  1. It is objectively true that, since I started #voting in 1976, no #Republican has ever done anything to advance my vision for this #country. No Republican has ever voted in a way that aligned with my #ideals except in a performative way when their #vote didn't matter or at the end of their political life. No Republican #president has improved the #US #economy or ended a #war. With the exception of #PrepFar, no Republican president has done anything purely altruistic abroad. (#Trump destroyed that.) #Democrats are far from perfect, but they are the ones who have brought us kicking and screaming towards a better country, cleaning up after #Republicans at every turn. This is why I vote Democrat in every election.

  6. Thanks to @pluralistic, I found this from May of 2016: morecrows.wordpress.com/2016/0 by Ann Amnesia.

    Read it all. This part, however, explains why someone might make ballot choices you wouldn't agree with. Read to the end.

    Context: Extracted from author's letter to a friend who is a professor. . .

    "Lets be honest- Clinton doesn’t give a shit about me. When Clinton talks about people hurt by the economy, she means you: elite-educated white-collar people with obvious career tracks who are having trouble with their bills and their 401k plans. That’s who boomed under the last president Clinton, especially the 401ks. Me, or the three guys fighting two nights ago over the Township mowing contract, we’re nothing. Clinton doesn’t have an economic plan for us. Nobody has an economic plan for us. There is no economic plan for us, ever. We keep driving trucks around and keep the margins above gas money and maybe take an odd job here or there, but essentially, we’re history and nobody seems to mind saying so.

    "And let me be honest again- Trump doesn’t have an economic plan for me either. What Trump’s boys have for me is a noose- but that’s the choice I’m facing, a lifetime of grueling poverty, or apocalypse. Yeah I know, not fun and games- the shouts, the smashing glass, the headlights on the lawn, but what am I supposed to do, raise my kid to stay one step ahead of the inspectors and don’t, for the love of god, don’t ever miss a payment on your speeding ticket? A noose is something I know how to fight. A hole in the frame of my car is not. A lifetime of feeling that sense, that “ohhhh, shiiiiiit…” of recognition that another year will go by without any major change in the way of things, little misfortunes upon misfortunes… a lifetime of paying a grand a month to the same financial industry busily padding the 401k plans of cyclists in spandex, who declare a new era of prosperity in America? Who can find clarity, a sense of self, any kind of redemption in that world?

    "Fuck it. Give me the fascists, I’ll know where I stand…

    "But I went ahead and took a democratic ballot regardless. And voted for Sanders. And as long as chumps like me keep doing that, we’ll keep getting the Clintons we deserve."

    This group of Jilted Revanchists that Trump primaried are going to chat, plot, and monkey wrench away. If Paxton ends up in the Senate, Cornyns a loser. If Talarico wins, Cornyn's vindicated. And vindication's big with these fellas.

  12. QUSIM RADHID, ESQ 5/26/26
    TODAY A WIN IN THE COURTS

  13. "…Larry Krasner, District Attorney of Philadelphia. 'A federal badge is not a license to violate the Constitution, and it is not a shield from state criminal law. We have prosecuted police officers who broke the law. We have prosecuted public officials who broke the law. We will prosecute ICE agents who break the law. There is no category of American who gets to operate above it.'"

  14. The civil rights movement built power not by capturing the state but by building institutions that formed citizens capable of acting on and with the state when the moment came. The Voting Rights Act ratified that capacity. It did not create it.

    That capacity is what needs rebuilding now. texasobserver.org/supreme-cour

  20. Tonight, a drag bingo event in #tennessee is raising money for my LGBTQ+ non-profit. I'll be registering people to vote, helping people verify their voter registration status, and helping them know where and when to vote... especially given we have been gerrymandered to the nth degree.

    Simultaneously, my non profit is helping to rescue a trans teen (18 year old) who just graduated from high school and whose home has not been safe at all. We're moving him to a safe houseand we're getting him connected to resources, buying food and a phone for him, and helping him with getting employment. This is how I have been fighting back for many years. Every single step we make matters.
