Encouraging children to be who they are is suicide prevention.

Forcing children to be who the ruling party wants them to be is the opposite.

Are we all clear on this?

In the past 26 hours, the American national anthem has been booed at:

Ottawa Senators game
Calgary Flames game
Toronto Raptors game
Vancouver Canucks game

More to come. And it’s totally justified. We’re pissed.

Orban said 3 years ago that he was offering us his "recipe" for an "illiberal" state.

The next ingredient in this recipe, after hollowing out the federal govt and filling it with loyalists (also Orban) is weakening the legacy media.

Through lawsuits and intimidation.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Not sure why you think you can tell me what to do. Pretty sad your only retort is you demand others do things.

MAGA argues by demanding things of others. Why do you act like them?

We can't sit on the sidelines while Trump attacks the news media. It's more important than ever to actively support the many news outlets & individual journalists committed to rigorous, fearless reporting. I have some recommendations in my new piece ⤵️

Democracy only works if we participate in it. Vote. Work on a campaign. Run.
I updated this due to an astute follower pointing out that Alabama changed their laws to have off year local elections as well. That's a lot of races in 2025 in some 31 states! Local elections matter! Get involved! Send a message! This doesn't even include a bunch of special elections happening now!

This is why elections matter! Local elections !!!!!!!! Arg!!!
The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.

And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

May I suggest: Don’t say “if” we survive, but “when” we survive.

Let’s not grant these rapists and pillagers power over us; they’re counting on our doubts and fears to accelerate their ugly plot. They’re counting on resignation and despair.
