a formal age limit on elected politicians would *absolutely* lead to stripping of rights for people over that cap
how do I know? because of how children, the other group denied the franchise based on age, are treated (they have no rights and their parents can do literally anything to them)

Back at the emergency room, sitting outside, with the same foot wound that I was discharged for on the 20th. Debating whether or not I should go in or go home and finish packing until I bleed out on the floor.

Anybody else’s empathy dying on the vine a bit?
I don’t care about people’s regrets without apology or repair
Folks are eager to not feel bad , but not eager to commit to making sure it can’t happen again

Democrats should have a slide show going while talking bc these assholes shout over them. Have a big tablet or monitor display slides while you speak. Jones did well here, but it was really hard to hear him b/c of all the shouting. The picture he held up, though spoke volumes.
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

And don't be a doomer in other people's mentions, whether on the subject of elections or anything else.
Our job is to mobilize each other and ourselves for the huge task ahead, and doomerism is demobilizing.

the express belief here is that America's men have elected their candidate, and that because the men's candidate won the election, that the people protesting are women and women-affiliated and that being a politically active woman is illegal now
this is what they *actually think*

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

When NIMBYs say that California is full and their cities can’t accommodate more housing, they are saying that queer people trying to get out of red states are on their own.
New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities.
Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving.

I am having lots of feeling about big publications saying she lived with a ‘partner’ and that her child is now an orphan. And memorial posts pointing out she was a mother but not mentioning her wife. I keep telling myself it’s a conversation for later but idk.

the extent to which this is an obvious anti-LGBT hate crime should not go understated
I know we can't currently "prove" this but I believe firmly that that monster shot a lesbian in front of her wife because he hates lesbians and women

Really cannot get over that he filmed it on his cell phone. He circled the car, filming it. He might have said something to her wife. He made a fucking snuff film.

This is going to save a lot of lives. Millions of people were going to be priced out of health insurance. The ACA was a _real_ victory. I am tired of people shitting all over it because it didn't all the problems at once.
Just left the House floor after we passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!!
