my card in full every 2 weeks when I get paid, but at any given moment I have a balance. am I counted?

Because it’s a lot harder to make something built to last (and withstand legal scrutiny) than it is to flood the zone with shit and tell someone else to try to clean it up. The fight is asymmetric, all statements like this say is “I wish it was as easy to do good things as it is to do bad ones”.

My hope is that a steyer-becerra run off will push becerra left because I really don't want to have to vote for the billionaire for governor

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

How I feel about it.

What do you mean it'll take 100 years for the tree to regrow? They cut it down in 10 minutes!

What do you mean you'll never vote for newsom? I mean I'll vote for the Dem nominee who certainly won't be Sacramento Bateman

I just think "people no longer respond positively to low unemployment or improving conditions" is not really something you can accept and move past. It's a death blow to the entire concept of rational liberal governance, replacing it with a phantasmagoria where we lurch between delirious panics.

And honestly, I think this is the real way we should proceed with historical crafts, by and large: hobbyists who keep the real, authentic craft alive (kind of like heirloom vegetable gardeners) but understanding that's not a way forward for organizing the economy.

zero creativity on how to actually wield power, infinite creativity for coming up with reasons for why wielding power would be a mistake and its smarter to do nothing

it's always interesting when cops with long histories of abusive behavior also happen to have side hustles or even entire side businesses they own and operate! tricky thing to get the capital for on a cop's salary!

Don't believe FIRE. It always skews its supposed research to favor the white Christian nationalist views. Its purported annual survey of campus speech *omits* conservative religious affiliated institutions. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new... 🧵

Just saw the ultimate in Blueskynomics

also: "lizard people" jokes, which are really common with Miller and also hearken back to centuries-old conspiracy shit.

If solar panels or heat pumps blew up entire apartment buildings as often as natural gas systems do, they would be banned tomorrow.

There's an argument to be made that most mass shooters fall into this category, and if you look at it this way we've been under sustained violent attack by right wing terrorists for like 30 years, with the second Trump administration as its apex and ultimate victory.

the columbine shooters were neonazis and nobody was allowed to tell anyone that for like thirty years, and as a result instead of a public backlash to and government crackdown on neonazi internet groups, we have neonazi interns running the government

Bum out the right: vote Steyer.

The UC Berkeley IGS poll is out! Becerra 25 Hilton 21 Steyer 19 Californians: it is your patriotic duty to vote for Steyer to give us a Becerra/Steyer matchup so we can depress Republican turnout for every congressional and down ballot race in the state. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Steyer - Becerra would also just be the most unhinged possible general election. Genuine chaos in a way that would be very fascinating to observe vs a very boring fait accompli D vs R general if Hilton gets through

interracial cuck porn theory of the right

But but but mamdani Mamdani ran in a ranked choice election and was polling in second place 3 months out We're 5 days out at this point in a jungle election

"Wah I don't like either party now" from any trump voter is a W, we take those

Lying on the internet is bad, even when all your friends retweet it and the lie broadly reinforces your ideological commitments

has this story broken through at all? i can’t tell.

COGE and Project 2029 are both stupid names for the same reason—we need new ideas to build a new world, and slightly altering the names of fascist programs does not give the impression you’re changing much.

i just dont want to see democrats get roped into a “man off” in every competitive race, i want them to respond by pointing out you are insecure about your tiny dick if you tie your own masculinity to a political party

the challenge for talarico and dems will not just be repeating this accusation over and over again, but telling the story over and over again, so that voters understand the words "adam hoffman" as a synecdoche for the entire case against Paxton every time they are invoked.

Israel wasn't mentioned once in this clip. Calling a Jewish member of Congress "Israel first" over *this* is conflating Jews and Israel in a very problematic way.

lmao

the position here is that being a liberal is itself a heresy and that the only real christianity is whatever happens to be aligned with the republican party

Compare this statement to Becerra saying it is ok to exclude trans people from sports because of “who they are.”

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

I propose the sweeping reform that he resign and sweep away everyone else involved in this with him

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

*whispers* The idea that God is GENDERED is actually the really creepy position to take.

The accusation of "you're a f***** if you don't do what I want you to" is rigged to be unaddressable and literally beaten into many (but in 2026 by no means all) young men like a sleeper agent to be activated whenever reactionaries want them to do something like join the marines or buy a fancy truck

I hear a lot of "he just needs to showily perform masculinity in a way that will shut them up!" by like going on sports talk radio or whatever but it's really important to understand that this is not actually effective for dispelling toxic challenges to masculinity.

smh having to remove Flo Rida from the playlists Not spinning right round any more :(

a lot falls into place when you recognize that dogmatic Zionists are the same type of guy as Serbian nationalists who angrily deny that the Srebrenica massacre happened and they had it coming anyway www.liberalcurrents.com/israel-is-a-...
