Friends in Palestine, I will not be able to make any more donations in the near future. I hope to again, but for now I have come to the point where we will struggle to make rent if I keep donating even very small amounts. I worry about you all every day, and I hope you all get the help you need!

Good summary except for the missing paragraph on how the Republicans, Manchin and Sinema killed the BBBA, spurred on by a chorus of pundits and think tanks who insisted that it would worsen inflation.

If you're the party of protecting the marginalized people will rightly lose trust in you if you decline to do that
I just want to point out that Colorado went above and beyond to pass laws protecting trans kids this year and the result was them holding the House supermajority and keeping the Senate majority while losing zero seats (flipping one, and losing the one that was the guy who changed parties)
the thing about people saying dems need to throw trans people under the bus is that they already did that when they refused to even offer a counter argument to the decade long dehumanization campaign waged by the right

New from me: A very hearty "shut up and sit down" to anyone who thinks that the right move for Democrats — morally or politically — is to abandon defending of trans rights in the face of Republican attacks
Opinion | Democrats would get nothing for throwing trans Americans under the bus
In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.

Hey everyone: for the next few years, I’m gonna need you to not say the obvious (“Trump won’t allow it”) when I say “we should try to do something.”

We should try to do something.

I would quibble that people hated *what they were told* about it, which is a distinction that matters.

Like the reason we all love Star Trek and Terry Pratchet and all these pop culture things is because most of them are various shades of “caring about people is better than being an ironic asshole all the time” and somewhere inside of most people we recognize that as how we go forward

Trump energized non-voters and first time voters who were sympathetic to his side rather than doing outreach to Democrats and promising to put them in his cabinet. Surely there are no lessons the Democrats can take from this.
Current exit poll estimates show 2020 non-voters favoring Trump, consistent with our first scenario Sunday, in which high turnout boosts his margins in battlegrounds

And among new voters, who told us it was their *first time* ever voting, margin gets bigger (GOP margin driven by men in both groups)

I can’t deal with this shit much more so I’ll try to send one post on this: shut the fuck up about repositioning yourself to being meaner to trans kids and people, that is not why Republicans won a presidential popular vote this year. If your position is “well, it was a factor,” ok even if it Were…

One more thing. Even if this was the massive sweep to the far right it appears to be (and I will concede that if and when I see enough evidence to satisfy me) you still don't make it make it easy for fascists. Throw up bureaucratic blocks and delays if nothing else. They hurt and kill people

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Amal. Amal is from Gaza City and has three small children- Abdullah, Salwa and baby Nour who was born during the war after a very difficult pregnancy that included malnutrition. They also lost her father in law and sister in law in a bombing.
