A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

I'm real real close to feeling like we can't ever know who these 8 took the fall for, so maybe we should just throw them all out and start from scratch.

moderates love to think they're smarter than you because they see both sides, but that's why they cave to the right every time. they think giving the selfish pricks who whine "give me what I want" constantly makes them good people. it does not. it makes them suckers.
Senate reaches deal to reopen government after moderate Democrats cave
Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave
Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Every day one of my cool indie trans writer friends goes without a six-figure book deal is an atrocity against human culture
I am reading a truly shitty 'speculative thriller' with mysterious non human stuff happening and one of the characters is called "Neil Amai" which I invite you to read backwards.

writing Magica Riot Full Bloom is how I got through the last year tbh 😅
The premise of my writing advice book Never Say You Can't Survive continues to be incredibly true. The world is unspeakably horrific but writing a silly new novel is bringing me so much comfort and brightness
