I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.
There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

When you're raising a child it's daunting and frightening and lifechanging and you need the support of real humans around you who have done it for themselves, and to learn from them. What you do not need is conmen selling you their lying machines to do a job we have been doing since our beginnings.

Transphobes and GC bigots are as much to blame for the rollback of women's rights in the US as literally any other group.
They crawled into bed with the worst misogynists, claiming they were 'saving women's sports' (a lie), and helped elect sexual predators and people who think women are property

#SandiePeggie tribunal and the ongoing gender critical movement are setting back feminism by decades. The amount of misogynistic backlash unleashed on people who disagree with them says it all really.

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

The blatant power grab by the majority white legislature in a Black city like Jackson, MS is spreading across the country.
State takeovers and sweeping abusive preemption laws are rolling back progress and stripping communities of the right to self-govern and ultimately, self-determination.
