Mom. Scientist. Tar Heel. Showing up for humanity. Black Lives Matter. Abortion is healthcare. Trans rights are human rights.

Disappointing. There’s way too much ignorance out there, but there are also a lot of us that know exactly what’s going on and contact our electeds. I’d like to see more emphasis on how politicians respond to what us sane, rational, engaged normies are doing and what our position on issues are.
Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

Let's make a promise here, friends... we ARE going to abolish ICE. Not REFORM it. ABOLISH it. And we're going to put that massive budget back into funding all the things that actually HELP people.

Two of my favorite people to listen to, who are meeting this moment with calm, kindness and love - a welcome antidote to the outrage machine of modern media and politics. Inspirational and aspirational.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Great 🧵The follow on conclusion for why the left does this is it sucks to feel helpless and like the problem is out of your control. It’s very difficult to change mass stupidity, evil and susceptibility to lies. Easier to hope a change in your own behavior could be the solution.
I really enjoyed this @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social pod about Covid & MAHA, but one thing it repeatedly revealed is a habit of liberals that drives me crazy. A short 🧵.

It was a good faith attempt to find language that named the specific thing, was less incendiary, more concise and more palatable to engage in needed discussions about equity. The words we choose to use to describe oppression is not why the Democrats lose.
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.
