Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

SUPER common in tech, to the point that many white male techies firmly believe that there's a quota system in place. How women/PoC being heavily favored for techie jobs never seems to lead to more women/PoC in techie jobs does not occur to them.

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.

There's probably a better way to word it, but the Democratic Party's motto for 2026 and beyond should be "Reconstruction 2.0" and the first move should be a new version of the Klan Act that puts Trumpism in the cross-hairs.

The election of Donald Trump and his continued presidency is a catastrophic failure of the U.S. Constitution and our political institutions on the scale of the Civil War. We should spend the next decade reforming our laws and rules to ensure that nothing like it ever happens again.
